He's just a reliever, but I feel he's the only one worth mentioning that hasn't gotten a lot of press.

Daniel Winkler.

Our setup man. He's the guy that broke his elbow pitching a couple years ago. He's been a rather dominant setup man.

I'm honestly surprised Max Muncy has even 1 homerun, let alone 13 so far. I questioned Roberts moving Bellinger off 1st base against RHP for him, but he's producing. In about 100 games with Oakland spread across 2015 and 2016 he only hit 5. He didn't play at all in 2017.

Another positive is people are calling him Mad Max, and I love those movies.

Eduardo Rodriguez doesn't seem to get much attention, but he could be a good mid-rotation starter. Even last year's numbers are a bit misleading, as he struggled with his mechanics after coming off an injury. However, he was very good in the 2nd half after getting recalled from AAA.

Only player for the Rockies that could fit this list is Adam Ottavino. He has been awesome this year, I am hoping it is not just an outlier season though. I just don't think an ERA+ of 525 is sustainable

I remember Arthur Rhodes had a 0.28 ERA through late June 2010. I forgot what his ERA+ was, but I think it was a hair under 1000.

Ottavino is having a pretty great season though. A 1.74 FIP and 2.01 xFIP are pretty amazing for a Coors reliever.

Marwin Gonzalez. "My Favorite Marwin" as Astros fans call him.

Marwin Gonzalez, LF, Houston Astros
Guy plays everywhere but pitcher and catcher. He is the ultimate utility man for Houston that would be an everyday starter on all but a handful of clubs. Last year he had 23 HRs & 90 RBIs in 455 ABs with a .303 BA. He always seemed to come up with the clutch hit.
