JD on Braxton Ashcraft (Jul 28, 2026): How the heck did Ashcraft slip under the radar for me? I watched a couple of the starts this year in man was he impressive April / May of this year. It does look like the wheels are coming off a bit in July with a 7.78 ERA across four starts but I'm willing to chalk that up to him just being a bit tired and not used to a full big league season under his belt. I still think long term he will be a pretty valuable starting pitcher (think top 50 SP) but don't expect a ton from him the rest of the way, especially if the underlying velo deteriorates and Pirates elect to shut him down to not risk him for future years.
JD on Cade Cavalli (Jun 29, 2026): Feel like Cade Cavalli is a right-handed Mackenzie Gore, so why am I so much lower on him than I am on Gore? I don't really have a good reason although for both of them I feel like eventually something is going to click and they're going to go from a low 4 ERA to a low 3 ERA in the blink of an eye. Caballero is striking out more than a guy per inning and he's entrenched in the Nationals rotation, so he's a good piece to have in deeper leagues. Unfortunately, there's just not a spot for him in shallower lakes because he is so hit or miss on a game-to-game basis.
