I know there was a thread earlier in the year about this, but since everyone has had time to have several teams, I thought we could re-visit the idea and see where everyone stands.
I think most of the secrets have been outed so chime in:
Aaron Heilman, Jeff Kent, Tony Clark, and F. Thomas have all been worth the money for me this year.
Worst for me personally was Oswalt, but I know others are happy with him. Santana as well, not really worth the money as far as I am concerned.

Jonny Gomes,Morgan Ensberg,Tadahito Iguchi,Aaron Small and Ryan Freel have all stunk up the joint on a few of my teams. I will never use any of them again. Iguchi is especially awful.
Heilman,Rich Harden,Dan Johnson,Brian Giles,Jake Peavy,Magglio Ordonez(if you ignore the injury risk) and Troy Glaus(if you ignore the strike-outs and low BA) have all done well for me and would be welcome again on any of my future teams.

The good:
C-Snyder, Navarro
1st-Niekro, Gomez
2nd Counsell, Grudzielanek
SS-ARod, Furcal
3rd-Wright, Atkins
LF-K. Johnson, Langerhans
CF- Kotsay, Sullivan
RF-Rios, Mondesi
DH-B. Clark, Ortiz
SP-Towers, Moyer
RP Heilman, Wickman
The bad:
C-Posada, Pudge
1st-Helton, Casey
2nd-Hudson, Kennedy
SS-Wilson, Rollins
3rd-Figgins, Mueller
LF-L. Gonzalez, Crisp
CF-Sizemore, Duffy
RF-Abreu, Ichiro
DH-Lee, Garrabito
SP-Pettite, Santana
RP-Cordero, Jenks
Disclaimer: The good are what I think decent players for the money, though not necessarily on any team, while the bad are players who seem to find their way onto every roster.
Some of these players I have had, others just from observations. From my "NEVER AGAIN" list: Pettite, Wilson, and Helton. My "willing to give him another shot" list: Abreu, Crisp.
I love reading these things, as everyone has different perspectives. There will be just as many horror stories for our "good list" as there will great ones about our "bad list".

IMO, Mark Ellis is the worst card in the set. How anyone can perform that badly given his numbers, I think the SOM folks really messed up on his card.

Ryan Howard. This guy truly sucks despite a card against RHP that should rock. Used him twice (2nd time in a theme league and I can't get rid of him!). Hits around .200 with very poor homer production.
Gomes and freel both did poorly for me.
Some of the "not so usual suspects" who have done well for me - John Rodriguez, barajas, griffey, duffy (despite the injury he is a hitting machine), mauer, utley (unreal numbers of homers). I'm still deciding whether abreu is worth it or not.
Pitching wise I simply haven't been able to figure out this set. Colon has won 22 games in one league and been a total bust in another. Sheets is generally worth the money, but I wouldn't call him a best buy. I'm also liking Santana so far. Heilman is always solid if you can get him. Todd Jones blew like 5 of his first 6 save opportunies and is deep in my doghouse.
And someone tell me that Shelton is a good buy - I REALLY need him to come through on a team for me after I couldn't get clark.
Tony Clark has to be the best card in the deck; I can never get him on my roster and he tears up my teams.

In my book, the most underperforming card belongs to Mark Teixeira. Great "D", but his production rarely measures up.

sorry shelton was terrible for me much worse than ryan howard ever could be. tracy or utley might be better option for you
and teixirea was my mvp on my only championship team had great season and was reason I won in the playoffs
