Welcome to Rotoworld Baseball, where our team of experts is always ready to provide you with the latest news, waiver claims, roster advice and more.

2. Heliot Ramos (55th) – Ramos’s exit velocity numbers are truly terrific, but his xwOBA has sunk badly these last couple of weeks and I worry about the strikeouts. He’s also in a tough environment for right-handed power in San Francisco, and he’s not going to be much of a basestealer.
3. Garrett Mitchell (69th) – Mitchell finally returned from his broken finger after missing most of June due to injury. However, it appears that regular playing time may not be in his future after the Brewers declined to demote an outfielder to make room for him following Chourio’s recent hot streak in right field leaving two spots open for Mitchell Sal Frelick Blake Perkins Jake Bauers each day..
