JD on Gunnar Henderson (Oct 21, 2026): Gunner Henderson is still so young and had so much potential that it's hard for me to write him off completely. However I can't figure out what kind of player he really is. Is he going to be a guy who steals 30 bases like he did in 2025? Is he going to try to tap into more power like he seemingly did in 2026 at the expense of his batting average? Or will he be able to put it all together like he did in 2023 and 2024 and return to being a top 10-type player when everything is going right? I'm betting that his 2026 is what we should expect to see from him going forward although I think his batting average is a little suppressed due to a lower BABIP that probably has some reversion to the mean in 2027. He still has so much time to right the ship and "righting the ship" is probably not the right term for it because he didn't put together a bad season by any means in 2026. It's just not up to the standard that he set when he first came on the scene as a 22- and 23-year-old. I wouldn't blame you for still believing in Gunnar but I would prefer to look elsewhere when getting to this point of the rankings (because I don't think he is going to return to his old form that made him so valuable).
JD on Otto Lopez (Oct 27, 2026): I said this earlier in the season and I still feel it: if Otto Lopez played for the Yankees, everyone would look at him a lot differently. Look at what he just did. He hit .305/.349/.437 with 34 stolen bases, 94 runs and 71 RBI across 687 plate appearances, good for a 115 wRC+ and nearly 6 fWAR. The average isn't a fluke either: he struck out only 13% of the time, and his .281 xBA says the contact quality supports a high average year after year. Add 28.5 ft/s sprint speed and the Marlins playing him every single day, and you have a guy who piles up at-bats and steals. What he doesn't have is power. He hit 11 home runs with a 6% barrel rate and an 89.1 mph average EV, and I don't think the power gets much better from here. He also has the unlucky mix of playing in Miami, where nobody pays attention, with a bad team around him that won't create as many run and RBI chances as he'd get on a good one. Maybe he gets moved at the deadline next year and lands somewhere that makes him more attractive. I'm well ahead of the consensus here (they have him around 100), and I'm comfortable with it. A high-average, 30-steal shortstop who never comes off the field should be one of those quietly elite players for the next couple of years. If his manager in your league sees "Marlins" and shrugs, take advantage.
