As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the injury updates and player projections are starting to shape our draft strategies. With key players like Bobby Witt Jr. and Ronald Acuña facing injury concerns, how do you think these situations will impact their draft stock? Are they still worth a top pick, or should we be cautious?
Speaking of caution, George Kirby's shoulder inflammation has him starting the season on the IL. He was a top-12 pitcher before the injury, but now he’s likely to drop significantly in drafts. How do you approach drafting pitchers with injury histories? Is it better to play it safe or take a risk on a potential ace?
On the flip side, Spencer Strider is on track for a late-April return, and his previous performance suggests he could be a league-winner if he returns to form. Do you think he’s being undervalued in drafts? What’s your strategy for targeting players coming back from injury?
And let’s not forget about the potential breakout candidates like Ryan Weathers, who has reportedly improved his velocity and mechanics. Are you willing to take a chance on players who show signs of significant improvement in spring training, or do you prefer to stick with proven commodities?
Lastly, with the changes in home ballparks, like Yandy Diaz benefiting from the new dimensions at George M. Steinbrenner Field, how much weight do you put on park factors when drafting? Are there any players you’re particularly excited about because of these changes?
Let’s hear your thoughts, predictions, and strategies as we dive into this fantasy season!
