Scott's Top 150 Hitters List

A whole lot of fantasy-relevant bats have returned from the IL this week and a few have been called up from the minors as well. Where does Samuel Basallo factor in to the catcher ranks the rest of the year? It's hard to believe that Geraldo Perdomo and Brice Turang are now top-50 hitters, but here we are. It's like the Paul Rudd meme, "Hey, look at us." Meanwhile, the Giants' power bats are falling and so is Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez.
