JD on Ryan Weathers (Jun 17, 2026): I'm higher on Ryan Weathers than most but I am going to have to move him down in the rankings because he has not looked great in his last 3 starts (and 4 of his last 5). I love his stuff and I think he is going to be a great arm as he continues to settle into a rotation spot, but I think I was a little too aggressive ranking him at #36SP initially.
JD on Troy Melton (Aug 11, 2026): Yeah I'm gonna move him up again. I'm gonna keep moving up until he proves to me that he shouldn't be this caliber of starting pitcher. I love that he is the kind of guy that can go deep into games because he’s not trying to strike out the world. He still gets his Ks, maybe not 11+ per 9 like some guys but he is still incredibly valuable to dynasty owners with his minuscule WHIP. All aboard the Melton train!
