Spencer Arrighetti's transformation from a struggling pitcher to a potential SP3 is nothing short of remarkable. His recent performance has sparked a lot of debate about the impact of player development and coaching in the majors. With the Astros' track record of maximizing their pitchers' potential, how much credit do you think should go to the organization versus the player's own adjustments?
On the flip side, JT Realmuto's decline raises questions about the longevity of catchers in fantasy baseball. With so many catchers emerging, do you think it's time to reconsider how we value aging players at this demanding position? Is it worth taking a risk on Realmuto in 2025, or should we be looking at younger, more reliable options?
Garrett Mitchell is another intriguing case. His potential for a 25/25 season could make him a steal in drafts, but with his injury history, how do you weigh upside against risk? Are you willing to take a chance on players like him, or do you prefer safer picks for your bench spots?
Lastly, Matt Chapman seems to be on the verge of a resurgence. With his recent performance and newfound speed, could he be a top-6 third baseman next year? Or do you think the competition from younger players will keep him from reclaiming that status?
Let’s dive into these discussions! What are your thoughts on these players and their potential for the 2025 season? Who are you targeting in your drafts, and who are you avoiding?
