JD on Fernando Tatis Jr. (Sep 24, 2026): My gut wants me to rank FTJ much lower than 9th, but as I dove into the data, my brain told me I couldn't rank him lower than this. Outside of PCA he has been the second most valuable player in the second half of 2026. In some ways he's been even more valuable than PCA, with a higher xwOBA and a K% of only 15%. He also has everything you'd expect to see from a player who would be in the top 10 dynasty assets from an underlying metrics perspective. The Savant page is glowing red and things have generally improved, most notably, for me, the K rate, which has come down from nearly 30% in his rookie year to 18.6% this year and 18.7% in 2025, while still maintaining elite exit velocity numbers. So why is my gut telling me not to rank him 9th? I feel like he is one of the most volatile players inter-season in the top 10 and is not as young as some of the guys above him on this list. I was fully ready to bury him in my rankings and more or less did back in June when I had him ranked 50th overall and thought he was a shell of his former self. I'm also concerned his launch angle issues could reemerge and take his 25-homer seasons below 20 as his speed starts to decline and he becomes more like Xander Bogaerts' profile. In an ideal world, he begins selling out for more power and starts hitting 30+ home runs a year, a la Manny Machado, and holds his value into at least his mid-30s. If he takes that path expect him to be valuable for the full 7-year period this analysis covers.
JD on Yordan Alvarez (Jun 10, 2026): Does anyone else find it hard to believe that your Yordan is only 28 years old (about to be 29)? I hope he stays healthy for the remainder of the season because man, is it fun to watch him absolutely clobber pitchers like Barry Bonds in his peak steroid era. There's nothing in his profile I'm really worried about except lingering injury concerns. I think he can put it together for a full season but the upside is second to only Aaron Judge but he's five years younger. I would've made a straight up trade of Judge for Yordan before the rib injury, and now there isn't even a question.
