Ryon Healy couldn't have come at a better time for the A's. Their corner infidels were about as weaksauce as they come. Mark Canha? More like Can't-hit. Andrew Lambo? More like 'that Lambo is bahhhd.' Yonder Alonso? More like 'over Yonder' as in everyone's over him in value. Though, looking at Healy's minor league numbers, he doesn't look much better. However, Josh Donaldson wasn't much to look at in the A's minor league system either. It wasn't until he came up and the A's adjusted his swing to get more lift than a Beverly Hills surgeon. Not saying in 2017, Healy will be Donaldson, but we shouldn't write him off as a 15-homer hitter either, as his minor league numbers may indicate. Why didn't the A's give Canha, Lambo, Alonso and others the patented lift? An anecdote to illustrate: for a few months, I wore shoe heels like Tom Cruise to give myself an extra two inches. It was impossible to tell I had them in, they elongated me! I looked like Fred Astaire (as old people told me)! But after a few months, I got bunions the size of pearl onions and couldn't walk. I had to stop with the lift because it wasn't natural and making things worse. Maybe those other players couldn't do the lift because it didn't feel natural to them. Of course, none of this matters for this year. I'd grab Healy for the last ten days. Doode’s fahrenhot! Doode is straight butter that a professional hibachi chef puts on a sizzling lobster tail! Doode’s Kurt Russell in Backdraft! Healy is a social worker at a female prison that married a Russian mail-order bride! Wait, that last one is a plot point for a Netflix show. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
