The season is teetering on the edge. I mean the absolute razor’s edge. The commissioner is rattling his sabers about canceling the season in light of the challenge of Covid-19. But as of now baseball is still being played all over the county, even with some games getting postponed. There will be 7 inning makeup games and more and more chaos everywhere. There are players coming and going from the IL, players treating a positive test as if it’s nothing and others going out on paternity leave. On the positive side there will be playoff chases galore for the whole season with more than half the league going! With all that said we do have a Top 100.
You can find last week’s list here. Here are some of the movers for this week, followed by the list:
Ronald Acuna Jr. – Ok, can you tell me how Covid is going to affect each individual? Freddie Freeman told us he had a 104 temp and was begging not to die. Now he’s back and seems to be his old self. Acuna moves up.
Freddie Freeman – He’s got a .400+ OBP, hitting for power, it’s as if he never went down.
Aaron Judge – Suddenly he appears extremely healthy, banging dingers and looking as imposing as ever in the box. Go figure.
Juan Soto – He laughed at Covid. He’s already just about back and seems ready to go.
Anthony Rendon – Apparently there is such a thing as a minor oblique injury. Already hitting homers now that he’s back.
Mike Trout – There he goes out on paternity leave. Might change his mind about playing again. Risky.
Adam Eaton – This guy is bringing it this year and filling out the stat sheet. Just enough power, stolen base, runs scored, rbi, a lot to appreciate. The defending World Champs are rounding into form.
Matt Olson – He’s making a believer, slowly, out of me. Great power that isn’t diminished at all.
Christian Vazquez – Making his debut on the list. Tends to happen when you have the most home runs as a catcher for the Red Sox to start the season since Carlton Fisk in 1973.
Ryan Braun & Keston Hiura – Both dropping due to the opt out of darkhorse MVP candidate Lorenzo Cain. Christian Yelich don’t need no stinking badges, I mean help, to be #1!
