Ohtani's Dilemma: Top 400 SP Rankings for 2025 - Are You Ready to Draft?
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2025 2:02 pm
As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the debate around the top starting pitchers is heating up, and I want to hear your thoughts! With the recent rankings released, there are some intriguing names that could make or break your draft strategy.
First off, let's talk about Shohei Ohtani. If your league allows him to be a two-way player, he’s a no-brainer first overall pick. But if he’s split into two separate players, how do you value him given the potential for a slow start? Are you willing to take the risk of having him sit on your bench for the first month?
Then there's Hunter Greene, who had a stellar 2024 but is facing regression. With his injury history and the potential for a return to his 2023 form, is he a high-risk, high-reward pick, or should we steer clear?
Carlos Rodón is another name that stands out. After a rocky June, he seemed to find his groove again. Can he maintain that momentum into 2025, or are we looking at another rollercoaster season?
And what about Kodai Senga? After battling injuries, he showed flashes of brilliance. Is he a sleeper pick that could outperform his draft position, or is the injury risk too much to ignore?
Lastly, let’s not forget about Yu Darvish. His 2023 was a disaster, but can we chalk that up to an outlier season? With his track record, is he a bargain in the mid-late rounds, or should we be cautious?
I want to hear your bold predictions for these pitchers and any others you think could surprise us this season. Who are you targeting in your drafts, and who are you avoiding? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
