Welcome back to Buy & Sell, where this week’s theme is Wow, the White Sox are bad! That’s only tangentially relevant to the players I’ll mention here, but I felt like it still needed to be said again, especially since I called Luis Robert Jr. a 10-team sell! Still, there are some opportunities here that are worth looking into in deep leagues and some hot rebound players that can take you to the top in shallow leagues, so let’s get on to the list!

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
