Hill's looking a lot more like the pitcher he was in 2015/16. Wood's health is always a concern, but he's been great even if he's benefited from some home run luck. Turner won't keep hitting .374, but he's been one of the best hitters in the NL since joining the Dodgers. I also wouldn't expect...
Alonso is a free agent after this season. Can't imagine he'd cost too much. Alonso's numbers are a bit inflated by his absurd May (.303/.425/.803 with 10 of his 21 home runs).
I thought the Rays would do well because of their pitching, but their rotation hasn't been very good. Cobb has a 3.59 ERA, but his strikeout rate is only 15.6% and he isn't getting nearly as many groundballs as he used to. Having the Rays defense behind him helps, but it doesn't seem very...
Not to mention they got two very solid years out of Shields (127 ERA+, 455.2 innings and 7.2 WAR (Fangraphs)). Myers has only played one full season (in fact, it was his only season with more than 90 games) and he had a 113 OPS+. It came along with some good defense and baserunning, but it's...
What if Dylan Cease gets Tommy John surgery or never improves his command and moves to the bullpen? What if Jimenez doesn't pan out? Prospects have question marks too, you know. And it's not like these guys are in AAA either, they're in A ball. They still need to prove themselves at higher levels.
Judge batting .247/.402/.506 with a 143 wRC+ and .326 BABIP over the last 30 days. Probably more reflective of his true talent level. That's still a really good player.
They looked a lot better up until the last week or so. Just seems like they haven't fired on all cylinders. Beninendi and Pedroia are the only ones really doing anything at the plate over the last two weeks. Betts, JBJ and Bogaerts have all been pretty cold lately.
