Now that the MLB trade deadline dust has settled, it is time to do another fantasy baseball roster evaluation.

Unless one of your pitchers was demoted to the minors or one of your closers was supplanted by another reliever, you can turn your focus toward your hitting.

The counting stat categories are likely where you will find it easiest to move up, so ensuring that your starting roster are getting full-time at-bats is crucial.

The ones who get the most at-bats are the ones who have the greatest opportunity to contribute.

When you scroll through your roster, sort by at-bats over the past two weeks.

Barring injury, your stud players should be seeing the full complement of at-bats.

Further down, you will start to see a decrease in the number of at-bats taken, which means you have to determine if these players still warrant a roster spot.

If you are streaming players in and out of your starting lineup, then many of them are likely to stay put for you, but if you are noticing that someone has seen their playing time reduced, it’s time to move on and replace them with someone who plays every day.

Once you have determined who should stay and who should go, it is time to look at where you are in each of the statistical categories.

Figure out which ones might be easiest to move up and target those players on your waiver wire.

If you need home runs and RBIs, then look to players like the Angels’ Randal Grichuk and the Marlins’ Josh Bell. Both have landed with new teams, they are rostered in less than 40 percent of fantasy leagues, and both are getting regular at-bats.

Even the Tigers’ Spencer Torkelson and the Marlins’ Bryan De La Cruz fit the bill.

If you need stolen bases and runs scored, Andrew Benintendi, Leody Taveras, Josh Lowe and TJ Friedl should be able to contribute.

None of them are game-breakers, but if you look at their at-bats, they are as close to full-time players as you’re going to find available.

With rostered percentages below 40 percent in most leagues, at least one or two of them should be available.

Don’t stress about mid-range power or no power. As long as they are scoring runs and stealing bases, they’re giving you exactly what you need.

For the next month, targeting players who are seeing as close to full-time at-bats as you can get is imperative. Maintain that focus throughout August.

Then, once September hits and teams begin to call up their youngsters, you do another evaluation and keep cutting the dead weight. Before you know it, you’ll be leading your league in at-bats and you’ll be sitting in the winner’s circle.
