With the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season just around the corner, there's a lot to unpack from the recent player movements and projections. One of the most intriguing storylines is the Cardinals' decision to shift Willson Contreras from catcher to first base. This change not only opens up a starting role for Ivan Herrera behind the plate but also raises questions about the potential impact on both players' fantasy value.
Contreras has been a reliable source of power, and with the possibility of dual eligibility at C and 1B, could he be a top-10 first baseman this season? Or will the transition hinder his performance? On the flip side, Herrera has shown promise in limited appearances. Can he step up and become a solid contributor in a position often lacking in offensive talent?
Then there's the buzz around Chandler Simpson of the Rays, who stole an impressive 73 bases last season. With his ability to get on base and a strong hit tool, could he be the next big thing in stolen bases? How do you see his potential compared to past speedsters like Billy Hamilton?
And what about the veteran presence of Yoan Moncada with the Angels? After a tumultuous few seasons, could he finally break out and reclaim his status as a top-tier third baseman?
As we dive into spring training, which players are you keeping an eye on? Are there any bold predictions you want to make about breakout candidates or potential busts? Let's hear your thoughts on these storylines and any other players you think could make waves this season!
