The Miami Marlins had high hopes for 2012 with a new ballpark and fat payroll, only to quickly see their season go up in smoke. If there's a silver lining to the year that wasn't, it's the emergence of younger players like Steve Cishek (RHP, MIA) who has jumped Heath Bell (RHP, MIA) to become the club's closer in August.

It looks like the Fountain of Youth is actually located in the Bronx. After Derek Jeter (SS, NYY) hit .260 in the first half of 2011, it looked like he was on the downside of his career. But after he got his 3,000th hit, he went on a tear—and he hasn’t slowed down since.

When we last looked at Yovani Gallardo (RHP, MIL) in early May, he had an unsightly 6.08 ERA and 1.65 WHIP. Don't jump, we advised—and it turned out to be good advice.

After three straight injury-shortened campaigns where he continued to flash strong skills, it was hard to know if Jake Peavy (RHP, CHW) could find a way to improve his results while staying healthy over a full season. Peavy has succeeded on both counts so far in 2012 by avoiding the DL while translating strong skills into strong results...

The strikeout and groundball combination of Zach Britton (LHP, BAL) put him in some elite company in August, making him an intriguing stretch-run target in deep leagues.

You have needs. No, we're talking about baseball issues. With the stretch run nigh upon us, we'll take a look at free agents who might help where you need it most.

Oft-injured Carlos Quentin (OF, SD) missed the first two months of the season after going under the knife this spring to repair a knee. But since his return, he's pretty much been the slugging, slow-footed outfielder Padres brass thought they were getting when they traded for him last winter.

Going into the 2011 draft, it all seemed so simple—Adam Dunn (1B/DH, CHW) had hit 38+ HR for seven straight years, and had moved to a hitter’s park. But it was not to be; Dunn and his anemic performance dragged down numerous fanalytic teams. Those who took a chance on a recovery this year have gotten a mixed bag of results.

Five names worth knowing among call-ups: Aumont, Wilson, Bundy, Rondon and Black. Aumont and Wilson are already up, Bundy is a special player, Rondon and Black have big K/9 and could get called.
