JD on Chase DeLauter (Sep 11, 2026): The only the thing standing in the way of this ranking being not aggressive enough for Chase DeLauter is his injury concerns. Just in the last month alone he has had a hamstring issue and a wrist issue pop up that caused him to miss multiple games (but not go on the IL). Both seem like anomalies but this was the concern with him coming up through the minors as he never had a full season due to various injuries. DeLauter is one of the handful of guys that I think realistically can hit 300 in a given year in a very sustainable way while not sacrificing his power potential. A full season for him looks like a .300 / 25HR / 15 SB in a premium lineup position, which is easily a top 25 player. I imagine I will be even higher on him heading into 2027 when I do my offseason deep dive. Buy wherever you can.
JD on Seiya Suzuki (Jul 3, 2026): Seiya has been white hot over the last 30 days and somehow has not been the best offensive performer on his team (thanks PCA). Between PCA, Suzuki, and Dansby, Chicago have three of the top five offensive players over the last month and still only are only 18-12 in their last 30? Help that make sense for me. Back to Seiya, I exercised a little bit of caution with his ranking after his injury to start the year but he clearly has righted the ship. Even with a little bit of regression, he's still going to be a terrific dynasty asset for the remainder of the year. He's a great target for a win-now team if he is available.
