Huston Street, Athletics

Average position ranking on other popular fantasy baseball sites: 12

Why he's liked: He was the 2005 American League Rookie of the Year, and he followed that performance by saving 37 games the next season.

Why you should be wary: He spent two months on the disabled list last season with an irritated nerve in his right elbow, and he's playing for a team that might as well have a for-sale sign on two-thirds of its roster. If Street is traded, his value could increase. If he lingers on a 60-win team, there won't be a lot of saves to be had. As is the case with Carlos Pena, his ranking remains in the top 12 because of the options who follow.
