As we dive deeper into the 2025 season, the buzz around player performances and potential breakouts is heating up. With spring training in full swing, there are some intriguing storylines that could shape our fantasy rosters.
Take José Suarez, for instance. After shedding 20 pounds, he’s showing promise with a 2.57 ERA in spring training. Could this be the year he finally breaks out? Or is it just a mirage in the desert of spring training stats?
On the other hand, Lance McCullers Jr. is back and hitting 94 mph with his fastball. After a tough recovery from surgery, can he reclaim his spot as a top-tier pitcher? What are your thoughts on his potential impact this season?
Then there's Jorge Polanco, who is transitioning to third base while managing knee soreness. How do you think this positional change will affect his fantasy value? Is he still a must-have, or should we be cautious?
And let’s not forget about the closer situation in Arizona. With Kevin Ginkel, A.J. Puk, and Justin Martinez all vying for the role, who do you think will emerge as the go-to guy?
Lastly, Brandon Drury is shifting his approach back to focusing on contact rather than power. After a rough 2024 season, can he bounce back and be a reliable contributor?
What bold predictions do you have for these players? Are there any hidden gems in spring training that you believe could surprise us this season? Let’s hear your insights and experiences!
