MARKET PULSE: Towel time?

A thousand thanks to the folks at OnRoto.com for providing the oh-so-important league ownership data for this article.

With 2015 nearly in the books, let's take a look at players who are generally available in most leagues and could be good pickups for 2016. You won't find Corey Seager or Byron Buxton on this list—they're already owned in most leagues. These guys are the best of the rest, mostly young players. They're organized from most owned to least owned.

Aaron Nola (RHP, PHI) will have close to 100 IP at the major-league level by the end of the season. That's something that puts him ahead of other young starters, and it shouldn't be discounted. While he doesn't have a great strikeout pitch, his outstanding control keeps his ERA...

Almost!

Who's on second (no, who's on first)? We'll be answering that this week. It's a thin position with some decent opportunities for value.

Yes, the outfield is more scarce than several other positions. Who would have thunk it?

Both bargains and potential pitfalls in the 3B pool this year. Overall, though, it's going to be hard to find top-level players to fill out your roster.

Happy pre-season! This week, we'll examine the market for catchers, and will toss our DH-only guys in as well, since (with one exception), they're also slow as molasses.
