Aug. 25 Notes
– Dropping off the list: Austin Riley (104th), Marcus Semien (142nd), Adley Rutschman (160th), Evan Carter (220th), Landen Roupp (242nd), Michael Conforto (249th), Jacob López (251st), Matt Wallner (258th), Nolan Schanuel (259th), Joe Boyle (263rd), Matt McLain (271st), Francsico Alvarez (277th), Jordan Walker (288th), Jake Burger (290th), Eric Lauer (296th)
– I considered a change at the top this week, given that Aaron Judge hasn’t been quite his usual self since returning from his elbow injury. However, he seems mostly recovered now; his first 10 days back were bad, but he’s sporting a .436 xwOBA in his last 50 plate appearances.
– It’s Crap on Anthony Volpe Week, as if the Yankees have three better shortstops they could have been playing all along. Volpe’s defensive regression is a serious long-term concern and he definitely hasn’t progressed as hoped offensively, but he’s certainly had some bad luck this season and the idea that he’s been a disaster is overblown. He has the very worst BABIP (.238) among qualified hitters even though his exit velocity numbers are the best of his career (he has a 10% barrel rate and a 43% hard-hit rate). He’s on pace to finish with 22 homers and 81 RBI in spite of his struggles, and while had that odd rash of caught stealings early on, he’s 7-for7 in that department the last two months. As ugly as these last two weeks have been, he’s still a perfectly reasonable fantasy option as long as the Yankees stick with him, which they probably will after a two-day break.
– Since returning from his hamstring strain, Jordan Lawlar is hitting .306/.359/.500 with two steals in eight games for Triple-A Reno. He should be up Sept. 1 to play regularly for the Diamondbacks for the rest of the season. He’s at No. 219 right now, and he’ll jump into the 160-180 range once he gets the call.
– His xwOBA was already trending up, but I felt I had to drop Mark Vientos from the rankings entirely last week after he started just one of six games from Aug. 10-16. Now, of course, he’s started nine in a row and hit three homers in two games over the weekend. He’s a mixed-league guy while playing regularly.
– Mets prospect Jonah Tong debuts at No. 282 after again pitching scoreless ball in his second Triple-A start Saturday. He’s fanned 17 in 11 2/3 shutout innings since moving up from Double-A, where he had a 1.59 ERA and a 162/44 K/BB in 102 innings. It’s getting pretty easy to imagine the Mets soon squeezing him into a six-man rotation.
