I'm a Braves fan and Vols fan. Vols hit a 3 run homer yesterday with 2 strikes and 2 outs in the 9th to take the lead and eventually win the game.
The Braves hit a grand slam with 2 outs in the 9th today. It's been a good two days & this is why baseball is the greatest game.
Mining the Minors this morning and 3 guys caught my attention:
Ryan Clifford HOU
Wenceel Perez DET
Royber Salinas OAK
These are guys I'm watching and adding who have some of what I look for in breakouts. A thread on what I'm watching🧵
Wenceel Perez just seems grossly undervalued. A year after hitting 14 HR with 18 SB with great plate discipline he's doing the same thing again so far this year. Maybe not star upside but needs to be more owned.
Royber Salinas big question mark was the control. He clearly has strike out stuff with 175 in 109 innings a year ago but with 63 BB.
Through 3 brief starts compiling 8.1 IP at AA so far he has 14 Ks and 0 BB 👀
I know it's one day but after Opening Day I'm going to grab Brendan Donovan and Josh Outman in redraft or shallower leagues. Both look really, really good.
In deeper leagues he's probably owned but if Ji Hwan Bae gets playing time be can get you a bunch of steals.
Justin Verlander will be placed on the IL with a low grade teres major strain. He will continue throwing at moderate intensity and we will rescan in a week. We will provide an update at that time.
