#Buy trade mania 2 upgrade

Let’s not forget Alex Bregman, whose guts Statcast has hated for years, but as a righty pull flyball hitter he’s managed to beat the system by flicking the ball over the short fence. And too many people are sleeping on that. But this is probably good news for Mancini, who will be moving from a park that has turned into one of the pitcher-friendliest to one that turned into one of the hitter-friendliest. The Orioles made a difficult but probably practical move trading the captain of their surprisingly decent club, although for a rather underwhelming haul.

#Buy trade mania 2 upgrade

This bird has decided to upgrade and fly to outer space. Just last week I wrote him as a sell, but with his new situation, I’m far less Mancinical. In all formats, get your pick-axe and race to the gold Rutsch. I think he’s a top-5 catcher going forward and in redrafts for trades, while it’s too late to buy low, I strongly suggest buying medium. With his BB/K over the past two weeks a healthy 8/7, he should continue to draw walks and cut the K rate while being one of the few catchers hitting in the heart of the (albeit depleted) lineup. The biggest element of his value at the moment is his potential for OBP, as he’s looking an awful lot like the good version of Yasmani Grandal at the moment, which means a top catcher in the game. Sure, his other power metrics like his 8% Barrel% and 44% HardHit% aren’t numbers that jump off the page, but he’s also making a ton of adjustments and I think more power will come, even if neutered a bit by the home park. His 111 mph max eV suggests easy 20+ HR upside, with a healthy 15-degree launch angle. Now if he was hitting for Keibert-level pop (this year’s version anyway) that would suffice, but he’s displayed a good basis for power. I also like his 83% Contact%, which gives him an elite 7% Swinging Strike%. His 24% O-Swing% is great, but what I love more is his 70% Z-Swing%, meaning he has a naturally good eye and isn’t passive on good pitches. Even from the beginning, I noticed that despite the lousy surface stats, he had displayed a good combination of plate discipline, contact rate, and raw power. 340/.452/.540 with a homer in 50 AB over the last 3 weeks. His rough start had weighed down his batting average but now he’s hitting. On to the list!Ĭontrary to our initial glance, Rutschman not doing Badley. But this is a great time to be active as there is suddenly a new influx of players for the first time in awhile, especially if you’re playing in an only league. There’s a lot of value in reading the roster tea leaves right, but I’m not a wizard so I’m going to incorporate it only where it’s relevant. Welcome back to Buy & Sell, where’s this week’s theme is Post-Trade Deadline Hangover! It’s still hard to sort out a lot of questions, like why the Cubs and Guardians didn’t trade anyone, why the Red Sox sold a good player and bought bad ones, and why the Rockies.
