JD on Ceddanne Rafaela (Jul 28, 2026): Rafaela is the polar opposite of Lars Nootbar, who is a Savant darling but questionable from a fantasy value perspective. Refaela has HORRIBLE Statcast metrics and has never demonstrated that he should be having success at the Major League level. However he is consistently a very valuable player in fantasy baseball. .281 wxOBA 86.5 Avg EV .242 xBA He moved up pretty considerably in my list because he's pacing for close to a 20/20 season and kept that pace last year as well. You can overcome a lot of words when you're in a good lineup with a premium spot in the lineup and are hitting home runs and stealing bases. Score one for the eye test.
