As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the conversation around potential busts is heating up. This week, we’re diving into some players who might not live up to their draft positions, and I want to hear your thoughts!
First up is Willy Adames. After a career year in 2024, many are expecting him to replicate that success. But with a move to San Francisco, a park known for suppressing power, and a sudden spike in stolen bases that seems unsustainable, could we be looking at a significant regression? Is it wise to invest in a player whose previous performance might have been an outlier?
Then there's Mark Vientos, who dazzled in 2024 but comes with major red flags. His high HR/FB rate and struggles against certain pitch types raise questions about his ability to maintain that production. Are you willing to take the risk on a player with such volatility, or would you rather play it safe with more stable options?
And let’s not forget about James Wood. His immense potential is undeniable, but with a low launch angle and high strikeout rate, can we really expect him to break out this year? Is it worth spending a top-four round pick on a player who might not deliver immediate returns?
I want to hear from you! Who are your top candidates for busts this season? Are there any players you think are being undervalued or overvalued based on their current ADP? Let’s get the debate rolling!
