Draft Advice: Tips on player picks and team-building.
#8856
As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the excitement is palpable, but so are the uncertainties. With Opening Day just around the corner, the landscape of fantasy baseball is shifting rapidly. Let's dive into some intriguing storylines and see where the conversation takes us.

First off, how do you feel about the Detroit Tigers' pitching rotation? Tarik Skubal and Reese Olson are set to lead the charge, but with Alex Cobb sidelined, can the Tigers maintain their surprising postseason momentum from 2024? Jack Flaherty's return could be a game-changer, but is he being undervalued at his current ADP?

Speaking of undervalued players, Casey Mize has shown flashes of brilliance this spring. After a rocky return from Tommy John surgery, do you think he can reclaim his status as a top-tier pitcher? Or is his projected 4.23 ERA a sign of more struggles to come?

On the offensive side, Tyler Freeman's move to Coors Field has fantasy owners buzzing. Can he finally tap into his potential and become a sleeper pick? Conversely, Nolan Jones' return to Cleveland seems to have dampened his fantasy outlook. Is this a classic case of a player losing value due to a change in scenery?

Injuries are always a concern this time of year, and the news surrounding Jerar Encarnacion and Shane McClanahan is particularly troubling. How do you approach drafting players with injury histories? Are you more inclined to take risks on high-upside players, or do you prefer to play it safe with more reliable options?

Lastly, let's talk about the positional battles heating up. With Kristian Campbell seemingly securing the second base spot for the Red Sox, do you think he can live up to his minor league pedigree? And what about Matt Wallner? Is he poised for a breakout season, or is he just another flash in the pan?

As we prepare for the season ahead, what bold predictions do you have? Who are your must-have players, and who are you avoiding like the plague? Let's hear your thoughts and strategies as we embark on another thrilling fantasy baseball journey!
