Spring training is in full swing, and with it comes a wave of excitement and uncertainty as we analyze the performances of pitchers vying for rotation spots. The recent updates on various teams have sparked some intriguing narratives that could shape our fantasy strategies for the upcoming season.
Let's dive into the Atlanta Braves' decision to option Hurston Waldrep and Dylan Dodd to Triple-A. While it was expected, it opens the door for Royber Salinas. Is there potential here, or should we temper our expectations? What do you think about the Braves' depth in pitching and their approach to developing young talent?
Over in Kansas City, Alec Marsh's injury has created a potential opportunity for Kris Bubic, but could Noah Cameron or Daniel Lynch IV swoop in and steal the spotlight? Cameron's impressive velocity increase is certainly eye-catching. Are you willing to take a gamble on him in your drafts, or do you prefer to play it safe with more established options?
The Detroit Tigers are also in a bit of a pickle with Alex Cobb's recovery. If he struggles to return, who do you think will step up in the rotation? Is there a hidden gem among the backups that could surprise us?
And what about the Los Angeles Dodgers? With a crowded rotation and the potential for a six-man setup, how do you see this affecting the fantasy value of pitchers like Blake Snell and the newly acquired Yamamoto? Are you buying into the hype, or do you think the competition will dilute their value?
Lastly, let's talk about the statcast data. With pitchers like Max Scherzer showing promising velocity early on, do you think we should be more aggressive in targeting veterans who appear to be in good form? Or do you believe in the wait and see approach, especially with players who have a rough early schedule?
Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any hidden gems you’re keeping an eye on as we navigate through spring training!
