Julio Rodriguez returned from the IL Sunday and went 0-5 with 5 strikeouts to notch his first career platinum sombrero.

The funniest part of my Langford & Hamilton for Caballero trade has been that flip-in Hamilton has been the most valuable player in the deal. Langford and Caballero have both been mediocre, while Hamilton has 22 SBs since that trade.
If you bought low on Langford, you also received low.Comment

Season isn't over but I wont have much time over the next few weeks. Just to put a nice bow on the main argument in this thread, selling low on Wyatt Langford was a really bad idea and the reasoning I gave played out. He definitely was not a superstar (maybe he will be in future years), but he was certainly a very good player to have on your fantasy team after the big panic was identified. As I said multiple times, Panic Mode 1. His swing decisions/approach was GOOD (not a negative as suggested in this thread).
After 5/29 when the alarm bells were fully rung, Wyatt Langford hit .261/.338/.443 with 12 HR, 15 SB, 53 R and 57 RBI. Just for context to show what that looks like in full season numbers, that's a 20/30 bat with >90 runs and RBI and an above average AVG and OBP. (Yes I'm aware you can't just project out partial seasons - just using this for context).
To put it in terms of 2023 players (which is what he would have been compared to on draft day), he was a mix of Anthony Volpe (with much better avg) and Josh Lowe (with less speed/avg). I can't imagine you were looking for more than that when picking him.
The moral of this thread is... don't panic.Comment
