Since I haven't touted my wares in a minute, I wrote a Jake Lamb sleeper post last December. Going back to read that now, and, I don't often laugh at my own stuff, but the opening paragraph is funny. Not unintentionally either, like I called Aaron Judge a preseason bust (I actually liked Judge a lot in the preseason, and own him; something I also don't tout often -- the hype's strong enough, isn't it?). Then, into the 2nd paragraph, I drop more gems, but they're useful vs. haha. One gem that particularly stands out to me as I reread it, Jake Lamb hates the summer. He might also dislike girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch. Before yesterday's 2-for-5, 6 RBIs, two-homer game, Lamb had a .150 average in July with no homers. Last year, as I point out in that post, he was just as bad -- 9 HRs, .197 in the 2nd half. Last year, there was a wrist problem -- That's what she said! What? -- so maybe his splits aren't as obvious as a banana gymnast. Here's hoping he makes last year an outlier and not the beginning of male pattern badness. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
