JUSTIN UPTON
While he's been Justin Slumpton the last month or so, he still may be the most attractive bat available this month. Even with the prolonged slump, he's still posting a 116 wrc+, and is more likely to surge the second half and play at a better clip. His value is limited due to his impending free agency, and because any team acquiring him will not receive draft pick compensation if he walks.
Gotta tell you, as someone who loves Justin Upton and has watched him for a long time, he gets on these ridiculous streaks on both ends. He'll be super hot for like a month, hit 350 with 9 HRs, then the next he'll hit 240 with 3 HRs. IT happens every damned year and it's the most consistently astounding thing I've ever seen. And it's not like it's the same pattern every season, either. Sometimes it's April and September, sometimes it's June and July, this year it's May and ????
