As we dive into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the landscape is already shifting with intriguing storylines and potential breakout players. Let's talk about some of the key players and situations that could shape our drafts and rosters this year.
First up, Rafael Devers is facing some health concerns with his shoulder, and it raises a critical question: how do you weigh a player's past performance against their current health status? If Devers is healthy, he’s a Hall of Fame talent, but if not, is he worth the risk in the early rounds? Would you stash him late in your draft, or is it better to play it safe and look elsewhere?
Then there's Vaughn Grissom, who could be stepping into a starting role for the Red Sox. After a promising 2022, he seems to be a forgotten name. Could he be a late-round gem, or is he just another player who won’t live up to the hype? What are your thoughts on taking chances on players with potential but limited MLB experience?
On the pitching side, Max Fried is a lock for the Yankees' rotation, but with a defense that might not support him, could we see his ERA climb? Is he still a reliable SP1, or should we be cautious about drafting him too high?
And what about the injury concerns surrounding players like Adolis Garcia and Taylor Ward? Injuries can drastically change a player's draft stock. How do you approach drafting players with a history of injuries? Do you avoid them altogether, or do you see them as potential value picks if they fall in the draft?
Lastly, let’s not forget about the young prospects like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Jordan Walker. With their speed and potential, are they worth a late-round flyer, or do you think their lack of power will hold them back in fantasy leagues?
I want to hear your thoughts! What bold predictions do you have for these players? Who are you targeting in your drafts, and who are you avoiding? Let’s get the conversation going!
