Jose Abreu

Abreu hit a pair of bombs on Saturday, bringing his season total to 21 home runs. That figure may be a bit lower than his owners were hoping for given his 36 home runs in his rookie season, but given his .296/.352/.516 triple slash, they really shouldn't be complaining. Abreu has over 60 runs as well as RBI, and has proven himself worthy of his lofty pre-2015 draft status. Abreu was due for a bit of ad drop in home runs this season given that he led the majors in "Just enough" home runs, dingers defined by ESPN' home run tracker as ones that only just had enough juice to get over the fence. Abreu also had a crazy lofty 26.9 percent HR/FB rate, but he hasn't fallen off to far in 2015, proving that he can sustain one of the highest home run rates in baseball. Abreu is actually hitting his home runs a few feet shorter on average this season, and they are coming off his bat a little slower, but he isn't hitting as many wallscrapers this season, making his current pace a lot more believable than last season. One thing of note is that Abreu has gotten way pickier at the plate in 2015, presumably as pitchers begin to fear him more and more. This is a good sign for Abreu's long-term value, as that ability to adjust once pitchers get the scouting report on you is massively important - just ask Yasiel Puig.

Stephen Vogt

Vogt went 0-for-4 on Saturday, continuing what has been a rough second half for the A's backstop. After a breakout first half, Vogt has really hit a wall in the second half, hitting just .125 with one lone home run and just seven RuBIns. Vogt's plate discipline has also slipped, as his 62:41 strikeout to walk rate in the first half has slipped as the way to 13:2 in the second half, as Vogt appears to be pressing a bit to find that form he had in the first half. Vogt was certainly playing a bit over his head in the first half, as his BABIP and HR/FB rates both suggested some regression in the second half. Vogt's BABIP has settled back to his career rate, but his HR/FB rate is still well above his career rate. Owners are starting to cut bait on Vogt, and if there's a reasonable option out there on the waiver wire, Vogt is unlikely to bounce back to his first half performance, but the problem is finding any real depth at the catcher position on the waiver wire. If you're in a league with Pierzynski or Weiters available, cutting Vogt makes sense, but most of the catchers likely to available would be lateral moves and a waste of a transaction.

Josh Hamilton

Hamilton had a good day at the plate, going 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI on Saturday. Hamilton seems to have settled into about the player we can expect going forward, as his splits in Texas very closely resemble his time in Los Angeles last season. Hamilton slashed .263/.331/.414 in 89 games with the Angels last season, and is slashing ..258/.301/.430 this season with the Rangers. He's hit for a hair more pop while taking a few less walks, but otherwise, that's the Hamilton that we can expect right now. Hamilton has done a bit better of late, collecting multiple hits in five of his last nine games with two home runs and 11 RBI in those games. However, it is name recognition that is driving the over 50 percent ownership for the most part. Hamilton has a BABIP right in line with his career total, and that is despite hitting the ball softer than he has in years. If anything, he may be due to regress a little bit when accounting for the extra year of age and wear and tear. There are a lot of signs of disintegrating skill, as Hamilton is pulling the ball more often than ever this season (52.3 pull rate, up from 38.1 percent career), and has a lower hard hit rate as well (26.1 before Saturday, compared to 32.5 percent for his career). Buyer beware with Hamilton this recent bit of hitting may be tempting given the name, but the results are unlikely to last.

Jeff Samardzija

Samardzija got beat up for the second straight start on Saturday, lasting just 4.2 innings, while giving up seven runs on six hits and two walks. Samardzija got just one strikeout, and has to have his owners pretty worried at this point. Before Saturday, Samardzija's previous outing was against the Yankees last Sunday, when he last the same 4.2 innings, giving up nine runs this time and striking out just three. Samardzija's ERA is now up to 4.62 for the season, but he has definitely had a bit of bad luck. His left on base rate is especially damning, as his 65.9 LOB% is the fifth-lowest among qualified starters this year. It's no surprise then that his FIP (3.82) portends better, while still not great, results ahead. The other good news for Samardzija owners is that Jeff is not seeing any drop in velocity, as he was firing in at over 95 mph again on Saturday, it's just a matter of getting some swings-and-misses. It's not time to cut bait on Samardzija just yet, as his FIP, as well as a decent track record suggest he's worthy of a roster spot unless he really starts to blow up. His next outing is against the rival Cubs on Friday and he should still be in your starting lineup.

Daily Fantasy Leagues

Yan Gomes

Here's your bargain play for Sunday. Make sure he's in the lineup for the Indians, but if he is Gomes for just $3,000 opens up a lot of different options for the rest of your lineup. Gomes has been a bit of a disappointment on the season as a whole for his owners, but has actually been productive of late. Gomes has three home runs in his last seven starts, and has times them well, with nine RBI in those three games. Gomes already has more home runs in the second half of the season as he did in the entire (injury-plagued) first half, and is starting to produce like we thought he would before the season when he was one of the trendier picks at the catcher position. Gomes gets to face Phil Hughes and the cold-as-ice Twins pitching staff on Sunday, making the match up all the more enticing. Only one qualified American League pitcher (C.C. Sabbathia) has given up home runs at a higher rate than Phil Hughes in 2015, and the aforementioned struggles of the Twins are real. They have given up at least nine runs in their last four games, and since the All-Star Break have a 5.45 ERA, and that's not even including Saturday's 17 runs to the Indians. Lock up Gomes for Sunday.
