It seems like every player has taken some kind of step back -- both ratings wise and statistically -- as I sit at 29-44 and 12 games out on June 27.
Arenado's ratings dropped across the board, but he is still hitting .263 with 14 homers and 55 RBIs. (He's been on a major tear the last couple of weeks to significantly raise his numbers).
Meanwhile, it seemed Goldschmidt was the only player performing to expectations through the first 2.5 months but has slumped in recent weeks.
He is hitting .275 with 13 homers and 38 RBIs.
Big decisions loom in terms do I try and win the division -- I need starting pitching help -- or deal pending free agents like Goldschmidt and SS Tim Anderson and underperformers (Nolan Gorman, Lars Nootbaar and Dylan Carlson) looking to build for 2025.

Carlson and Gorman are playing well for me. Nootbar was sent back to the minors. He is a fringe MLB player at best.
