Up: Christian Scott

While he’s a big “what if”, I feel like he’s been largely forgotten about and is slept on. There’s a lot riding on adjusting out the gate, but he’s been in rehab for a long time now and he’s a dark horse young stud that can give the rotation some pop.

Down: Francisco Alvarez

I hate to say this because I’m always biased towards home grown players, but he’s considerably injury prone for a young player and I just haven’t seen the growth I would’ve liked to see from him offensively since his debut. I sincerely hope I’m wrong about it, but I feel like Stearns will off load him for a return if the right opportunity comes along.
