PFA, Adam Engel, SD No good reason to bid a buck, as someone else probably will and then drop him, so FAB him if someone gets hurt in your outfield and you need a few steals.

Morris is a repeat entrant this year and I could start his profile the exact same way given the similarities: Morris didnt get going until July due to shoulder soreness, but he was electric upon returning, with a blistering 41% K-BB rate in 21 minor league innings ahead of his September call-up. I just see retrenchment rather than advance until he makes that next adjustment.

If I knew the 14 SBs would repeat, hed rank higher because otherwise Springer is money to do what he does. I hope hes grateful. The 65th percentile is fast enough to steal 30 bases if he wants to, but he may stop at 10.

His 25 SBs should mostly hold up given his 87% success, but more are not bettable with 32nd% Sprint Speed. $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. 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. But I guess its all relative so there wouldnt be. Turns 32 in May and hes been around a bit, and still just 12% of his career PAs against lefties. No doubt Taveras is a burner, with 91st% Sprint Speed and a career 29-for-35 SB rate.

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. Hes still hacking, and a career 29.9% HH rate is very little to show for it. $6, Kik Hernndez, BOS Turns out that playing full-time for Boston did not make him a better hitter than when the Dodgers skimmed him all those years. Which overlooked pitchers have the skill set to come up with a big season? Maybe the Reds will make Solak a DH and be done with it, again it couldnt hurt. $25, two more in OBP leagues.

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. Platooning, he should earn his $9. 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.

What he lacks in swing-and-miss dominance, he makes up for with a heavy groundball lean (>50% across AA/AAA/MLB last year). I hope they dont think hes going to repeat his .307/.384/.497 line because his career reads .242/.327/.350.

What are the odds that the 2023 Oakland As set an all-time record for most players passing through? Worth a buck for sure if he makes the team, but that is unclear. Not a guy you want to hang your season on, but worth a shot somewhere. Bellingers Heat Map tells the tale: he can only hit a pitch in his wheelhouse, and his wheelhouse is small. He tore through Double-A (146 wRC+) and stayed strong in Triple-A (129) before the elbow flared up in late-July and cost him a month. . $14, Andrew Benintendi, CHW Good real player, but roto-limited if he doesnt land a prime lineup slot.

If every other surefire first-rounder needs to be kept, then so does Betts, who's not as old as you think he is, by the way.

Colas stateside debut saw him rip through High- and Double-A, capped with a nice week a Triple-A. The glove is unquestionably ready and should maintain his lineup spot even if the bat takes some time to come around, which does undercut his fantasy appeal in shallower formats, limiting him to a late or reserve round consideration. Hes vulnerable up in the zone, but who isnt.
