10 Watchlist Guys: Vol. 13
Most platforms have a feature where you can click something by the player’s name to put them on a virtual watchlist. It is smart to use this feature before the season starts because once it starts you be sorting by stats and you could miss out on someone you really want about to get a new role because you sorted by PA and he just didn’t show very high.
Ross Stripling has played himself into an all formats arm with a 2.29 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in his last 35.3 innings with 36 strikeouts.
SHALLOW LEAGUES (mixed leagues – 10 or fewer teams)
Willy Adames | SS, MIL
By now you have probably heard about Adames’ massive home/road split with Tampa Bay and how badly he needed to get out of that situation. He hit .217/.275/.341 in 622 PA at the Trop while hitting .296/.366/.501 on the road in 694 PA. In his short sample with the Brewers, he has already cut his strikeout rate by 11 points to 25% while pushing his wRC+ from 75 to 119. If he continues to rake, he could move up the lineup as well.
