We live in a world where everyone wants things immediately — whether it’s news, Amazon deliveries or photos of a celebrity eating corn. It’s as if Veruca Salt from “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” has taken over the world and has everyone saying, “I want it now!”

Fantasy owners see Todd Frazier batting .162 with two home runs, six RBIs and a .556 OPS, and it’s like a teenager getting their phone taken away in the middle of an emoji-laden conversation with their BFF. They overreact. They freak out! Don’t be that teenager. Stay calm.

Though Frazier’s first-half numbers (.270, 65 homers, 188 RBIs, .839 OPS) are superior to his second-half numbers (.239, 45 homers, 142 RBIs, .714 OPS), Frazier has a tendency to start slow. He carries a career .238 batting average in April, with September/October being the only time he hits worse (.225).

A lot of his early-season trouble also could be him adjusting to switching leagues and playing in a ballpark in which he had played just three times before this season. Sometimes it takes time to get used to the new surroundings. Roto Files believes Frazier will get back to being the player you expected — and a guy you should target in trades with panicking owners.

No matter how bad a player is after 10 games, you must realize there still are 152 more. It always is scary to have a big bat struggle, but it’s not the end of the world — especially not this early. Patience is key. Let others react, let others be impatient. And when they show signs of panic, pounce and take advantage of their stupidity. Here are some other early buy-low candidates:

— Randal Grichuk was one of the most dropped outfielders this week in ESPN leagues. That is insane. Grichuk may strike out more than 30 percent of the time, but it’s way too early to give up on a player who hit 17 homers in 350 plate appearances last season while hitting .276.

— Clay Buchholz (0-1, 10.00 ERA, 6.0 walks per nine innings) does not come out of the gate firing on all cylinders. In his career, the 31-year-old owns a 4.92 ERA in the season’s first month. But, he gets better in May (14-8, 3.98) and June (16-1, 2.45). Buchholz was the fifth-most dropped pitcher this week at ESPN, and now is owned in just 25 percent of leagues (and just under 50 percent at Yahoo). He could get hurt picking up a Tic Tac (translation: He’s injury-prone), but he’s worth being stashed on your bench until he gets going.

— Curtis Granderson’s slow start is not because of a World Series hangover, it’s just Granderson being Granderson. He never has been a quick starter, hitting .236 in April over his 13-year career. Last year, he hit .231 with one homer and six RBIs in the first month. In 2014, he hit an ugly .136. He’s a career .259 hitter who has averaged 26 homers and 72 RBIs per season since 2006 despite these slow starts. He will wake up.

— Before Friday’s games, Miguel Sano was 4-for-28 (.143) with no homers, one RBI and 15 strikeouts (44.1 percent of his at-bats). He is walking in 17 percent of his at-bats, though. There is just too much power (18 homers in 335 plate appearances) to ignore. Roto Files is confident he will get his act together.

— Albert Pujols joined the Angels in 2012, and hit .194 with no homers, five RBIs and 15 strikeouts in his first 27 games. Last year, he hit .203 with three homers in April, finished with 40 homers, 95 RBIs and a .244 average. He’s off to another ugly start this year, hitting .176 with no homers and seven RBIs. If you look at his splits by month for his career, he hits .298 in April, .301 in May, .316 in June, .313 in July and .318 in September/October. He’s not the stud he once was, but he gets stronger as the season rolls on. Perfect buy-low candidate.

— In 41 games after joining the Blue Jays last season, Troy Tulowitzki hit just .239 with five homers and 17 RBIs. His struggles have continued into this season (though, part of that could be lingering effects from being hit in the knuckles of his right hand in late March), as he was 5-for-36 (.139) with two homers, five RBIs and 12 strikeouts. He will turn it around, he was drafted as a top-five shortstop for a reason.

— Freddie Freeman is not a bad player, he’s just on a terrible team. Before Friday night, the Braves had the second-worst batting average in the majors (.196), aided by Freeman’s .080 average after compiling just two hits in his first 25 at-bats. The Braves were the worst offensive team in the league last season, but he hit .276 with 18 homers and 66 RBIs in 118 games. If an owner is willing to ditch him, be happy to take a player who hit .286 and averaged 21 homers, 85 RBIs and a .835 OPS from 2011-15.

Tyler White 1B, Astros

Jumped from 8 percent ownership to 73.8 percent at ESPN after hitting .438 with three homers, 10 RBIs and a 1.299 OPS in his first 10 big league games.

Eugenio Suarez SS, Reds

The second most added player this week, after hitting .353 with four homers, nine RBIs, two stolen bases, 1.127 OPS and nine runs scored in his first nine games.

Jeremy Hazelbaker OF, Cardinals

The 28-year-old has had quite the start, going 13-for-27 (.481) with three homers, seven RBIs, a 1.484 OPS, two stolen bases in his first nine games.

Jeanmar Gomez RP, Phillies

Saves from a Phillies closer? Get ’em while you can. He has four saves in four chances while striking out three and walking one.

Brad Miller SS, Rays

Discarded by more than 22 percent of ESPN owners after going 2-for-26 (.077) with no homers, no RBIs and six strikeouts in his first eight games.

Ketel Marte SS, Mariners

The second most dropped player in ESPN leagues, going 5-for-29 (.172) with one RBI, no stolen bases, one run scored and seven strikeouts in his first eight games.

Mitch Moreland 1B, Rangers

He is hitting .200 (7-for-35) with no homers, two RBIs, a .549 OPS and 15 strikeouts (tied with three others for most in the league). No More, please!

Russell Martin C, Blue Jays

There are ugly starts, then there are these numbers from the 33-year-old backstop: 2-for-29 (.069), no homers, no RBIs, 14 strikeouts and a .194 OPS.

The Phillies’ Vince Velasquez has not allowed a run in 15 innings and has struck out 25. He has also faced the Mets and Padres, who had have 169 K’s between them and were hitting a combined .211 before Friday night. He is available in 25 percent or more of ESPN and Yahoo leagues, and will face the anemic Mets again on Tuesday.

If it wasn’t bad enough that Charlie Blackmon was off to a slow start (.185, three RBIs, one stolen base), he is now on the DL (turf toe). Time to give Gerardo Parra and Ben Paulsen some consideration.

Speaking of the Rockies, let’s check on Trevor Story: Before Friday’s games, he was leading the league in homers (seven) and triples (two), and was second in RBIs (13) and runs scored (11). He was also tied for the most strikeouts (15).

Mat Latos is 2-0 for the first time since 2013 when he went 14-7 with a 3.16 ERA and 187 strikeouts. You know what also happened in 2013? Sweden won the men’s curling championship over Canada. What does this mean? Nothing, the same meaning as Mat Latos going 2-0 against two teams off to terrible offensive starts.
