Injuries have opened up potential value for the rest of 2010. Be careful during the waiver wire scramble.  Carlos Delgado, 1B, Red Sox - Delgado, 38, is in demand. Several clubs wanted the masher who clubbed 38 homers in '08 and is recovering from hip surgery, but the Red Sox have a glaring need at first base with Kevin Youkilis out for the season. Delgado will need a farm stint before hitting the bigs, however.  Can you still find waiver wire pop like this? AL-only players might consider stashing him now and activating him when he's called up -- which will be sometime before Sept. 1. Keep him in your deep mixed sights, too.  Jhoulys Chacin, SP, Rockies - With Aaron Cook's DL placement, Chacin, 22, returns to big league starting. He boasted potent dominance (9.73 K/9 this year) despite a brutal correction.  Chacin's control slips away sometimes (4.15 walks per nine), but his ground-ball penchant eased his transition into the MLB rotation. Seekers of a pitching spark shouldn't forget that.  Mike Lowell, 3B, Red Sox - Delgado or another external stick might strip at-bats from this vet, but don't ignore Lowell. Boston lost first sacker Kevin Youkilis (thumb) for the season. Lowell should start there often for the near future, barring another acquisition.  Lowell prefers hacking at Fenway Park and against southpaws. In deep mixed leagues you could squeeze out corner infield duty at least within his favorable splits. He's capable of more. Though now a MASH unit, the Sox lineup remains potent, and Lowell hitting in the middle of it can't hurt.  J.P. Arencibia, C, Blue Jays - John Buck (finger) might not be DL'ed for long, but the Jays harvested the hot Arencibia. Toronto won't ignore this audition -- Buck is a free agent after 2010. Though Arencibia might start out backing up Jose Molina, how long can the Jays waste the former's bat on the pine?  Arencibia's talent is clear, similar to his vision since he underwent offseason LASIK surgery and how he felt after recovering from a flare-up of a since-birth kidney disease. He also tinkered with the trigger mechanism in his swing. Bang: .303-31-79, .998 OPS at Class AAA Las Vegas. Thank the bat-friendly Pacific Coast League, in part, but two-catcher players shouldn't ignore his potentially difference-making offensive makeup.
