    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 5th among SP's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 9th.
  • The current leader among SP's is Mason Miller
  • He is putting up the kind of numbers the experts expected him to.
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off and he's listed on the injury report. He may have some nagging injuries with his Calf (Since Oct 1, 2024). Stay clear of him if its going to stick around, otherwise now is the time to get a guy at a bargain price since he is hurt. Check out his player news.

Breakdown Yandy Diaz

    Overview

  • He is eligible to play multiple positions including: 1B DH . However, he plays 1B most often.

  • The current leader among 1B's is Matt Olson
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
