Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Ben Rice. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Rice #15 and McGonigle #16, but the expert consensus has McGonigle ahead (#15 to #27). The community leans Rice, FRV 77.1 to 72.4. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Rice ahead, #11 to #56, and the rest-of-season engine agrees ($28 and $11).
JD on Ben Rice (Aug 3, 2026): Big news for Ben Rice owners, word is that the Yankees will platoon Golschimdt and Garcia at 1B with Rice splitting time between DH and C. If Rice is able to get 5 starts through the end of the season at catcher, he will be eligible for all of 2027 on Yahoo, and if he van get to 20 starts (which I think is pretty unlikely) he will be universally eligible. If he does end up getting universal catcher eligibility, he will be that much more valuable heading into next season, potentially pushing the top 10 and the very clear #1 overall catcher.
JD on Kevin McGonigle (Jun 10, 2026): Think about a player who has 3 HRs in 237 PA but has more walks than strikeouts, a .400 on-base percentage, and is putting up a .374 xwOBA at 21 years old - how are you evaluating that player? I think I'm more bullish on McGonigle just because of how impressed I've been with his batted ball profile and maybe the home runs are going to come down the line rather than this year. I think this is one of those situations where everyone expected so much from him that there is some disappointment despite some really impressive underlying metrics. His 30-home-run years may not come for a couple of years but you're going to get some really great stats all around while waiting for the power to mature.
