We’ve officially passed the halfway point of the baseball season. Whether you want to count games, celebrate the 4th of July, or use the All-Star Game as your barometer, the midpoint is here. It would be easy to assume that performances so far will be clear predictors of what’s to come but wise managers know better. There’s still plenty of work to do. While the rest of the country is arguing over ketchup vs. mustard, we’re focused on something far more important: figuring out whether that guy hitting .420 over the last two weeks is legit or just riding a heater. In this week’s hitter profiles, we’re diving into some names who are widely available in leagues and have been swinging hot bats lately. It’s time to break down what’s fueling these surges and, with all the overreaction we can muster, decide who’s worth buying and who’s better left on waivers. It’s been a while, but it’s time for another round of Buy or Sell in our hitter profiles.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
