I've been mentioning him here and there in the blurb sections of the roundups, but I can't wait until Friday's Buy, or until the offseason when I'm gonna gush over him in a sleeper post. I love Cody Asche. I love him for everything he is, and for everything he's not. One thing he's not is on many, if anyone's radar. He's not even owned in 1% of ESPN leagues, though once Matthew Berry picks him up on 24,000 of his teams that number will shoot up to 99% owned. Yesterday, Asche went 3-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 3rd homer in 28 games. Prorate that over a full season and he's hitting 40 homers-- Wait, I had my calculator to Chris Davis math. Okay, so it's only about 15-20 homers, but he can also steal 10 bases and should hit around .290. He's like a modern day Eric Hosmer, if Eric Hosmer weren't already modern day. I remixing The Game for this Outkast and Asche's to Asche's, ah ha, don't make me hush this fuss! Why do I love him for this year, but much more for 2014 fantasy baseball? The Phillies need to move towards the future, and Asche will have a starting job, and get drafted in the late 200's in most mixed leagues, but have the upside of a 70/17/82/.285/10 player. Yes, I just gave you my first 2014 projection. Cody Asche, you make me excited, let's cuddle. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
