As we dive into the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the excitement is palpable with the first full day of games in the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues just behind us. With fantasy drafts heating up, it's the perfect time to discuss some intriguing players and bold predictions that could shape our rosters this year.
Let's start with Chris Sale. After a stellar Grapefruit League debut, tossing two perfect innings with an impressive fastball velocity, he’s projected to strike out 200 batters this season. With an ADP of 4.01, is he a steal or a potential risk? How do you feel about investing early in pitchers with injury histories?
Then there's Elly De La Cruz, who made headlines by homering from both sides of the plate in his first game. His combination of power and speed is tantalizing, but with a high strikeout rate, can he truly live up to his ADP of 1.04? Is he worth the hype, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?
On the trade front, rumors swirl around Nolan Arenado potentially moving to Houston. If this trade goes through, how much of an impact do you think it will have on his power numbers? Could a change of scenery be the spark he needs to return to elite form?
And what about the under-the-radar players like Zack Gelof and Maikel Garcia? Both have shown flashes of potential but come with their own set of challenges. Are they worth taking a chance on in the later rounds, or should we steer clear?
Lastly, let’s not forget about the consistency of players like Jose Altuve and the rising star potential of Gunnar Henderson. With Altuve moving to left field, how do you see his value changing? And can Henderson really break out and become an MVP candidate this season?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who are you targeting in your drafts? What bold predictions do you have for the 2025 season? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
