JD on Jake McCarthy (Aug 10, 2026): Jake McCarthy is one of the most flawed but valuable players in fantasy baseball right now. If you have him on your team, you are amazed by the performance he has put together this year and if you don't you have been waiting for the other shoe to drop for two months now. He feels like a league winner this year. What does that mean for his dynasty value? Well we all know the Coors Effect is having maximum effect here for McCarthy, but it doesn't make him inherently unvaluable. We also know how Nolan Jones and Brenton Doyle's value has evaporated. If I have McCarthy, I'm riding him to a championship this year and then looking to move him for anything in the offseason. But enjoy the ride while it lasts!
JD on Spencer Jones (Jun 5, 2026): Well that was a disaster of a debut. I'm probably higher on Spencer Jones than most because of the 80-grade power but it's hard to deny that he got exposed to the big league level in his first go-around. Let's look at the positives: 97 mph EV on balls in play That's about all I have in terms of reasons to be excited about him right now, but he has such a high ceiling I think he warrants this ranking. I am hopeful that he finds some regular playing time at some point and is able to get into a groove and that strikeout rate comes down to a manageable level but he has a high risk of becoming the next Joey Gallo (during his bad years).
