JD on JJ Wetherholt (Oct 20, 2026): This might be one of the first rankings where I'm using the eye test rather than the player's actual statistics to make this call. On the surface a slash line of .242/.339/.365 really doesn't scream top 50 dynasty asset. He also really struggled in the second half of the season with an anemic .608 OPS. However, I think that JJ may have run out of steam playing his first full season in the big leagues and there are bigger things ahead of him entering his age-24 season. For one, an 89.7 EV from someone with this profile should have resulted in more power than 17 home runs. He also pretty significantly underperformed his xwOBA of .347 at a .318 wOBA and I think he is bound to improve on that in 2027. There's also something to be said about playing for a team that really isn't competitive in the second half of the year, and I think this may have plagued both Walker and Wetherholt a bit. As I'm writing this, I feel like I'm just coping with some flawed underlying metrics and wouldn't blame you for having JJ lower than this, but I'm a believer in the skill set and think that he will improve on his 2026 season next year.
JD on Logan Gilbert (Oct 20, 2026): Logan Gilbert is a borderline case for me, because despite the fact that he will be 30 in 2027, I think he's got a lot of life left in his arm. I think he's very likely to take the Kevin Gausman-type path where he is very valuable accumulating innings with great ratios and good K rates. I also love pitchers who minimize walks and keep their WHIP down and Logan Gilbert is the poster child for minimizing free passes without the expense of making himself much more hittable. I do think his value takes a significant hit if he isn't able to come to a long-term deal with the Mariners and ends up signing elsewhere, as some of those home run issues (that I think T-Mobile Park covers for him) could rear their heads in a worse pitcher's environment. It's impossible for me to speculate where he ends up going after 2027 so it's a fool's errand to try to knock his value down because of it, but it is a real threat facing him if he signs with a team like the Yankees or Phillies. Just something to keep in mind if you are making a roster decision regarding Gilbert in 2027.
