    12-TEAM LEAGUES (FANTRAX ROSTER%)

    Honorable mentions – I will discuss the players rostered between 50-60% as some of these player’s roster% may have gone up over the week due to daily change leagues but could still be there for you FAAB runs.

    3B, OF – Noelvi Marte – CIN – 69% – He forced his way back on to the big league club by demolishing AAA pitching to the tune of a .369/.409/.575 slash, hitting eight homers in 176 PA and swiping nine bags. He still had a lower-than-you’d-like 48% ground ball rate and he still swung outside the zone at a 37.0% clip. I’m not sure how much confidence I have that he will be a good MLB hitter as he may just be a Quad-A dude. So don’t go crazy with the FAAB. BID – 3-8%

    2B, 3B, OF – Zac Gelof – 62% – His roster% has actually dropped lately and I’m not sure why. It has been a bit of a power outage but the batting average in .311 in his last 49 PA and if you expand the sample he does have four homers and four steals in his last 113 PA with a .267/.319/.429 slash with a 9.1% barrel rate and 40.3% hard-hit. That position flex makes him a solid bench piece. BID – 3-6%

    C – Keibert Ruiz – WSN – 61% – I had him on here last week and he his .300 to to keep his streak going. A .382/.397/.727 slash with four homers and 17 RBI in his last 58 plate appearances. Now will the Nats wake up and start playing him more and Drew Millas less? He deserves to be getting the lionshare of time at catcher now. BID – 2-3%

    1B, 2B – Luis Garcia Jr. – WSN – 61% – Another repeat name as he also remains at 42% on Yahoo. He his three more homers last week with 10 RBI. He has a 92.6 MPH avgEV and 9.2% barrel rate in his last 91 plate appearances. BID – 4-8%

    3B – Royce Lewis – MIN – 60% – 10 homers in 14 games will raise eyebrows for sure. He got his K% and hit tool metrics under control, but like Marte, this could just mean Lewis is a Quad-A dude. But I like Lewis a bit more than Marte given he still had an 11.8% barrel rate in the bigs before the demotion with a solid bat speed at 73.6 MPH with a 39.2% FastSw%. He just has to get that hit tool back to where we have seen it from him before. And he will see starts at first and second so he will add some eligibility along the way. BID – 5-10%

    C – Francisco Alvarez – NYM – 59% – He is healing way faster than originally thought and is already on his rehab assignment. He was performing like a 12-team, one-catcher hitter before going down with four homers and a .241 average and those numbers were bound to improve with a 16.1% barrel rate and 90.2 MPH avgEV. If you are streaming your catcher spot, he can provide some stability. BID – 2-3%

    OF – Spencer Jones – NYY – 59% – He is worth a cheap flyer given his immense power and speed upside as he will get to play after the Yanks lost Aaron Judge, but a 32.4% AAA K% and a 19.8 AAA SwStr% gives him a floor that is way too big to allow me to trust him too much. I really wished they’d just play Caballero in right and let Volpe play short. Sigh. BID – 1-2%, more in deeper formats.

    SS – J.P. Crawford – SEA – 58% – Leading off as a solid OBP/BA  dude made Crawford a solid deep league short stop but hitting 10 homers in 233 plate appearances has him on 12-team radars. He has a career-best 9.3% barrel rate that plays up because of a great hit tool. Who knows if this powier will continue and keep an eye on his recovery from a HBP on Friday, but scoop him up while he is producing. BID – 2-3%

    P – Matthew Liberatore – STL – 57% – He gets the Twins next week with their underwhelming 95 wRC+ as a team at home and LIberatore has proven to be an effective arm against weaker offenses. CHEAP STREAM, BABY! Bid  – 2-3%

    P – Christian Scott – NYM – 57% – This might be last call on Scott, who I had pegged since his call up as an add. His first start was… bad. But in the seven starts since he owns a 2.34 ERA (2.65 FIP), 27.4% K% and 1.21 WHIP. The SIERA is a solid 3.61 as well. Add on the soft contact he induces (3.4% barrel, 32.6% hard-hit) and we have as solid ROS arm. BID – 5-10%

    1B, 2B, OF – Kody Clemens – MIN – 42% – Moving him up here and shame on me for overlooking Clemens for this piece. No longer. Over his last 102 plate appearances he is slashing .281/.317/.563. On the year he has hit eight homers in 199 PA with a 14.2% barrel rate, 92.6 MPH avgEV and a 76.5% contact%. If you look at these metrics from last  year’s season that saw him hit 19 homers in less than 400 PA, you’d see very similar metrics then. So this probably isn’t a fluke. BID – 5-10%
