Tough home park piles on the ol burden of proof. Jake McCarthy, ARI Elite speed by every metric, developing power, and he more than held his own in the majors, including 21.5% Ks. Ohtani is more like a late first-rounder than an early-first rounder, at least in a weekly league where you have to choose between his hitting and pitching stats, but he's lived up to it two years in a row and is still in his prime at 28.

Its just that when so many are willing to go the extra buck, the bucks add up fast.

Taveras is one of those who could steal 50 bases even batting ninth, and even without a very good hitting season.

There could be a problem here besides the 24.6% strikeouts, which are not terrible: Eaton was a 45.6% fly-ball hitter with a lowly 27.5% hard-hit rate. And he plays a mean rocknroll guitar. That said, Nelson is on the 40-man, had a successful debut (1.47 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 15% K-BB in 18 IP), and is firmly entrenched in that fifth starter battle.
