JD on Gavin Williams (Aug 3, 2026): Glad my Gavin Williams take lasted all of 1 start, because he just absolutely dominated the Diamondback with 5 perfect innings to start the game off before mother nature humbled Gavin in the 6th inning. Despite the torrential downpour in the 6th derailing what otherwise looked like his most impressive performance of the season, I think Gavin has proven that his stuff is elite enough to overcome some of the command warts. I moved him up to SP10 and struggle to find a reason the pitchers behind him would be more valuable. The wheels might come off or at least get wobbly at some point, but you can be confident investing in him as a low end #1 and if you can get him for the price of a solid #2 SP I would jump all over it.
JD on Payton Tolle (Jun 3, 2026): Here is a great article on Tolle and how he has dominated so far. Does anyone else feel like he snuck up on us last year? He was not on my radar at all and all of a sudden he is up and dominating in the big leagues with unreal stuff. with a FB that averages 96 and plays up due to his extension, he doesn't need much else to dominate hitters. Kind of reminds me of Schlitter from the left side with his arsenal.
