@EricCross04 Fair enough, I’d have him in that 8-12 range.

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

@MojoMariner Is Julio injured?

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

@mje7339 He’s definitely better in daily lineups if you can avoid the lefties, but there’s some bad luck there too.

In the same time period his xStats vs only LHP are:

.256xBA/.527xSLG 16% BRL

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

In April, Oneil Cruz was struggling coming back from a serious ankle injury.

Since then, while the surface level stats have lagged, the underlying tell a different story.

Since 5/1 in 203PA:

.292xBA (22nd) /.583xSLG (9th) with a 23.6% BRL (2nd).

Buy low while you still can.

Prior to a swing change last year,
Deyvison De Los Santos hit .206 with a .576OPS in AA.

Since the swing change (7/14/2023) he’s gone .335/.372/.641 for a 1.013 OPS with 39HR 114RBI 98R 129K in 549PA across AA and AAA.

He just turned 21 ten days ago.

Looks like Elly is on his way to debut in Boston.

[RedsCards @RedsCardss]

Another Elly De La Cruz story post on Instagram, now with a video of Jimmy Butler saying Boston I’m on the way. Is this Elly saying he is on his way to Boston? 👀👀

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

From the official Guardians website, Bibee will make his debut today at 1:10pm vs Colorado.

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

@jaroche6 I love Bibee too. Hoping he gets his turn for Cleveland next week

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

@jaroche6 Agree to disagree, when breaking long standing K records while pitching in very hitter friendly environments I think it’s something to pay attention to. Hope he gets the call soon. Just curious which minor league arm are you highest on to make an MLB impact in 2023?

[Fantasy Baseball Musings @MusingsFantasy]

@jaroche6 By definition, if the team has an OPS of .830 (after last night) there are not a lot of arms putting up good numbers against them.

@FSchaeffer06 @MLBMetrics Yankees lose Judge and Benintendi and don’t sign any top free agents?
