Mike Trout: The numbers are impressive while he has battled in the majors to hit .348 with 12 homers and 30 bases swiped. While he has tons of speed, power and agility (the reason Al Kaline related him to Yankee legend Mickey Mantle) but realistically I don't see these kind of numbers being on his resume for the 2012 season. If your in a keeper league than you should be set on Trout but in a 1 year league he could have enough value right now to give you some major improvements, but you must do it before he comes down to Earth.
R.A Dickey: While I was big on Dickey before the season I didn't see numbers this good coming from the knuckleballer. His 2.66 ERA and 12-1 record along with 127 strikeouts has impressed everyone. Dickey has looked so sharp as of lately though giving up 5 runs in 3 of his last 4 starts, but this doesn't mean he wont be efficient. Dickey will continue to have dominant games but with a knuckle ball as his main pitch we may start to see some inconsistency in his game, which is why now is the time to sell.
Melky Cabrera: A .353 average has highlighted the season of Cabrera but I doubt he will end the season with that number so high. Cabrera is a solid batter and has shown solid consistency in his career but these numbers surpass his expectations. If there's one thing I've learned about consistent players its that they rarely break out this much, so history is against Melky and that's why his value has peaked.
Carlos Beltran: 20 long balls and 65 RBIs so far is far from the expectations fantasy owners expected from Beltran, which is why now is the time to sell. With the age and injury past he has had you cant expect these numbers to keep going. Beltran was once expected to hit like this every season but that was years ago. With the value Beltran could bring in you could get some solid young studs in return, and I recommend doing so.
