Episode notes
Mackenzie Gore's Rollercoaster Season
- Mackenzie Gore has shown a pattern of extreme performance swings, being either amazing or terrible with no middle ground.
- Despite recent struggles and a 4.20 ERA, he has top 15 talent and potential to turn it around like last season.
J.J. Bleday's Potential Breakout
- J.J. Bleday's recent power surge after minor league success could signal a late season breakout.
- His hot hitting is rare for him after demotions, suggesting something may have clicked this time.
Avoid Starting Lawrence Butler
- Lawrence Butler's poor performance and rising strikeout rate warrant dropping him from starting roles.
- He should be rostered only in 5 outfielder leagues and even then rated as a bench option.
