April 12, 20232 yr Meanwhile the M's are now 4-8...but it's still a big improvement (so far) from last year.

April 13, 20232 yr As soon you pick him up for fantasy he will revert lol... but at least considering it in an 8 person league. That's saying something.

I don't think any of it came from me. As a matter of fact I suggested the Sox try to trade for him this past off season among my many young LH OF suggestions over the last couple of off seasons. It's still early but so far so good for him.

It's still early but so far so good for him. Now is the ultimate test for Kelenic. He's finally made the needed adjustments in his game and they've seemingly stuck. Can he sustain it out over 3-4 months or even a full season? Where will advance scouts decide to attack his swing this time? 1.2 fWAR and slightly negative on defense (-0.5)...so his bat will obviously have to carry him. Edited May 9, 20232 yr by caulfield12
May 11, 20232 yr Kelenic is clearly an improved player and will provide fantasy value with homers and steals, but it’s safe to expect his batting average to continue to drop. Pitchers have adjusted to him, throwing far more breaking balls and fewer fastballs since the end of last month, and his K% has spiked as a result. We are still dealing with small samples, and Kelenic will adjust to the adjustments, but he’s batting .204/.264/.286 with zero homers and 18 strikeouts (34.0 K%) over this span (49 ABs). THE BAT X projects Kelenic to hit .236 over the rest of the season. Yahoo fantasy sports
May 16, 20232 yr Some HR/FB luck (28%) but his EV numbers indicate a true talent upgrade. Still striking out too much and could take more walks. I see him having an Avi like career where the tools tantalize but most years he's a slightly below average regular. Maybe puts up 12 career WAR.
May 16, 20232 yr Avi at 10.4 for his entire career, with 4.7 coming in that one anomalously standout 2017 season. Should have sold high then... but hindsight always 20/20.
