Oh duh and here's the article pitcherlist.com/top-200-hitter…

That's why I get in early! Less competition for that title here in October. 😅. Also because Nick makes me.

But seriously thanks so much - means a ton coming from someone who I've been reading and learning from for over a decade.

Much appreciated!

Using every bit of that 2nd percentile sprint speed to take off from 1st base and slide into our hearts.

Ward is a must hold in deeper 12s for me, but I'm shallower 12 (like 3 OF), you can see what the wire has.

Gotta leave Elly in. Marsee, in shallower leagues, could be cycled out if there's something that looks helpful on the wire.

We have little reason to believe that Marsee will find that power again and while he will find a way to walk and run, that might be about it.

That's more or less what happened in 2024, too! Out of nowhere just blew up, though it was about a month earlier.

You're really betting on the Pirates to score multiple runs. Gonna want better odds than that.

If this was a spike in K% or bad contact or something, I could see that narrative of "out of rhythm due to no PT" but he's as good as ever at the dish in terms of decisions and contact and raw power.

For what it's worth, this is almost EXACTLY how it all played out last season

Perhaps something is missing here - under the hood, even for this yucky period, the under the hood is AWESOME. Yet the results are lame and it has cost him a lot of PT.

In a 12-teamer, is what he did in April enough to keep holding when the waiver wire has decent options? That's the question.

He has a lot more bad weeks than good ones. Since May 1, so for most of this season, it's a 99 wRC+ hitting .219/.303/.404.

The stuff under the hood is really strong, even during that period. Just the results are bad. Might just be bad luck, but good golly that's a long time to be this unlucky.

But even when he plays the results have been lackluster despite the fantastic quality of his plate appearances. It's bizarre.

This was also my read on Caglianone though I hadn't pulled the charts. Classic power bat with an aggressive approach. He doesn't have to be Juan Soto, but he'll need to lay off the bad stuff to move forward.

It's very, very good. I rank him as the 7th best hitter for fantasy.
