Players On The Rise
So, uh, how's everybody doing today? Feeling good? The holiday weekend treated you right? Cool. Cool.
Oh, yeah, what about this update? What was in it? Great question. I'll tell you, but don't be mad at me. You promise you won't be mad? Okay fine, here's the scoop:
There was nothing in it.
Okay, I mean some guys got boosted overall ratings this week, but nothing as far as I can tell changed with attributes. Any boosts that happened had everything to do with position changes. Basically, with the All-Star game a week out and the holiday weekend in play, this roster update was the bare minimum. And really, that's fine. Many people were expecting next to nothing fron this update with both those factors in play -- the assumption being some big changes will be in the next update instead -- so this should not come as a major shock to the system.
Still, the big risers were guys being changed from relievers back to starting pitchers (Collmenter, Cosart) or a guy being converted back to the middle infield (Logan Forsythe).
Tier Changes
(All thanks go to Daddy Leagues for these numbers! They've been so on the ball the last couple weeks I no longer have to sync up before and after roster update video clips to do all the changes myself.)
- Justin Masterson went from Bronze to Silver
- Jarred Cosart went from Bronze to Silver
- Cesar Hernandez went from Common to Bronze
- Josh Collmenter went from Bronze to Silver
Full List Of Changes
Nathan Eovaldi +4 boost in Overall rating (76 Overall)
Justin Masterson +5 (78)
Logan Forsythe +6 (77)
Rougned Odor +3 (77)
Wilmer Flores +3 (74)
Jarred Cosart +5 (79)

LaTroy Hawkins +2 (76)
Christian Bergman +5 (67)
Players On The Decline
So everything I said about players on the rise also applies to players on the decline. The players who went through position changes are the ones who got dinged with a drop in overall. Some of the big names include Chris Davis (who moved to a corner OF spot) and Yunel Escobar (who went to a corner infield spot). The Escobar one is somewhat humorous because he's been killing the ball this year, but certain position changes come with an automatic downgrade in overall rating -- his ratings beyond that are still the same.
Tier Changes

- Chris Bassitt went from Bronze to Common

Market Changes
There was the introduction of the June Topps 50 Player pack over the weekend. It didn't really impact the Marketplace in a big way as prices mostly continued to rise through the weekend.
Ratings Boost Prediction Results
Let's see how I did on my predictions this week (and as always come back over the weekend for next week's predictions)...Just kidding. The ratings predictions are invalid this week as none happened in the update. But no, please do come back next weekend for the next set of predictions.
