- Josh Rojas has some prevalent backers in the fantasy baseball community, and, thus, his three-homer game last month was celebrated rather loudly on my twitter feed. Unfortunately, his other 42 appearances this year have resulted in just one homer. We’re now 240 games into Rojas’s career, but there just hasn’t been a lot of progress. His .248/.326/.371 line is merely adequate. He has a 32.5% hard-hit rate this year (matching his career rate of 32.6%) that puts him in the bottom 20% of regulars. Because he can steal bases, he remains somewhat interesting in fantasy leagues, but there’s just not much suggesting that he has another level to ascend to. The Diamondbacks are content with him as a regular for now, but if he doesn’t take something of a step forward in the second half, he should be shoved into more of a utility role next year.
- I was adding Jake Lamb to the third base rankings this month even before the Dodgers called him up Tuesday. He was hitting .290/.395/.537 in Triple-A, and the Dodgers will have at-bats available for him as a DH against righties. I doubt he’ll hit for average in the majors, but he could put up decent power numbers for however long he gets to play.
