While we'd love to give you great names to pick up week after week, the fact is that in many leagues, especially deep leagues, good hitters are hard to find. Sometimes, though, there's value in warning you away from players who appear more valuable than they really are. While it's great to score a prize free agent, it's often equally good to avoid wasting money on a player who's likely to hurt your team (or at least not help enough to be worth the FAAB you're spending).
