Small sample size makes it tough to evaluate some of these performances. You gotta think his ADP is gonna climb all preseason as long as he seems healthy.
Bo Bichette in the top 25? I missed that breakout
He did great last year until he got dinged up and COVID. He was one of my steals.
He is now surrounded by some power which is going to get him more plate appearances and opportunities.
Is he top 25? Close. He is a top 3 or 4 SS, no doubt and that's a thin position. I would take him over Bregman. Bregman is a SS/3B in my league.
I was a Bregman fanboy a couple years ago. He's still only 26 (almost 27). Looks like Bregs could have suffered a bit from small sample size last year (.256 BABIP, Hard Hit % down). I think I might be interested still, esp at a discounted price from 2019/2020
Also might have suffered from not knowing what pitch was coming...
I’m definitely interested in ole Randy. Didn’t he get into some wife beating or something in the off-season though? Is he gonna have a suspension?
He made the top 100 players in baseball but I don’t think he’s anything more than a 270 hitter in an average lineup. OP draft my boy Yaz. I graduated with him in HS
Grandal?
Mike Yastrzemski
Figured it was one or the other. Was his dad Carl or was that his uncle or something?
Edit: Grandson, Google is my friend
grandfather
Mike’s had a really interesting career trajectory. He had pretty solid stats during the shortened season last year. Seen he is listed at a the #61 overall OF on one of the fangraphs list
MLB.com has him top 50. He took awhile to make the majors but the game is starting to slow down for him. Think he was a 4 year guy at vandy and has been a regular in the show since 2019. He’ll be steady again this year because unlike most 30 year olds he’s still in his prime.
What makes you say that? Had a healthy career?
yeah he’s still like 27 in MLB years. He’s not entirely figured out nor complacent
I see that Wander Franco has finally attained the crown of top prospect (I think it was always expected, but sometimes these things don't play out like you would think).
Prospects TLDR: Franco is as good as a prospect can get, checking every box on a performance, scouting, and analytical level.
I'm moving from a dynasty format to a redraft format so I'm gonna have to learn to stay away from all these prospects

Soto is an animal. I remember the debate between him and Acuna early on. It always seemed like acuna ran away with it, but Soto is very close
I am....hope he’s okay for opening day
Eloy Jiménez Is Strong
Jiménez led baseball in opposite-field barrels last year. Is this some unique skill, or merely a byproduct of his many other talents?
Should I trade Gavin Lux for Ohtani (batter)?
Other 2bs include: Biggio, Dubon, Ownings

4/2/21 MLB Daily Fantasy Sports/Beat The Streak Predictions:
For Beat the Streak, I like Xander Bogaerts, Fernando Tatis jr, AJ Pollock (in that order).
For DFS, the Dodgers all have 6 guys (Pollock, Bellinger, Turner, Seager, Beaty, Taylor) that hit 0.250 AVG and above with a total of 4 hrs against Antonio Senzatela. I like the Dodgers to win based on the hitting matchup and Bauer on the mound.

Any particular reasoning?
Ohtani is injury prone. Only plays a few days a week best case and is only util eligible. I’d want more for lux
How does this work again?
Download the free MLB Beat the Streak App. Each day you select up to two batters to get a hit. If you get to 57 in a row (never been done in history of game) breaking Joe DiMaggio’s 56 hit streak, you win $5.6 million. Even if you don’t get 57, the longest hit streak of the year over 20 hits wins $10,000.
Yoan Moncado and Mike Yastrzemski for me

Freeman - 0 for 3 wheeler buzz saw
Molina - 1 for 3
