JD on Walker Jenkins (Nov 2, 2026): For anyone that has watched Silicon Valley on HBO, do you remember the legendary clip where Russ Hanneman describes why you never want to start bringing in revenue as a startup? Clip here (https://youtu.be/BzAdXyPYKQo?si=Y2wLb6ifSkxbjvJ6) Here is the dynasty fantasy baseball version of this clip: "If you get called up to the big leagues people will ask how is he performing and it will never be enough...but if you're a highly touted prospect and you can say you're Pre-MLB you're a potential Pure Play. It's not about how well you perform in the big leagues it's about what you're worth as a prospect and who's worth the most? Prospects that haven't been called up yet. I kid you not, this is the exact thing I think every time a prospect comes up and doesn't immediately dominate at the big league level. All of the shine and excitement that a player had on him before he came to the big leagues seems to immediately go away as soon as they put up a slash line that doesn't look out of this world. Are people still enthusiastic? Sure there's still some hope, but managers will offer you a fraction of what they would before he got called up. All this to say, Walker Jenkins is still an elite prospect, if he didn't come up at the end of 2026 a lot of people would feel a lot differently about his prospects heading into 2027. I still see Astros-era Kyle Tucker with more of a motor in his profile, and am excited to see what he does in his first full big league season.
JD on Zyhir Hope (Aug 3, 2026): I love the landing spot for Hope with the Tigers, but I think every Dodgers prospect is better off getting out of LA and not having to compete with each other for playing time. Hope slots in immediately as the #2 prospect in the #1 prosect in the Tigers org for me (most people would have him #2 behind Max Clark, but I am not as high on him as most). With a .293 BA and 23 homeruns in AA this year, Hope has the kind of power that should allow him to reach 30 HR's a season easily, but still has enough of a hit tool that he should be able to hit for a relatively high average at the big league level. The tigers now look like a very exciting team with their pipeline of talent and Hope is another notch in the belt for a deep farm system.
