Yes! Futures Game question ... PCA had a very good BP session too, and then the good AB as you mentioned. It IS about the power development for him, which we've seen some of this year. That said, I think 30/30 is probably a bit of a stretch. Maybe once as a career-year type of thing in a few; think he settles in more in the 20/30 range.

Will Justin turner keep this pace up or should we expect a drop off in the 2nd half given his age?
Brent Hershey

I think he keeps it up mostly. Just a solid all-around hitter who is aging well. BOS seems like a great fit for him.

Better second half - Santander or Bregman?
Brent Hershey
12:50
Santander b/c of the power and we're talking fantasy. Only downside could be if he gets squeezed b/c of the BAL youth brigade. But playing 1B some recently says to me they'll try to squeeze them all in (though this could also depend on Mountcastle's health).

Any chance the M's don't shut down Woo if they're still in the race? Their SP depth isn't exactly deep and he may be better off pitching shorter outings...
Brent Hershey

It's possible ... we do see that from time to time (that a few 'sure shutdowns' don't happen). But if I had to guess, I'd agree that shorter outings, keeping him active, would be the way they go as long as they have playoff aspirations. Pretty interesting arm.

Thanks for your insight Brent,Need help figuring out who my bottom two players are to drop this week in NL 5x5. Hrs most important, SB’s least important at the break. Concerned about second half only.Winker,Santana,marsh, grisham, segura
Brent Hershey

I'd move on from Winker for sure. Santana would probably be my second -- tho the consistent ABs make it tough.

Is this what Taylor Ward is? Its been underwhelming
Brent Hershey

Does kinda seem like it; yes. I also had more hope coming into the season. He's not droppable or anything, and BABIP have hurt some, but just another outfielder at this point. Not taken the next step many of us anticipated.

Do you think Taj Bradly will turn it  around ROS?
Brent Hershey

Skills are actually really solid -- so answer is 'yes' in that sense. TAM also looks under the hood as well as anyone, so gotta figure they will keep running him out there. But also need to consider his confidence, etc. I'm a hold on him for. now.

Worried about the serious dip in swing and miss in his profile. Velo good, but not getting the whiffs he needs, and walks up also. Total speculation, but wonder if he's healthy. I don't see an obvious bounce back in the 2H.

Thanks all! Fun as always. Enjoy the half-week off, the Derby tonight and the ASG tomorrow. Will be back next Monday, same time and spot! Have a great week.
