As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the excitement is palpable, especially with Opening Day just around the corner. With the recent discussions around stolen bases and the players who could make a significant impact in that category, I want to dive deeper into the strategy of targeting steals in your drafts.
We've seen some intriguing names pop up, like Ryan Bliss and Caleb Durbin, who could be game-changers for those in deeper leagues. Bliss, with his potential for 20-30 steals, and Durbin, who stole 60 bases last year, are definitely worth considering. But here's where I want to spark a conversation:
What are your thoughts on the importance of stolen bases in today's fantasy landscape? Are they becoming a lost art, or do you believe they still hold significant value?
Additionally, with players like Chandler Simpson boasting 80-grade speed and a staggering 104 stolen bases in the minors, how do you approach stashing such players? Is it worth holding onto a player with no power but elite speed, or do you prioritize immediate contributors?
And let's not forget about the potential impact of managerial changes and team dynamics on these players' opportunities. How much weight do you give to a player's situation when drafting for steals?
Lastly, I want to hear your bold predictions for the upcoming season. Which under-the-radar players do you think could emerge as the next big steal threats?
Let's get the conversation rolling! Share your insights, experiences, and any strategies you have for navigating the steals category this season.
