The past 2 weeks have left many owners reeling from injury.  Several fantasy stars went on the shelf and, to make matters worse, most of the losses occurred at weak positions.  Seeing names like Dustin Pedroia, Troy Tulowitzki, and Chase Utley is enough to make any owner sick. You’re not going to find anyone on waivers to match the production of your injured stud, but you can still work some hot streaks to chip away at the loss.  Here are several players that may be available in your league to help soften the injury woes.

On the surface – These players probably show up at the top of your 2B/SS waiver search.  Both have sufficient power, but their batting averages have been lagging.

Jose Lopez, Sea (2B, 3B) - .244-27-5-30-3

Sean Rodriguez, TB (2B, OF) - .260-27-5-28-6

A little deeper – These players have spent significant time on the DL this season, so they may have slipped through the cracks.

Freddy Sanchez, SF (2B) - .299-18-1-19-0

Carlos Guillen, Det (OF, 2B, DH) - .287-19-5-21-1

Down deep – These players have starting jobs and are thoroughly one-dimensional.

Cliff Pennington, Oak (SS) - .247-31-3-23-11

Orlando Cabrera, Cin (SS) - .246-35-3-30-10
