Christian Scott, SP, Mets The Scott is hot, and we're talking about only a single run given up in his last 10.2 innings! Yesterday's start was as close to being a 'gem' as a start can get, with a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 4 K/BB, and 8 Ks over 5.0 innings pitched.

Sam Antonacci, 2B/OF, CWS I don't have much to add to the Antonacci discourse, other than to mention he now has two swiped bags after having zero before this week. The steals have arrived, and with that, he's officially an easy add. You just don't see many rookies have such an instinctual knack for creating good outcomes. Antonacci doesn't chase, doesn't whiff, boasts elite launch angles, takes pitches to the body at a Rizzo-esque rate, and recognizes pitches as if he were a
