$21, Kris Bryant, COL No real reason he should be the 26th outfielder off the board and not the 15th. A pitcher with a low FIP but a high ERA has most likely been unlucky and should be targeted. Cody Bellinger, CHC Racking whats left of my brain trying to think of another in-his-prime MVP who so completely tanked. Coulter may or may not qualify at catcher, he played more outfield in Triple-A, but .297/.377/.533 at Memphis with just 16% Ks suggests that there may be some bloom on the rose. The 23-year-old righty was limited to just 76 innings last year thanks to a lat injury but dominated while healthy. His SB time to second base was Top 10. Expert Consensus Ranking (4 of 9 Experts) - Feb 23, 2023 Pick Experts Position Overall View Import a Team Eligibility Practice fast mock drafts with our free Draft Simulator >> MLB Rankings Draft. Reserve B. Kyle Garlick, MIN Too much nothing, not enough all. The new Camden Yards is less of a problem for a switch-hitter, plus hes in a better lineup now all year. This really shouldnt be. $3, Robbie Grossman, TEX Lifetime .790 OPS vs. lefties probably dictates his role. Perhaps too passive definitely hits too many groundballs but worth an eye. A big key for the Three True Outcomes guys is opposite field power, which Stowers has. Only at a price in AL leagues. Reserve B, maybe. Ricky Tiedemann | LHP, TOR | 570 ADP Tiedemanns eye-popping debut (2.17 ERA, 0.86 ERA, 29% K-BB in 79 IP at A/A+/AA) has him firmly in the conversation for the best lefty pitching prospect in baseball and at least getting some consideration for the overall best. Though he's not my choice to be drafted No. The PCL ate Jameson up thanks to a 1.7 HR/9 and .351 BABIP, but he was able to put a cherry on top of his season with a sharp September call-up. Teoscar Hernndez, SEA The balanced schedule levels all divisional edges, but a home park is still a home park. Certainly worth a buck if he makes the team. Not safe from disappointment. I wouldnt swing either. Conforto will do well to slug .450 with the ballpark haunting him, plus the Giants will jerk him around at least some. Fantasy Baseball: Top 50 keepers for 2023 based on last year's average draft position (ADP) Rankings for leagues that make you forfeit something to keep a player By Scott White Dec 21, 2022. Andrew McCutchen, PIT He will never lose his game awareness, and since hes running as fast as ever, maybe we should expect a SB spike. But I guess its all relative so there wouldnt be. Reserve B, Nelson Velzquez, CHC Power appears to be developing, and has a little speed, but appalling strikeouts even in the minors. I think that makes even 20 SBs questionable. As you drive it down. He didnt do a ton in his major league debut (76 wRC+) after clubbing 23 homers in Double- and Triple-A for Minnesota and Cincinnati. The 2022 fantasy baseball season is now headed into its final few weeks. This ADP is probably underselling where he was drafted in keeper leagues last year, but no matter the extent of the discount, it's a welcome one for a 22-year-old already in the No. Some just ask you to pick your best players, without any thought as to what you invested in them, but the way I see it, that's what regular rankings are for. Position eligibility is determined based upon a minimum of 20 games, otherwise the position the player appeared at most . The numbers game could push his debut to the summer, as all three of the other fifth starter contenders are already on the 40-man and have more Triple-A experience than Pfaadt. Between Clase and Diaz, I'd go the other way in a redraft league, but in a keeper format, I'll give the edge to the guy four years Diaz's youth. Any hitter with 115 major league PAs has disappointment potential, even some disaster potential, even with a minor league line as good as Carrolls .310/.426/.588, with 52 SBs in 142 games. Triston McKenzie reduced his BB/9 from 4.35 to 2.07 in 2022, skyrocketing up fantasy rankings and boosting the . PFA, George Valera, CLE Terry Francona and the organization have turned hard away from the strikeout. PFA, Niko Goodrum, BOS From either side, all he can hit are pitches middle middle. PFA, Steven Duggar, LAD I guess hes a reclamation project, but all there is to reclaim so far are strikeouts. 5 starter mix, especially with Kyle Hendricks slated to miss the start of the season. 2 and no. I cant stop thinking of him as a lefty. A decent reserve pick in mixed leagues. Brad Miller, TEX Supposedly going to get strong-side platoon PAs, but he looked finished to me (.596 OPS vs. righties) and his leash wont be long. For sure, he must improve his 31.8% Ks. If the markup is more than just a couple rounds for Clase and Diaz, Williams might actually be a better keeper if you're willing to trust he's locked into the closer role, which he seems to be. Jung returned from his shoulder injury with a free-swinging approach that saw him turn up the power with a .274 ISO and 9 HR in 135 MiLB plate appearances plus another 5 HR and .214 in his 102 plate appearance debut at the cost of his plate approach. One or two of the hitters in this range will explode this year, its almost inevitable, and the power/speed guys are a reasoned peg to hang our hats on, as long as theyre cheap enough. Whether they play him every day is another matter. All of those will regress a bit with the transition to MLB but that still leaves plenty to like, especially at his very fair draft price. He's the most likely first-round pick other than Julio Rodriguez to be kept for something less, and he's well worth it, being nearly as strong as Aaron Judge but also five years younger. Top 300 Rankings for 2022 "Elig. Will likely get a full shot to play, which means you cant go far wrong for $4. A better season is not unlikely. Around two weeks in, a torn UCL in his thumb required surgery and ended his season. There is still some risk that he starts the year in Triple-A, though that is covered by a fair draft price. Batters. . That said, theres no reason he cant pop 20+ HRs with a .250+ AVG as a strong side platoon first baseman. $9, Austin Hays, BAL Unsuited to the new dimensions at Camden Yards, and if hes not going to hit 20+ HRs, hes not good enough to play. $10, Austin Meadows, DET He was going in the fifth round just two years ago were still waiting for his first full season. He has a chance to win the right field job assuming that Eloy Jimenez is the DH, the competition is Gavin Sheets, who I kinda like, but so what. More value in mono leagues if he stays healthy, which he hasnt since 2018. I do worry about his BA with all the swings and misses, and without improvement I cap him at last years .284. There is some raw pop there, so the bat shouldnt just get knocked out of his hand. $1, Willi Castro, MIN Ks down to 21% but it didnt help. Excellent reserve pick in mixed leagues. Figure he bounces back some and still thats not much. Im a huge fan of Brown, and while he is currently penciled in as the no. PFA, Khalil Lee, NYM Had 33% Ks at Syracuse, and nothing will happen until that changes drastically. Please note: Thesepricesare for standard 55, $260 NL- or AL-only leagues. Absurd minor league production makes Carroll a tough projection because even with proper regression, it seems like he could go 20 HR/40 SB in 600 PA at the high end. PFA, Cal Stevenson, OAK Lots of gaudy stats in Las Vegas last year the whole team hit .274/.359/.452. $25, two more in OBP leagues. He had a 2.59 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 28% K rate, and 9% BB rate in 1,089 innings. It will surge into the low-100s and possibly even the Top 100 if he tears up the Grapefruit League and wins a roster spot before draft season is over. Two big corrections coming, fairly screaming 28 HRs. Reserve B, Ben Deluzio, CHC Blazing speed, .290/.361/.412 in six minor league seasons, almost no chance to start but some chance to make the team and kick in a few bags. Bobby Miller & Gavin Stone | RHPs, LAD | 480, 510 ADP. To his credit, he spent the winter at Driveline. He is hit tool over power, which puts a full season projection somewhere in the .260s/14-17 HR range, and he could push a double-digit SB total as an opportunistic thief who could take full advantage of the new rule changes despite unremarkable raw speed. Stole 34 bases in 135 games across three levels, including 44 games for KC. And no shifting should help him. $4, Austin Slater, SF Functional on the weak side of a platoon, but has trouble staying on the field. On August 4, his slash was .317/.356/.460. This way at least makes it more fun to argue. He's my top choice for 2023 after being far and away the best player in 2022, so even if the markup elevates his keeper cost to Round 1, it's worth it. Royce Lewis | SS, MIN | 456 ADP A re-torn ACL will delay the start to his 2023, but he is expected to fill a super-utility role with infield and outfield capability while being a power/speed asset. 2004-2023 CBS Interactive. It will just be limited. Therefore in mixed leagues there is only one sin: overpaying for mediocrity. Eduardo Escobar remains penciled in as the starting third baseman, but a $9.5 million contract isnt a must-play everyday salary and if Baty cooks in Triple-A, he should be an early call-up with high impact potential. He has won both LABR and Tout Wars and has evolved over the years to also analyze DFS games. Still capable of helping us fill a hole. $1. Paul is the Editor of Rotographs and contributes to ESPN's Daily Notes. This is certainly not bettable. $3, Chris Taylor, LAD Worry that his slugging fell below .400 well below at .373. This risks his BA, but then Friedl is also a pull hitter and should pick up a few hits from no shifting. Put it this way: if there is one them who will win all five roto cats this year, Julio has the best chance. A great spring might change my mind, if it continues into late March, but right now hes a Reserve B, which means I dont get him since hell take money. Mike Siani, CIN At press time, all thats standing between Siani and center field in Cincinnati is Nick Senzel and possibly Will Benson. The control issues (11% MiLB BB rate) were no doubt exacerbated by the balky shoulder. Be careful. We publish player rankings by position throughout January - with projections and thoughts next to each player. $1. Not a great play in NL leagues where you might get stuck with him, but certainly a good reserve pick in mixed leagues, possibly an OF5 if desperate. Anyway, Bleday is gone to Oakland, but with no speed to speak of, hes going nowhere until he dramatically reduces his 28.2% Ks. Play ESPN fantasy baseball for free. Even in 2021, he had a .485 and a .650 among monthly splits that averaged out to his .816. $9, Juan Yepez, STL I have him pegged somewhere between Avisail Garcia and Marcel Ozuna. One more chance. 12 team 55 roto keeper league. 2022 fantasy baseball rankings and projections for redraft and dynasty leagues, compiled from the best and most-accurate sources in the industry. And, of course, he plays streaky, which shows up repeatedly in his year-to-year numbers. I've then converted that ADP into a round number (presuming a 12-team league) and determined how eager I am to keep that player relative to that round. Hes got a lefty name. $9, Jake Fraley, CIN Gargantuan platoon split after 582 PAs .797 to .476. Plays at age 26 so all hope is not lost worth a shot as an OF5 in mixed leagues. $8, Bryan De La Cruz, MIA Has talent, some pop and a little speed, ranked #1 in Sweet Spot percentage (batted balls between 8and 32), which somewhat correlates to batting average. $6, Jack Suwinski, PIT Plenty of Three True Outcomes but unfortunately the Ks have the upper hand at this time. Which doesnt mean they wont try it again, which tilts me back to conservative for 2023. Kyle Muller | LHP, OAK | 477 ADP Dont sweat his ugly 12 innings with Atlanta, as his 135 innings at Triple-A tell more of the story and not just because they were good! Actually, I like having players I hate, as long as the price is right, of course. Sal Perez led in BOTH last season with 48 and 121 respectively. The average draft position (ADP) included is from Draft Champions leagues from January 19 to February 19 at the NFBC, which you can find here.These leagues draft 50 players and that's all they get for the year no pickups or drops. Stole his first base on May 4 and his second on August 12 (ouch!). Stowers has a good chance for strong side platoon PAs, and .260 with 25 HRs is a good long shot. That means all the relevant prospects get selected, which helps give us an idea of how the market views them. If you do it, and he does it, you probably beat me. That would mean about a 325-PA over/under. In early February, before the start of Spring Training, we started our 2023 draft preparations by . Jul 6, 2022 We have several experts that maintain updated dynasty rankings to help you stay on top of dynasty player trade value throughout the year. See what happens right now hes a Reserve A, but could be worth a double-digit bid by draft day. Valera puts a hurt on the baseball but 26% Ks at Double-A will not play in Cleveland. A worthy speculation if he does. Check out our MLB Fantasy Baseball Rankings and Player Stats for each position at Yahoo Sports He probably could have used more time in Triple-A. Tyler Naquin MIL They come, they go. Eloy Jimnez, CHW Quietly back on track double his numbers in 84 games and youve got a star. It was a close call between him and Christian Walker, two of 2022's biggest overachievers at first base, and ultimately it came down to Lowe being four years younger. Bats left, and opportunities abound. And he plays a mean rocknroll guitar. 1 overall pick in 2023. Peace through hatred. 2021 came with a step-back in command, and his need for Tommy John surgery quickly became apparent. Still a foundational hitter, but not a first-rounder. Its probably just me, sorry to burden you. No shifts can only help so much. $26. Also qualifies at first base. All four of the big sources I checked Baseball-Reference, Fangraphs, Yahoo and ESPN have Morel weighing 145 pounds, which is very wrong. If I had to pick first, Id take Rodrguez, because I think right now hes the best five-cat hitter of the bunch. There could be a problem here besides the 24.6% strikeouts, which are not terrible: Eaton was a 45.6% fly-ball hitter with a lowly 27.5% hard-hit rate. So what I've done here is review every player's average draft position from last year, both in 5x5 leagues (using FantasyPros data) and in points leagues (using CBS Sports data). Reserve B, Trevor Larnach, MIN Big guy, first-rounder in 2018, but his minor league line of .292/.374/.450 is that of a doubles hitter. Theyve given him a couple of extended looks but 33.5% Ks will not get it done. The Royals have wasted three years not finding out. His strikeouts improved considerably, from 32.4% to 25.8%, but thats still way too many for a burner. He definitely had a problem with lefties (.649 OPS), which is not terrible and wont keep him out of the lineup given his stellar defense, but figure hell bat ninth against them. All Rights Reserved. The Rankings Process Dynasty rankings are no perfect science. Remember that Ha-Seong Kim came from the KBO with similar production (22 HR/600 PA, .199 ISO) and has hit just 17 HR with a .138 ISO in 880 PA. That said, NPB is a more challenging league than the KBO, so Yoshida wont necessarily dip all the way to Kims level. His Sprint Speed has fallen far, from 95.8% in 2020 to 65th% in 2022, with an intermediate 73rd% in 2021. Before counting one dollar, he received admiration and honor, which are worth more than money to many, many human beings. Series Navigation. I know, ONeill has 30/30 ability if he can only get to it, but at pick 108 youre betting on 25/25 with a .250 BA. PFA, Travis Swaggerty, PIT See above. His walk rate improved every step up, too, with an 11% mark at A-ball, 5% at High-A, and just 2% in that scintillating Double-A stop. $9. A hamstring injury may well have been the cause of his big Sprint Speed dip from 88th% to 66th%. Thats my bet anyway. His Sprint Speed is still 95th%. Tucker is not a big OBP guy so it makes some sense, but he only scored 71 Runs. This cost makes for an incredible discount for a guy likely to be drafted in Round 5 or so this year, but seeing as he's about to turn 30 and has major plate discipline issues, I question how long you'll get to savor said discount. Good deep league reserve. Two major players are coming over from Japans NPB and while they arent traditional prospects who came through MLBs minor league system, they will still be treated as standard issue rookies for fantasy baseball purposes. $39, one less in OBP leagues. Hes therefore safe for about 18 SBs, and 27 are a whole lot more likely than nine. Ohtani is more like a late first-rounder than an early-first rounder, at least in a weekly league where you have to choose between his hitting and pitching stats, but he's lived up to it two years in a row and is still in his prime at 28. It used to be true that players ran faster on artificial turf, and it probably still is. I always have a handful of players whose handedness I constantly mix up. Matt Vierling, DET Probably gets a chance to play every day the Tigers are anxious to show everyone that they too look at Baseball Savant, where Vierling flashes deep red in Sprint Speed and HH%. Of course, he can do it again, and more, and its encouraging that while with the Astros he was a 61% base stealer with the Blue Jays hes at 86%. Improved his Ks to 19.8%, so a neutral BA is pretty safe, and 20 HRs are well within reach in his new home park. $22. Not punchless, the question again is strikeouts. I struggle with how to handle prospects for this list, ultimately coming down on the side of less is more since it's a top 50 and not a catalog of everyone worth considering, but Rodriguez is a special case. There arent enough players with todays four-man benches somebody has to play the whole game. What are flukes are that he only slugged .368 at home and only slugged .377 against lefties. PFA, Steele Walker, DET His third organization in the past year. Now 26, and was drafted in the second round by a fourth team, the White Sox. The power that appeared to be developing age 26 so theres not a lot of time left glaringly did not translate. $6, Mike Yastrzemski, SF Give him credit, as almost no one thought hed even make the majors much less succeed, but I fear he has settled into a player who is not good enough even to platoon. Of course, that doesnt guarantee anything and if he keeps pitching like he did in 2022, he can leapfrog his org mates. Figure hell bat ninth though, and anything better is gravy. Bader is perfectly capable of stealing 30 bases, indeed I might expect it if he hit seventh, but then he has yet to play a full season. PFA, Mickey McDonald, OAK Non-prospect at 28. Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs. The upside is rich while the downside is an extended trip back to Triple-A. What hes not is good enough to play anymore. This is a body that has been through the wars. Tristan H. Cockcroft's 9-part "Playbook" lays out how to go from fantasy baseball novice to expert in one season. Can the Lions fix their defense? They made such a big deal out of trading for him but hes been the odd man out ever since. Blackmon could probably still hit .300 poking the ball around Coors Field, but at last look he was still muscling up, and if it continues I fear his rising Ks and falling hard hits will only get worse. $1. So why am I nervous? $5, but Im not at all sure Id pay it, certainly not until recovery is confirmed from his broken toe. Harrison isnt in the mix to break camp with a starting role, but hes a near-lock to make his big league debut in 2023. Definitely worth an eye, and still young at 22. Hunter Renfroe, LAA I keep harping on the streakiness of high-K/high-FB hitters, so I must admit when a hitter contradicts it. Barring a major improvement there, he is likely to spend most of 2023 in the upper minors, which is fine because hes just 21 years old. Christopher Morel, CHC Also qualifies at second base, with 18 games at third base and 13 at shortstop. Again, I can't make a list that applies perfectly to everyone. What is appropriate for Steven Kwan is not cool for the putative best hitter in the game. $7, Wil Myers, CIN Still dangerous against a lefty and still a good glove in right field. What he lacks in swing-and-miss dominance, he makes up for with a heavy groundball lean (>50% across AA/AAA/MLB last year). Duran doesnt have enough power to justify 28% Ks, but he does have excellent speed and might help the team more by hitting singles. NFL draft questions for teams in the top 10: Will the Colts trade up? The As are not rich in possibilities at the outfield corners. The question is whether its still predictable, and I vote very probably. If hes pushing into the 20s with his HR and SB, no one will care if it comes with a .250s AVG. Status. Up and in was another story. PFA, Alex Call, WAS I guess 54/54 is notable in 523 minor league games, especially without a big strikeout problem in the majors or minors. $5, Yadiel Hernndez, WAS No question hes a major league hitter, and an adventure in left field, but it could have been worse. At age 32, after hitting .232 and slugging .382 for the past five injury-riddled years, Im not budging off my original price. He should never face a lefty, but he can hit home runs in Oracle Park like few lefties can. Bobby Witt Jr.'s arrival in the Kansas City Royals lineup has been one of the most anticipated debuts in Major League Baseball. Then again, this is about the easiest problem for a hitter to solve. In mixed leagues of 18 teams or fewer, regular players and good lefty platoon hittersmust be available at the end for $1, or as reserves or free agents, not to mention rotation starters, not to mention quality middle relievers by the bucketful. This is not good. $1, Ben Gamel, TB Im not happy if it comes to this. The low AVG dropped the hype a bit on Casas despite the fact that it was clearly BABIP-fueled (or suppressed, as it were) given his palatable 24% K rate and even better 10% SwStr rate. $16, one more in OBP leagues. My general rule on first-year international hitters is to start with them as average hitters ($11) and adjust a few bucks up or down, individually as more becomes known. Plus, the Cards are loaded with outfield talent. Bautista went from no-name rookie to possibly lights-out closer at a time when closers are more coveted than ever, and while he still has to prove longevity, the discount is massive. Feb 28, 2023. Then again, that's true for all Fantasy advice. The deeper you look, the less there is here, a total hacker who has learned nothing in 11 years, and is a liability in the field. Find rankings by league and position, and follow players' current stats at their level. I don't know how you don't keep him unless you're just stacked with young studs. Or rather, Ill take him on one mixed league team if the price is low enough, and stay far away in an AL league. One imagines that the Sox would very much like to see far fewer PAs. $6, Dylan Carslon, STL Career OPS vs. lefties is .869, vs. righties its .686. Farm teams: Does your league include minor league/farm-team slots and how are these players factored into the keeper system? Decent reserve pick in mixed leagues if you need what hes got, but keep looking. There are workload and durability concerns, however. Will Brennan, CLE A great risk-reducer in mono leagues is to identify those hitters most likely to get more PAs this year. Suffice it to say he would place even higher in rankings specific to points leagues, where his unrivaled capacity for innings makes him a clear first-rounder. $11, Jorge Soler, MIA If hes finished it means he was finished after his age 28 season, and that would be pretty rare. Sheets has good power and something of a hit tool, but his problem has been recognizing balls and strikes. There is a pretty fair chance that Acua will be the No. Cade Cavalli | RHP, WAS | 456 ADP A shoulder injury limited his debut to just one uninspired outing instead of the month and a half he was slated to get. Charlie Blackmon, COL Well, duh, he exercised his $18M option. Kirilloff handled lefties well in 2021, not last year, but only 30 PAs. Number of keepers: How many players can you keep each year, and must every team keep the same number? $15, Ian Happ, CHC Hitting lefties better, and anytime anyone improves almost anything in the major leagues its significant. As for his BA, I think his recent showing (.297 the past two years) is where to start now that the umps are calling the bottom of his strike zone more accurately. Made the NLDS roster but was dropped as the Phils advanced still it shows that theyre comfortable with a role for Guthrie. Its relative, not much difference in the roto standings, I daresay. Hes done well for me in DFS, and thats part of it. There is no margin for error at that point, or rather youre hoping for 25/40 but youre paying for 20/30. Adolis Garca, TEX Its hard to keep faith with all his swing and miss, but I see no getting around what Garca has done. $30, two less in OBP leagues. This is a Coors park effect, of course, but there he still is, and hitting in a prime lineup slot. Nick Pollack 3/21/2022 . 2 and no. Gavin Williams | RHP, CLE | 660 ADP The oft-injured righty had a wonderful pro debut (1.96 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 24% K in 115 IP at A+/AA) and resides in the pitching factory that is the Guardians organization. , vs. righties its.686 now headed into its final few weeks at..., certainly not until recovery is confirmed from his broken toe this risks his BA all!
