2.We joked when Cal Quantrill got traded to the Rockies last November, but he’s getting the last laugh. His season looks a lot like his breakout season in 2022. He’s posting a 3.59 ERA, but not striking out a ton (about seven per nine) with three wins. He’s even pitching a sub 4.00 ERA in four starts at home.
a.Should I be excited about this or is this a mirage?
b.He should get traded at the deadline, but with the Rockies do it?
3.Josh Hader has settled down and has pitched much better of late. Should we look at him as a Top 3 closer again?
4.I actually liked Nick Gonzales entering this season and he made my target list for Draft and Hold Leagues. I’m sure people thought I was crazy, but he’s been ok. He looks like he’s turning back into the player that he was in his first two years of college – a contact hitter with doubles power and 10 to 12 home run pop. Your thoughts?
5.Is there any reason to expect Eloy Jimenez to play more than 100 games a year? He’s done 120 for two seasons, 55 and 84, and is hurt again. Do you just avoid rostering these injured-riddled players?
6.Xander Boegarts fractured his shoulder and hits the IL for a while. I’m assuming Arraez moves to second. Who gets his playing time?
7.Julio Rodriguez still hits the ball hard (92.6 MPH exit velo) and is still in the 98th percentile in speed, but he’s striking out 28% of the time and walking less than 6% of the time – both career worst. His quality of contact (squared-up balls) is in the bottom 20% of the league. How concerned should fantasy managers be?
8.One question after today’s games…
9.What hitter are you targeting this weekend?
10.What pitcher are you targeting this weekend?
