Movement This Week
No call-ups, demotions, 40-man moves, or option shuffles registered in the last seven days. That's actually useful information for season-long managers: if you've been sitting on a stash hoping the clock starts ticking, you didn't lose ground this week, but you didn't gain a runway either. Check back next Monday — with the offensive surges below, somebody on this list is going to force a roster decision soon.
Bats To Track
Zack Gelof
54 PA, 1.251 OPS, 4 HR, 3 SB at AAA with a 0.387 xwOBA backing it up — the contact quality matches the slash line.
Verdict: Stash now. He's the closest bat on this list to a job, and the xwOBA says this isn't a BABIP mirage. If you have an IL slot or a deep bench, he's the priority add.
Edward Florentino
40 PA, 1.250 OPS at Single-A, but the headline is a 0.462 xwOBA — elite contact quality for the level.
Verdict: Watchlist. A-ball is a long road, but xwOBA that loud demands a dynasty roster spot. Redraft leagues can pass.
Cooper Ingle
72 PA, 1.352 OPS with 5 HR at AAA — the highest OPS on the board and at the highest level.
Verdict: Stash now in deeper formats. AAA production this loud over a meaningful sample tends to get rewarded; he's a phone call away.
Jonah Cox
107 PA, 1.204 OPS, 4 HR, 18 SB at AA — the steals total is the eye-catcher in a sample this size.
Verdict: Watchlist. If you're punting speed or playing in a deep dynasty, the wheels are real. Otherwise wait for an AAA promotion.
Colby Shelton
99 PA, 1.205 OPS, 6 HR, 5 SB at High-A — a balanced line over the largest sample in the hot-hitter group.
Verdict: Watchlist. Volume + production is the right combo to monitor; he just needs a level jump to matter in mixed leagues.
Arms On The Climb
Chayce McDermott
12.2 IP at AAA, 17.1 K/9, and an xERA of 0.00 — the 5.68 ERA is pure noise. He's the cleanest stash on the pitching side given the level.
Verdict: Stash now. AAA arms with xERAs this absurd get the next spot-start call.
Joe Rock
10.1 IP at AAA, 18.3 K/9, xERA 0.26 against a 6.97 surface ERA — another AAA arm whose results lag his stuff badly.
Verdict: Stash now in deeper leagues. Same template as McDermott, slightly smaller sample.
Alex Carrillo
11.1 IP at AAA, 18.3 K/9, xERA 0.23 — third AAA arm in a row where the underlying is screaming and the ERA is hiding it.
Verdict: Watchlist. Pick whichever of these AAA xERA bets fits your roster construction; you don't need all three.
William Kempner
17.1 IP at AAA — the largest pitching sample on the list — 19.2 K/9 with an xERA of 0.33.
Verdict: Stash now. Sample size is the tiebreaker; he's done it longest at the highest level.
Elier Morillo
12.2 IP at Single-A, 19.2 K/9, xERA 0.30 — the strikeout rate plays at any level, but A-ball is far from the show.
Verdict: NRR for redraft, dynasty watchlist. The whiff profile is real; the timeline is not.
