    And as far as 'overreacting' here, well, it's not so much overreacting as it is being informed about potential gains and losses of playing time. Outside of NFBC leagues, you can make waiver claims and if a guy like Biggio is just not playing, well, you may need to make a tough decision on him as far as being a waiver wire casualty. There's only so many players you can carry.
    Santiago Espinal is the Jays' starting 2B and is producing and playing good D. Biggio is currently a super sub who has played 1B, 2B and OF.

        I’m not hopeful on Biggio’s production. He seems to be on ice, not so much thin ice yet. But he’s just a fill-in now, not a starter.

            Nice. Of all the services you've provided to RJ, playing time boom/busts is perhaps the best. Thanks.

              Awww, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, lol

              Some more:

              Booms
              Sean Murphy - actually leads the AL in PAs. If some semblence of that keeps, up, he could blow away last year's stats.
              Maikel Franco - leads the NL in games played. Can provide cheap power.
              Thairo Estrada - has 51 ABs already, which is about half as much as he had all last season
              Darin Ruf - appears to be playing almost every day instead of just vs RHPs
              Tony Kemp - on pace for 585 ABs. Also, has anyone noticed his OBP the last couple of seasons? .386 so far, .382 last year, .363 in '20.
              Connor Joe - 51 PAs so far, on pace for 580 AB (179 last year). Could be a huge steal if he keeps up this pace.

              Busts
              Garrett Hampson - only got into 3 games before going on the IL. Probably is droppable barring an injury to someone else.
              Bobby Bradley - has started just 3 games this season. I'm sensing a demotion soon.
              JD Davis - just not getting the ABs
              Dominic Smith - ditto. Mainly pinch hitting.

                    It might be a good time to remove Alec Bohm from the bust list. Since his infamous words that were caught on camera, he has gone back to his natural style of hitting instead of jacking everything. His success has allowed him to settle down defensively, to the point that he is actually playing well at 3rd or 1st.
