USATODAY.com - Five guys to grab before they heat up

USATODAY.com - Five guys to grab before they heat up

I like the hitters Mr. Hunt suggests, but on the pitchers, I am more concerned.

Perez claims he hurt his shoulder while asleep. First that sounds like Jeff Kent's washing the car injury froma couple years ago - something the club or player says to cover a more contract/career-damaging cause. And if it really was hurt while asleep, is there anything he can do to avoid doing that?

Lilly has book-ended good starts (his first of the season and last) with completely crappy ones. I don't trust the shoulder.

Buying low also includes believing the low point is caused by something within the players control - getting in shape or adjusting to a new league- or out of it like bad luck. It does not include injuries as a reason to buy low.
