Josue Can You See

Ohtani hits the IL, because apparently one body can only take so much baseball, and the Dodgers respond by calling up Josue De Paula, the No. 4 prospect on Itch’s midseason rankings. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Rodriguez gets the call from Minnesota and Brody Hopkins joins Tampa Bay, giving us plenty of shiny new toys to discuss while everyone immediately asks, “Can I start him?”Elly De La Cruz is doing Elly De La Cruz things, landing at No. 1 on the weekly player rater while somehow simultaneously losing a bunch of sprint speed. So what do you do with him next year? We also talk Logan Henderson, who has been absolutely ridiculous over the last 30 days and is making a strong case that maybe we should have been paying more attention. Then it’s time for WW bats, streaming pitchers, and the weekly SAGNOF segment, where apparently every reliever in baseball has decided they would like to try closing for a day.
