Players On The Rise
The youth movement got some nice upgrades this week. Miguel Sano, Rusney Castillo and Francisco Lindor all went from Bronze to Silver -- Kyle Schwarber got a boost as well but remained a Bronze. A couple pitchers reclaimed some of their former luster with Kris Medlen and Justin Verlander getting boosts.
Mike Fiers got his no-hitter ratings bump one week later, much like Iwakuma had gotten following his no-hitter (presumably Arrieta gets one next week as well). In terms of established stars, Cespedes built on his Gold status and Greinke built on his Diamond status.
