Mike Trout, OF, LAA Trout hit his second and third homers of the season on Monday evening in Miami. All of his homers have been solo shots, and he hasn't driven in anyone else besides himself, which seems par for...

Aaron Judge (OF - NYY) - I think that there might be some value on Aaron Judge in 2024 drafts. People are going to look at another year with over 50 missed games and, unfairly in my mind, reassert the...

George Springer (OF-TOR) went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer on Sunday, helping the Blue Jays beat the Rays 9-5. Springer raced around the bases in the second inning (during his second at-bat of the game) for an inside-the-park home run,...

Aaron Judge- OF- NYY- Stats- Injuries have greatly impacted Judge in 2023. His slash line of .259/.394/.588 with 32 homers in 406 PAs are very good but not up to the standard he set in 2022 of .311/.425/.686 with 62...

Lars Nootbaar- OF- STL- Stats- Nootbaar went 0-for-1 yesterday but drew 3 walks. It gives him a BB% of 14.8% for the season. Nootbaar's slash line is .273/.388/.443 so his OBP and OPS are helpful in leagues that count those....
