Please see our player page for Jac Caglianone to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.

With the All-Star break this week, I figured now was a good time to look back at the first half of the season and see what I got right and what I got wrong when it comes to who is and isn’t an up-and-coming dynasty player.

To be honest, I still feel pretty good about the majority of the players I have talked about the last three and half months. But a few players have not lived up to the expectations I had for them entering the season or for what I expected out of them the rest of this year. Are these players going to rebound, or should I admit that I was just flat out wrong? Guess you will have to read and find out.

I will admit, this is a bit of a long read, but looking back on the good and the bad should be a slow journey. So go grab a cold beverage and hearty snack and then settle in.

Did you know that LHPs on average hold hitters to a below average wRC+ while RHPs allow above average offense. Without factoring in price or ownership, rostering left handed starters would be a better statistical play over time. Most of the lefties today are priced up, but Matthew Liberatore is less than 8k and faces […]

I guess all of the GMs in Major League Baseball got together and decided that this would be a good week to start calling up some of their top prospects.

The Astros added Jacob Melton to their roster and the White Sox have decided Kyle Teel should actually stop wasting his talent in Triple-A and instead can start wasting it on a Chicago team that is on pace to lose 111 games (but at least that is better than the 121 they lost last year!)

Then there is Jac Caglianone. Drafted with the sixth overall pick last July, the Royals recalled him from the minors earlier this week and instantly slotted him into the lineup.

The move makes a ton of sense as the Royals have the fourth fewest runs scored in the majors, with only the juggernaut teams of Texas, Pittsburgh and Colorado scoring fewer runs. The hope is for Caglianone to provide an instant spark to the offense.

Let’s dive in and see why the Royals think this will happen.

Lotta movement to cover this week. The Royals lineup looks pretty different these days with Jac Caglianone beefing up the middle. Vinnie P is heating up with the weather, posting a 167 wRC+ over his last 16 games. Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. are both in rhythm right now, so this team could go on a nice summer run. They’re 32-and-29 despite scoring six fewer runs than the Chicago White Sox this season.

Didja know Ronny Mauricio‘s full name was Ronny Bobby Ricky And Mauricio? If you know, you know, which is pretty self-explanatory. Hey, Biggie, if you don’t know, you don’t know. Biggie Smalls, Mr. Exposition! If Notorious B.I.G. lived, I’m sure he would’ve had an incredibly long and illustrious career, but also, I don’t know, I’m […]
