Starting off this week’s hitter profiles, we have to visit one of the more exciting hitters of the last few weeks in Luis Arraez. He may be the truest definition of a better real life player than fantasy player. Hitting .402 heading into games on Saturday, he is otherwise average or downright terrible in every other rotisserie category. We are talking Joey Gallo with home runs or Scott Podsednik with steals. These types of guys hurt a balanced fantasy attack but are ideal trade targets for the stretch if you need a single category to push you over the top. Arraez’ s profile under the covers shows some significant luck and his lowest hard hit rate in five years. If there was ever a guy to sell, this would be it and hopefully there is a team in your league that is simply a boost in batting average away from a stretch run. Like Arraez, this week we will focus on recent hot streaks and assess their viability for the rest of the season. With the London Series underway, we will change things up from our traditional Buy or Sell to an England version with Aye or Na!
Please, blog, may I have some more?
