Rosters expand to 40 around Major League Baseball on September 1st. Fantasy owners that are still playing for something in their fantasy baseball leagues need to know which players could make an impact. Here's some my notes from the Fantasy Fastball on GetSportsRadio.com.

Marlins - Cameron Maybin (AA):  spent time on DL with back earlier in season.  Now missing some games after being bit by a spider.  In between, he’s hit .278/13 HR/20 SB.  But has 115/56 K/BB ratio.

Mets - Jon Niese (AAA): already rumored to be taking Maine’s rotation slot.  However, Mets don’t need fifth until Sept. 2.  So he’ll basically be a call-up.  Has 3.18 ERA, with solid but unspectacular 143K/161 IP.  Only 21, so there’s plenty of room to grow and learn.  Good control.  Shouldn’t start him on 2nd, they get the Brewers.

Brewers - Mat Gamel (AAA):  .328 avg / 20 HR / 99 RBI between two levels.  Could easily be compared to Ryan Braun.  Great stick, can’t play defense worth a damn.
