    Matt Olson

    Is there no thread yet about Matt Olson? Craig Calcaterra at NBC/HBT had a short blog post comparing his this year to Gary Sanchez's (much lauded) last year. Olson just hit another HR today (#23) so these are out of date already:

    Sanchez 2016: 53 games, .299/.376/.657, 20 HR, 168 OPS+
    Olson 2017: 54 games, .267/.360/.663, 22 HR 168 OPS+

    Pretty impressive! What are expectations going to be for next year?

          I picked him up for $1 in my 15-team keeper, and I'm still in first thanks to him, so he's basically saved my bacon and become a great keeper.

            this run that he's on right now is something else - 5 straight games with a HR, 8 HR in his last 10 games; in the last 9 games he has exactly 1 hit that wasn't a HR.
            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                  The A's have a nice thing going with the Matt & Matt corner infielders. Nobody saw this coming from Olson, but I maintain Chapman is the better Matt next year
