As we dive into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the injury bug is already making its rounds, and it’s got us all on edge. With key players like Gunnar Henderson and Luis Gil facing potential setbacks, how do you approach drafting in this uncertain landscape?
Let’s talk about the implications of these injuries. For instance, if Henderson’s oblique issue lingers, how does that affect your strategy? Are you willing to take a risk on him if he falls in drafts, or do you think it’s better to play it safe and target other elite options?
Luis Gil’s shoulder tightness is another concern. Given that shoulder injuries can be tricky for pitchers, do you think it’s wise to completely remove him from your draft board, or is there a chance he could still be a valuable pick later in the draft?
And what about veterans like Sean Manaea and Freddie Freeman? With Manaea’s oblique strain and Freeman’s cautious return from ankle surgery, how do you weigh their potential against the risk of injury? Are you more inclined to stash them on your IL, or do you think there are better options available?
Let’s not forget about the impact of these injuries on team dynamics. How do you see the Yankees and Mets adjusting their rotations? Will Marcus Stroman or Clarke Schmidt step up in a big way, or are there other under-the-radar players we should keep an eye on?
Finally, with the season just around the corner, what bold predictions do you have for players who might surprise us despite these injury concerns?
Share your thoughts, strategies, and any experiences you’ve had with drafting injured players in the past. Let’s get the conversation rolling!
