Injury Woes: How Will Alvarez's Surgery Impact Your Fantasy Draft Strategy?

by UltimateFan » Tue Mar 11, 2025 3:35 am
As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the recent news about Francisco Alvarez's injury has sent shockwaves through the fantasy community. Missing 6-8 weeks after hamate surgery is a significant setback for a player who has been a powerhouse behind the plate, slugging 36 home runs over the past two seasons. For those who have already drafted, this is a tough pill to swallow. But for those yet to draft, could this be an opportunity to snag a high-upside player later in the draft?

Let’s dive into the catchers who could fill the void left by Alvarez. Hunter Goodman, Endy Rodriguez, Bo Naylor, and Miguel Amaya are all intriguing options, each with their own unique potential. Goodman’s spring performance has been impressive, and he could be a high-risk, high-reward pick. Meanwhile, Naylor is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season, and Amaya is heating up just in time for the season.

What are your thoughts on stashing injured players like Alvarez? Is it worth the risk to draft him early, or would you rather play it safe and go for a catcher who can contribute right away?

Additionally, let’s talk about breakout candidates. Michael Harris has been on my radar as a potential 20/20 player if he can stay healthy. Do you think he can reclaim his rookie form, or is he destined for another disappointing season?

And what about the pitching landscape? With players like Pablo Lopez struggling this spring, is it time to consider trading him for a bat? Or do you believe in his ability to turn things around once the regular season starts?

Let’s hear your predictions, strategies, and any hidden gems you’re eyeing for your fantasy teams this season!
