The Tigers released 33 year-old C Wilson Ramos. He's struggled to hit for the last 2 seasons now. Small sample size i guess. But, his MLB future looks very cloudy.

Hiura just got back from a 17-day vacation in Nashville where he crushed AAA pitching. He was 0-2 with a bb in his first game back.

Kelenic is batting .263 in AAA.

After a quick glance at this list it looks like most of them were also bad in 2020.

[Hornsby]

I own 6 of the listed, no wonder I'm having a terrible year in most leagues.

[Sour Masher]

I had such high hopes for Ian Happ. I gave a lot to get him and until recently believed he would turn it around. Now, I am not betting on it.

I had such high hopes for Ian Happ. I gave a lot to get him and until recently believed he would turn it around. Now, I am not betting on it.

Same, main piece I gave up was Andrew Vaughn, 6 bucks 1st year player in our league. He can be kept for 3 seasons at that price, then extended for 5 bucks a year in his option year.

Happ was 30 bucks, and obviously unkeepable. He's sitting behind someone named Rafael Ortega tonight...crap.

Me too. i drafted him in the 10th rd of my 16tm redraft league, but luckily shipped him off with Mize for O’Neill & Fried.

I own 2 but only 1 each in my only leagues.

Happ and Santana.

[Gregg]

Yep. Me too.

I had him as a keeper at $10. The only reason he is not $15 is because I went into the auction with very little money.

Wander Franco is now at .197 after his first 61 at bats.

I don't see any team making the Pirates an offer for Polanco lol. The Pirates are probably stuck paying him the other half of his $11 million salary before he enters free agency.

Some other team will sign him to a minor league deal. Then he will fix his swing over the winter and be an all-star next season.

[Sharky]

Conforto and Bellinger are the big surprises there IMO. The rest seem to belong.

.201-hitting Conforto - a 26-unit keeper in my league - appreciates your parameters very much
