Getting sent down to the minors in the first month of the season is just about a worst-case scenario for a player drafted in the first 10 rounds of a Fantasy Baseball league, so it's hard to imagine a worse start to the season than the one Jake Burger had. Burger, the Rangers' big offseason addition to their lineup, hit just .190/.231/.330 in his first 30 games before earning a trip back to Triple-A last week.

I was mostly willing to write off William Contreras' slow start to the season. He's been a major disappointment as the top catcher off the board, but it's not like his .311 wOBA has been a disaster – he had a 35-game stretch between May and June of last season where he had a .247 wOBA, after, and he went on to hit .268/.381/.502 from July 1 on to cement himself as the top catcher in baseball. I was pretty confident he'd get back to that level up until about three days ago.

The term "sell-high candidate" implies something in a Fantasy Baseball context. People often read it to mean, "This player isn't good, trade him for anything while you can," but of course, that's an extremely un-nuanced reading. A player can be good and also be a sell-high candidate. It just means they probably aren't as good as they appear in the moment. Take Nathan Eovaldi, for example.
