Blue Chip Stocks:
Willson Contreras: The first time All-Star had a great showing at the plate this week, one that perhaps propelled him into becoming the starting catcher for the Senior Circuit in the Mid-Summer Classic. Willy went 7-for-14 with two doubles, a home run, and three walks, amounting to a .500/.588/.857 (282 wRC+) line. Contreras ranks second among all Major League catchers with a 2.6 fWAR, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say his All-Star selection couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.
