Two of the more underrated acquisitions this year, Dan held on tight to Craig throughout his few months of injuries and was handsomely rewarded with some of the best production over a 60-game span of any player this season, while Ruiz has been one of the best fantasy catchers all year long – particularly for an OBP league. The move provides Casten with some nice flexibility with the roster should he need it, with Cuddyer and Craig both 2B eligible despite their lack of defensive prowess. The question for Brandon is who to start with all this flexibility? Not a bad problem to have, though I suspect he’ll try to move a part in exchange for pitching.
For Dan, the star that once shined so brightly has lost some of its luster as the season went on. Wieters certainly has the talent to put up top 3 numbers at the catch position, but he’s been rather inconsistent and has not been the offensive powerhouse many predicted so far in his young career. Still, I like him as a decent keeper in the middle of an improving Baltimore lineup. Might’ve required a pick upgrade here myself since Ruiz and Craig have been so valuable, but it’s still a reasonable exchange.
