2259 - Are these players second halves' sustainable?

Take 10 with 10 – September 11, 2026 @ 9:15 am – 1 hour, max

1.Shohei Ohtani hits the IL with his knee and bicep that have been problematic since June. He’ll be out of the lineup until at least the end of the month.

a.The Dodgers have one 7 in a row and nine up in the loss column over the Padres. Do we see Ohtani in the regular season again?

b.With what we know now, do you drop him in leagues that do not have Injury rosters?

c.Uber prospect Josue De Paula gets the call and is a must-add in all leagues. At least I think so; does he get enough at-bats to matter?

2.Let’s look at the standings.

3.Here are 10 players who’ve had a great second half. How will you think of them coming into next season’s drafts? Maybe a round or round range, or move up on your list, etc…

1)Fernando Tatis - .299 BA, 15 HR, 9 SB, 37 RBI

2)Rafael Devers - .276 BA, 16 HR, 40 RBI

3)Steven Kwan - .353 BA, 1 hit, 3 SB – at least he started hitting, not much else though.

4)Jac Caglianone - .328 BA, 8 HR, 3 SB, but only 5 walks in 161 Pas

5)Henry Bolte - .293 BA, 7 HR, 8 SB
