JD on Carson Benge (Oct 20, 2026): Benge really snuck up on me in the second half of the year and he looks like he's going to be a DUDE. He really flourished after the All-Star break, slashing .311/.375/.475 and crushing 9 HR across 242 at-bats. It seemed like he only got more comfortable as the season went on, and I'm sure he was as bummed as anyone to see the season end as he was picking up steam. There's a little bit of concern for some batting average regression as his BABIP was pretty high at .341, but I think he is finding his power swing and any batting average dip in 2027 should coincide with a power increase. Look for an opportunity to buy low on him at the end April next year, as he started off the season cold in 2026 and sophomore slump whispers might open the buy window. I think Benge is going to be a fixture in the Mets lineup for a long time to come, and this is a shame: the team around him doesn't inspire a lot of hope for the next couple of years.
JD on Konnor Griffin (Oct 20, 2026): Based on this ranking, I will never own Konnor Griffin in any dynasty leagues for the foreseeable future, and I think I am okay with that. Based on what I have seen, I think we should rank him like he is a premier prospect a la Jesus Made or Leo DeVries, rather than a high-end prospect who has already debuted and had success at the major league level, a la Kevin McGonigle. The average exit velocity is probably the most concerning piece for me, although a better September (88.8 mph) really gave me hope that he was just getting his feet under him before his injury (rather than actually being a sub-87 mph EV player). For reference some other players in the 87 mph EV range for 2026 are Xavier Edwards, David Hamilton, and Jackson Holliday (ouch), Jake Cronenworth and Ozzie Albies. I bring this up not to try to pile on too hard on Konnor Griffin, but more so that he is far from the sure thing that people are treating him as. I really would like to see more production at the big league level before I really move him up my rankings. At the end of the day, if I was ranking him as a prospect, he would still be the number one overall prospect on this list. I think that is more than fair for the type of performance he has put up so far.
