Hello friends.
Labor Day is behind us and the calendar has officially flipped to the last month of everyone's championship runs...hopefully.
For those out of the race, we salute you. But for those that remain, a month of difficult decisions may await you because, unlike the previous five months, we're basically out of road on the whole "will so-and-so turn it around?" portion of the proceedings. The band of players you may be willing to sit in favor of some new hotness will continue to expand, as there's officially no time to wait. No time to wait for lingering injuries to clear up, no time for sluggish stars to get going again, no time to wait for bad offenses to suddenly become good, with their rising tides lifting the counting stats of everyone around.
Given that, we need to sort out the possible chaff from this final harvest of wheat. Let's get to it.

My teams doing its yearly August/September mass IL purge. Kyle Tucker will hopefully lead me to the promised land though
FYI, Devers has had a shoulder injury almost all season long. He has continually taken a game or two off every couple of weeks to rest it.
