David Peralta - The standard September caveat of "make sure he's in the lineup" applies, but I like Peralta very much against Christian Bergman tomorrow. Peralta is priced at $3600 and is hitting 318/375/541 against RHP this year. I also...

Justin Verlander - Verlander had a solid outing against the White Sox Wednesday, holding them to 5 hits and 3 runs over 7 innings to pick up his 10th QS in his last 12 outings. More importantly perhaps, he fanned...

Starlin Castro - Castro remains on fire, adding to a September hard contact rate of 39% with a pair of doubles in the 9-5 win over the Brewers. Since resuming "most of the time" status on 8/24, Castro is 30-73...

Logan Forsythe - Forsythe doubled and homered on Sunday, giving him 31 and 17 respectively on the year. This is pretty clearly a career year for Forsythe, who is pretty much maxed out at this level of power if you...

Anthony DeSclafani - DeSclafani has quietly been improving since the beginning of August, maintaining an ERA in the high 3.00's while cutting the walks and increasing the K totals. His strong outing Monday against the Pirates (7 1/3 IP, 1...

Eduardo Escobar - Escobar continued his hot hitting Wednesday, picking up a single and a walk while scoring a run for the 11th straight game. He's really blossomed playing every day, hitting 295/375/577 over the month of August and scoring...

Julio Teheran - Teheran only allowed four hits and a walk (and three ER) over 7 1/3 innings Monday to tally his 5th straight QS, striking out 5 and picking up his 9th win of the year. It's been a...

Jonathan Schoop - Schoop hit his 9th homer of the year against Noah Syndergaard, boosting his line to 301/335/529 through 153 ABs this year. People need to get on the bandwagon here, as 2B with 25-30 HR power do not...

Jonathan Gray - Gray was excellent on Monday, allowing a solo homer to Travis D'Arnaud and a couple of walks over six innings, striking out 5 Mets. He didn't get the win due to some very questionable managing from Walt...

Jonathan Schoop - Schoop was 1-3 with a 2B and a HBP on Wednesday, and he's hit in 7 of his last 8 to bring his line up to 299/336/551 for the year. His power numbers are extremely impressive, as...

Gerardo Parra - Parra came into Monday's game with a line of 408/469/704 for the month of July, and he managed a 1-2 line with two walks against Chris Heston and the Giants Monday night. Parra isn't really doing a...

Rougned Odor - I'm having a tough time containing my excitement about this kid lately, and another 3-4 day (single, triple, homer, walk) Wednesday isn't helping things any. Odor is now 40-108 (.370) with 7 2B, 4 3B, 5 HR,...

Tom Milone - Milone tossed his sixth straight QS Wednesday, holding the O's to 1 run on 5 hits over 7 innings, walking 2 and fanning 5 to move to 5-1 on the year. Sure, his peripherals look pretty ugly...

James Shields - Shields managed a QS Wednesday against the Mariners, just his second in the last 5 starts, with a 6 2/3 IP, 2 ER outing in which he walked 4 and fanned 7. Shields is generating swinging strikes...

Eugenio Suarez - Suarez was 3-5 with 3 RBIs, a 2B, and 2 SBs on Monday in the 11-7 win over the Twins. He's now hitting 316/361/421 on the year, and as long as the defensive woes (5 errors over...

Kendall Graveman - Graveman is one out against the Yanks away from posting 7 straight quality starts since his return from the minors after a 7 IP, 2 ER outing against Texas on Wednesday. If you're looking at his season...

Josh Reddick - I guess we should finally discuss Josh Reddick, huh? Reddick is exhibiting a severe increase in plate discipline this season by any measure (chase rate, swinging strike%, contact rate, swing%, BB rate, K rate), and it's coincided...

David Peralta - Peralta continued his assault on RHP Wednesday, going 2-5 with a double against the Braves in a 9-8 loss. He's hitting 282/353/534 against righties and is ranked #54 among OF despite his part-time play, yet he's still...

Billy Burns - Burns had two singles, a homer, and a steal in the 7-2 victory over the A's on Sunday, and he's now hitting 309/356/395 through his first 81 ABs of the year. Burns has the LD rate to...

Lucas Duda - Duda is certainly a changed hitter this year, combating the ever-present shift with a more level, spray-hitter sort of a swing than we've seen from him in the past. Unsurprisingly, due to the combination of a change...

Melky Cabrera - Another 0-5 on Sunday dropped Cabrera to 8-34 with 1 HR for the month of May, dragging his season line down to 264/314/309. That's a putrid performance from a LF, particularly from one that is a notorious...

Andrelton Simmons - Simmons had a pretty enjoyable series against the Phils, going 6-11 with a double, triple, and a homer while walking twice. He's now hit in 6 straight, picking up XBH in 4 of those contests. Looking at...

Miguel Montero - Montero has been killing it since Tax Day, hitting in 10 straight starts after a 2-4 on Monday night. He's now hitting 298/373/491 despite a BABIP of .300 and a LD rate of 27.9%, and he's posting...

Nick Martinez - Martinez certainly pitched well enough to move to 3-0 on Sunday with 6 more shutout innings, but the bullpen (and Mike Trout) kept him from the victory. I was prepared to ignore Martinez entirely, assuming that no...

Rene Rivera - I feel like I left a bit unsaid a few weeks ago regarding Rivera, whose 318 ABs last season were his highest total since 2007. Rivera was pushed to the majors (and into a backup role) right...

Ian Desmond is definitely a position where you can get a leg up on your competition these days, because if you include Hanley Ramirez, there are still only 4 guys that clearly should be off the board in the first...

Doug Fister - Fister is a major concern for me heading into 2015 after a superficially excellent 2014 (16-6, 2.41 ERA, 1.08 WHIP). Fister was able to succeed last year despite precipitous declines in swinging strike%, GB rate, and velocity...

Gio Gonzalez - Surprisingly, Gonzalez has had the worst performance of the Nationals' primary rotation members this season, going 9-10 with a 3.74 ERA over 151 2/3 IP. I'm hoping it depresses his value a bit for 2015, because he...

Alex Colome - It's hard to judge a guy on a start against the punchless Yanks right now, but Colome was rather efficient through 6 2/3 on Monday, scattering 6 hits and a walk while striking out 4. The 1...

Jeff Locke - Locke has fit the bill of a spot starter pretty well for most of this year, and he continued that trend on Monday with a 7 IP, 1 ER performance against the Phillies. Locke allowed just 3...

Tanner Roark - I like Tanner Roark. I think he can be a solid back-end starter due primarily to his excellent control and one other thing......his schedule. Roark's peripherals have actually gotten worse across the board in the second half,...

Bud Norris - Norris pitched very well on Monday, holding the White Sox to 2 runs on 3 hits over 7 innings of work, striking out 5 without walking a batter. Norris has improved his control, GB rate, and velocity...

David Peralta - Through 8 August starts, Peralta has 5 multi-hit games to go along with 3 2Bs, a 3B, 2 HRs, and 2 SBs. He's also picked up 6 R and 10 RBI and has continued to show a...

Jose Ramirez - Ramirez looks like he's going to be the starting SS for the Indians down the stretch, as Mike Aviles has only spelled him once since the Cabrera deal. Ramirez is a diminuitive switch hitter with a bit...

Enrique Hernandez - Hernandez is a pretty interesting case, as he kind of slipped off the radar for a few years after being drafted in the 6th round (with a $150K bonus) of the 2009 draft out of the American...

Jeff Locke - After an 8 inning, 3 hit, 2 run (1 earned) performance against the Phils Sunday, Jeff Locke has now rattled off 6 straight quality starts since returning from AAA. Most remember last year's flukily good first half...
