Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Oneil Cruz. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, McGonigle #16 and Cruz #18, and the expert consensus agrees (#15 and #42). The community leans McGonigle, FRV 72.4 to 67.3. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Cruz ahead, #37 to #56, and the rest-of-season engine agrees ($11 and $21).
JD on Kevin McGonigle (Jun 10, 2026): Think about a player who has 3 HRs in 237 PA but has more walks than strikeouts, a .400 on-base percentage, and is putting up a .374 xwOBA at 21 years old - how are you evaluating that player? I think I'm more bullish on McGonigle just because of how impressed I've been with his batted ball profile and maybe the home runs are going to come down the line rather than this year. I think this is one of those situations where everyone expected so much from him that there is some disappointment despite some really impressive underlying metrics. His 30-home-run years may not come for a couple of years but you're going to get some really great stats all around while waiting for the power to mature.
JD on Oneil Cruz (Aug 18, 2026): Oneil Cruz with a CRUISE MISSILE in his first game back from the IL at 107.7 off the bat, going 422 feet. I think I am higher on Cruz than anyone in the industry, but I will continue to bang the drum that he is a special talent that few players can match from an upside perspective. He could be a league winner the rest of the year (or he could be an absolute dud) but in dynasty leagues I would be doing whatever I can to grab him for his age 28 season in 2027. BUY BUY BUY!
