Scott Schebler (OF, Reds) - If you’re looking for a hot add, Scheb right up! Schebler takes the #1 most added player this week after a power binge in which he hit 4 taters in 4 games. He hasn’t hit any more in 5 games since, but they’ll come. While his 39.1% Hard% is appealing, his true evolution is his 48.4% FB% (29.1% in 2016), allowing him to make the most of his hard contact. While his higher strikeout rate might scare some away, I think it’ll come down as he’s actually improved his contact rate. He can easily hit .250 with 20-25 HR the rest of the way with a handful of SBs, which is useful in all leagues.The longball is my Schebler, and I shall want.

    Trevor Story and DJ Lemahieu-Can you tel me why these two players are still taking up roster space on my roster? Am I waiting for the Colorado air to heat up? Rookie here, my patience meter is lower from lack of knowledge.
