As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, one name that continues to stir up debate is Jacob deGrom. With his injury history and the uncertainty surrounding his workload, how do you approach drafting him?
On one hand, deGrom's talent is undeniable. His return in 2024 showcased the same elite skills that made him a top-tier pitcher in the past. But can we trust him to stay healthy enough to make a significant impact? Some analysts suggest that his quality-per-game is still that of an SP #1, which raises the question: is it worth the risk to draft him in a 12-team league, knowing that you might have to navigate the waiver wire for replacements?
Let’s also consider the broader implications of drafting a high-risk, high-reward player like deGrom. If you take him early, how does that affect your overall strategy? Are you willing to sacrifice a more stable option for the potential league-winning upside he brings?
And what about Nathan Eovaldi? With a solid 2024 season under his belt, could he be a safer alternative, or does he lack the ceiling that deGrom possesses?
I want to hear your thoughts! How do you weigh the risks and rewards of drafting players with injury concerns? Are you leaning towards deGrom, or are you playing it safe with someone like Eovaldi? Share your strategies, bold predictions, and any experiences you've had with these pitchers in past seasons. Let’s dive into the discussion!
