As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, there are some intriguing storylines and players that could shape our drafts and strategies. Let's dive into a few key players and their potential impact, and I want to hear your thoughts!
First up, Matt Shaw's debut with the Cubs has certainly caught my eye. Despite a rough start in Japan, his multi-positional eligibility and impressive minor league stats (31 steals and 21 homers) make him a tempting option at a 229 ADP. Do you think Shaw can live up to the hype and become a fantasy star this season? Or is it too early to trust a rookie, especially one who struggled in his first series?
On the other hand, we have Mike Trout, who has been a fantasy cornerstone for years. However, with his recent injury history and the Angels' lackluster lineup, can he still be a reliable pick at his current ADP? Will he hit those 35 homers we expect, or will he continue to frustrate fantasy managers with low RBI numbers?
Then there's the case of Luis Robert, who had a breakout year in 2023 but fell flat in 2024. With his strikeout rate soaring, can he bounce back to his previous form? Or is he a player to avoid in drafts this year?
And let's not forget about the potential of players like Brice Turang, who stole 50 bases last season but lacks power. Is he a valuable asset in points leagues, or are you better off looking for more balanced players?
Lastly, what are your thoughts on the injury concerns surrounding Yu Darvish and Tyler Stephenson? Are they worth the risk, or should we steer clear of players with health issues?
I want to hear your bold predictions for the 2025 season! Who are you targeting in your drafts, and who are you avoiding? Let's get the conversation going!
