SS Erick Aybar, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: Aybar has been a valuable commodity each of the last two years because he has stolen at least 20 bases while playing a shallow position. This season, however, he has just four steals, eliminating much of his value. If you're in a league that uses batting average, you're feeling alright about his .285 average, but his .304 OBP hurts in OBP leagues. And even with his decent average, if all a guy does is hit .285 without contributing to any other category, he's not exactly moving the needle.
