Injuries are an inevitable part of baseball, but the recent news surrounding players like George Kirby, Gerrit Cole, and Gunnar Henderson has left many fantasy managers reeling. With Kirby starting the season on the IL due to shoulder inflammation, and Cole facing potential elbow surgery, how do you adjust your draft strategy?
Let’s talk about the implications of these injuries. Are you still willing to take a chance on Kirby if he falls to the later rounds, or is the risk too high? And what about Cole? Is it time to completely remove him from your draft board, or do you see value in trading for him if you can get him at a discount?
Gunnar Henderson’s intercostal strain raises another question: how do you weigh a player’s injury history against their potential upside? Henderson had a breakout season last year, but with this new injury, should he be considered a mid-first round pick or is he now a late second/early third round target?
And let’s not forget about Grayson Rodriguez, who seems to be a walking injury concern. With his latest triceps issue, is he still worth a late-round stash, or is it time to cut your losses?
Lastly, what are your thoughts on the trend of midsection injuries among players like Adolis Garcia and Sean Murphy? Are these signs of a larger issue in player conditioning, or just bad luck?
Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any personal experiences with drafting injury-prone players. How do you navigate the fine line between risk and reward in your fantasy leagues? Let’s dive into the discussion!
