Seems like Ozuna Dropped the Ball
As I mentioned in Eric's April review, Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna was the 51st player selected in the draft, but has been nothing but disappointment since the season began. Eric's drop marks the highest drafted player to be dropped for non-injury reasons*. The timing is a little strange in my opinion, it's still pretty early to be dropping a top 100 player unless he's injured, and Ozuna recently hit his first homerun and has a respectable .363 OBP. I guess Eric's patience wore out on the once promising 24 year old. Although I wouldn't be shocked to see him picked up tomorrow.
In other news, Dan grabbed the next big Mets pitching prospect, Noah Syndergaard, after they announced he could be next in line. Young Mets pitchers have done alright in the past (see: Harvey, DeGrom), so this could be big down the stretch.
Other pick-ups included fantasy journeymen Tim Lincecum and Brandon Phillips going to Mark and Dan respectively. It's always tempting to grab those big names with big pasts when they're on a hot streak, and hope they rediscover whatever made them first and second round picks not too long ago.
*I didn't actually research this, but it sounds right doesn't it?
