In the latest edition of Statcast Studs and Duds for offense, we're going to shorten the range of outcomes. I will look at leaders in hard-hit balls over the past month only. Also, rather than simply isolating Hard% as a metric, I am looking at the total leaders in batted ball events that qualify as either Barrels or Solid Contact. The reason for this is simple - percentages can be misleading.If a rookie comes up and homers in his first two Major League at-bats, his ISO and Barrel% will be throu[...]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones had a great day at the dish on [...]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the loss to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Jones went yard off Atlanta starter Max Fried in the fourth inning for his eighth home run of the season. It was also the second night in a row that Jones left the ballpark. The veteran had been struggling for quite some time but appears to be breaking out of the slump. Jones currently sports a .272 average and should get plenty of chances atop the D-backs order.

The 2019 season is now one-fifth over for every team in MLB, and one-quarter over for some. By the end of the month in just under three weeks time, it'll be one-third finished. If you've hung on to a certain player in a certain roto league, depending on how often you played or benched them, they could have cost you quite a bit in the standings, even by season's end.Stats are through Friday, May 10. As we say every week: Remember that these recommendations are for standard leagues up to 12 teams,[...]

Welcome to May. [...]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jones has been hitting well for the D-Backs this season, so this is likely just a normal rest day. Blake Swihart will get the start in right field and bat sixth versus righty Jordan Lyles. Swihart can be avoided in DFS contests on Wednesday.

The 2019 MLB campaign has reached Week 3, and as typically comes with the first month of the season, we find ourselves both befuddled by the surprising starts of some players and desperately awaiting the acceleration of others. [...]

In every season there are teams who initially appear so bad that we give up all hope of fantasy value. In 2019 one of those teams was the Baltimore Orioles, who had a very different lineup to last year. 2018 saw the Orioles move on from Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop, and Adam Jones followed them out of the door in the offseason.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones is enjoying his first week in the National League. He finished Monday's 10-3 victory against the San Diego Padres with a single and a solo home run across five at-bats. The homer was his third of the season. He will continue to play regularly now that Steven Souza Jr. (knee) suffered a freak season-ending injury in an exhibition game last Monday, freeing up the logjam in the outfield in the process. Jones has re-emerged as a must-start fantasy option ac[...]
