As we dive deeper into spring training, the landscape of fantasy baseball is shifting rapidly, and there are some intriguing storylines emerging that could have significant implications for our fantasy rosters.
First off, let's talk about the Orioles' rotation. With Albert Suárez and Cade Povich stepping into the sixth and seventh starter roles, how do you think this will impact the overall depth of the Orioles' pitching staff? Are they a team to watch for potential breakout performances, or do you think their rotation is still too shaky to rely on for fantasy purposes?
On the other hand, the Red Sox are facing a bit of a conundrum with Brayan Bello's shoulder issues. With Quinn Priester and Richard Fitts likely stepping in, do you see either of these pitchers as a viable option for fantasy leagues? Could this be a golden opportunity for them to establish themselves, or are they just placeholders until Bello returns?
Switching gears to the Dodgers, manager Dave Roberts has hinted that Shohei Ohtani may not replicate his previous season's numbers due to a more limited role as he returns to pitching. If Ohtani's at-bats and stolen bases decrease, how does that affect his value in your fantasy leagues? Are you still willing to draft him as a top-tier player, or do you think it's time to temper expectations?
Lastly, the Giants are taking a cautious approach with Bryce Eldridge, emphasizing the need for defensive readiness before his major league debut. If the Giants struggle offensively, do you think they’ll be forced to bring him up sooner than planned? How do you weigh the importance of defensive skills versus offensive potential when considering a prospect's readiness for the big leagues?
Let’s hear your thoughts! What bold predictions do you have for these players and teams as we approach the season? Are there any hidden gems or potential busts that you’re keeping an eye on?
