Scout’s note

Junior Caminero's EV95 of 112.1 puts him in the 99th percentile of the 406 qualified major-league bats we track, and his luck gap of 0.0005 means the results and the physics agree — 42 homers and 101 RBI are earned, not borrowed. At 23, out of Santo Domingo, he's already played 366 big-league games and sits No. 90 on the breakout composite. The board takes 20, and he is not one of the 20: there's nothing mispriced about a player whose contact quality and stat line match this closely. What you see is what he is.

Current signals

The read: Caminero is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 112.1 (99th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.001 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 90 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Tampa Bay Rays.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
