Title: The Second Base Conundrum: Are We Overlooking Hidden Gems for 2025?
Hey Fast Ball Talks community!
As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the conversation around second base is heating up. Traditionally viewed as the shallowest position, this year seems to be no different, with only a handful of players cracking the top 100. But is it time to rethink our strategy?
Let’s dive into some intriguing names that could be flying under the radar. Jordan Westburg, for instance, is generating buzz with his impressive expected stats and potential for power, especially with the Baltimore fences moving in. But can he truly capitalize on his speed and become a 30-homer threat?
Then there's Andrés Giménez, who’s looking for a fresh start in Toronto. With his ability to get on base and steal bags, could he emerge as a top-tier leadoff hitter? Or will his lack of power keep him from being a fantasy star?
And what about Zack Gelof? After a disappointing 2024, he still has the potential for a 20/30 season. Is he worth the risk, or should we steer clear given his contact issues?
Lastly, let’s not forget about Matt McLain, who has the talent to bounce back after a lost season. If he’s healthy, could he be a top-50 player?
I want to hear your thoughts! Are there any second basemen you’re targeting this draft season? Do you believe in the bounce-back potential of these players, or are you playing it safe with more established options?
Let’s get the conversation rolling!
