Top 500 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings – End of Season Update!

Hi. It appears the “Level” column is off for many players, e.g., Pablo Lopez, Cam Smith, Triston Casas all listed at A+.

I’m seeing a lot of issues/errors with this list. Like Triston Casas gaining +16 in the rankings but under performing before exiting with a season long knee injury. It also says he is at A+ and not MLB.

Roman Anthony dropped a bunch as well. The kid is the top hitting prospect in baseball and has been mashing. A lot of other questionable takes here. This list must have populated incorrectly. Might want to double check.

I appreciate your rankings and all the work that goes into putting them together, not easy I’m sure. I’m curious though, why does the search bar constantly disappear? It seems to go missing nearly every day for hours at a time. it’s a bit tough reading through 500 names when trying to evaluate one player. no big deal, still love the rankings and will continue reading them, again I appreciate your work. just wondering…

No Tanner Scott?

he’s not a star (yet) but how could you list 514 players for 2025 and michael toglia is not 1 of them? at least at the very end? i am positive you simply forgot he’s around.

No Nestor?

Where is Jeimer? you really hate this dude, huh?

Cole Ragans and Tarik Skubal need to be top 150. Lots of questionable bats up there…

Given his dominance and that you still have guys like Cristian Javier and Dylan Cease in or just outside the top 100, is it safe to assume that in the next update Cole Ragans is going to be moved up at least that far?

This aged poorly

Max Fried + what for Luis Roberts?

Chase Silseth is listed twice – #305 and #387?

I know you don’t add potential international guys to the list. But, it seems an almost certainty that Yoshinobu Yamamoto will get posted and be in an MLB rotation next season. Given that where would you estimate he’d fall on this list? Top 100? Going further and far more speculative. Where would Roki Sasaki be estimated? His profile and age are similar to Skenes and he’s sitting in the 70’s. Appreciate the insights thanks!

Dynasty league / I need pitchers and some youth (we roster 15 minor leaguers). Which of these two trade returns do you like coming my way:

Option A:
Hunter Brown
Andrew Painter
Spencer Steer
Ronny Mauricio

Option B:
Grayson Rodriguez
Mitch Keller
Adam Bohm
Pete Crow-Armstrong

I’m in a Dynasty points league; we redraft every three years. Keep 5 batters 3 pitchers and 15 minor leaguers. We have 2 more seasons after this one before the next draft. Of 17 teams I am near middle of pack. My pitching is a problem. I have Freddie Freeman on my team and am considering trading him for young talent.

I may be able to get 2-4 of these players from a couple of different teams (not all of them for FF).

Group 1:
Spencer Steer
Andrew Painter
Brooks Lee
Ronny Mauricio
Brett Baty
James Triantos

Group two:
Taj Bradley
Endy Rodriguez
Miguel Vargas
Jackson Chourio
Tanner Bibee
Junior Caminero

Which players from which group would you target??

I accepted a trade yesterday in my deep dynasty league where I sent Trea Turner and Brusdar Graterol for a package of James Wood, Heston Kjerstad, Jack Leiter, and Andrew Painter (as a throw-in after the TJ announcement)

In a dynasty league where we only keep 9…generally best to save full waiver budget ($100) for a top prospect. Should I spend $100 in Encarnacion-Strand? Or take my chances and wait for someone else to be called up?

No Edwin Arroyo? huh?

Why is Mason Auer TBB on this list?
He is batting .172 and striking out in nearly 40% of plate appearances in AA.
He is 22, and has great speed, but he will never make the majors if he does not improve that strikeout rate.

12 team roto dynasty league (5×5). keep 7 keepers annually. Trade Trout for Kirby, Pressly, and Stephenson (cather) as currently 3rd in standings (four teams get paid). Would be trading with first place team. Also, i could keep Kirby (other keepers are: J-Rod, Witt Jr, Matt Olson, Corey Seager and potentials for final three spots (Kirby, Buxton, Adolis Garcia, Bogaerts, Bieber, Gausman, Felix Bautista, and McLain if he keeps playing well). thoughts on making trade and what other three keepers would you keep after the big four solid Keepers.

I am surprised by the lack of Lamonte Wade, I get his value is less in non obp leagues and he doesn’t give you any steals but his high obp should help his runs, he doesn’t hurt you batting average, and his power is ok. That low on him?

Joe Ryan and Zac Gallen
for
eloy, neto, Emmanuel Rodriguez, degrom, eury
team getting eloy would drop raya, snelling, and collier and rebuild vs contender trade

Which trade side do you prefer:

Taj Bradley/Michael Busch/Colton Cowser
vs.
Adolis Garcia/Zack Wheeler

i’ve got a contending, young team in a dynasty sv/hld league but don’t have a true lockdown reliever, i even have one starting RP spot unfilled because i haven’t liked my options. Currently have AJ Puk & Jason Adams on the squad, and Alexis Diaz was recently made available. Compensation would equate to about two second-round picks or a second rounder and William Contreras (he’s floated on and off waivers all year, not a lot of catcher love in this league). Would you (1) hold Contreras regardless and find another player in there since you have him pretty high on your rankings and then (2) either make the move for Diaz as the Reds ascend and get a top RP to fill out the roster or just go through waivers to find a third guy? appreciate the help

Dynasty League: My current OF is:

Aaron Judge
Bryce Harper (DH)
Juan Soto
Josh Lowe
Daulton Varsho
Yordan Alavarez

Was offered Michael Harris for Bobby Miller? Would you make that trade even with the OF I have?

Someone just dropped Vinnie Pasquantino in my dynasty league. How aggresive should I be with my free agent dollars?

Glasnow and steer for
Ashcraft, Grayson, and Vinnie P

Dynasty League. Would you trade Nestor Cortes/Bryce Miller/Christian Encarnacion-Strand for Luis Castillo? Or is that an overpay?

Two things: 1) No Ben Joyce love? I know his sample size is 2 major league innings, but my goodness, he reminds me of when A.Chapman came into the league. 2) If you included international players would Roki Sasaki make this list?

Doug, true, other than injuries, surprise call-ups, demotions and fulfilling expectations a year late (see Jarred Kelenic), the first 30-60 days of a season don’t matter in dynasty.

Was this actually even updated…?

Gotta say, it’s been disappointing to not have a single update to this ranking yet. I know we don’t pay for this, but early season pickups and rankings are crucial as we have these players you know, forever. Again, we don’t pay, but those early season updates in the past were very useful.
On that subject … what do folks think is a great dynasty site (with rankings) that is or isn’t subscription-based. Thank you.

Question: I’m in a 10 team dynasty points league (keep 15 major leaguers & 10 minor leaguers). I have a very competitive roster. Of these available players in our draft, how would you rank these guys I could grab: Trevor Story, Liam Hendriks, Taylor Ward, & Jered Kelenic? Thanks!

Where does Jared Shuster fall outside the top 500? Will his earning the rotation spot bring him into the top 500?

I was offered Spencer Steer and Waldichuk for Rizzo. Finishing up a rebuild, is this fair value?

Are you able to add a csv download link to this page?

Dynasty League. Current rotation is:

Sandy/Ohtani/Cease/Gilbert/Glasnow

Need an OF. Do you trade Cease ($0.10/1yr) for Teoscar ($3/1) straight up? WHIP and BB are both categories. Current OF (4 OF League) is Yelich/Kris Bryant/Renfroe. Best FA OF available are Michael Harris/Carroll/McCarthy/Kwan/Stanton.

One to cut between Jared Walsh, Garrett Cooper, and Wil Myers. Who you droppin?

What happened to Eric?

Why the cut from 500 to 300 names? I was really relying on those later rankings in my dynasty league. I hope this is temporary.

Hey Eric!

Love the list, use it all the time for my Dynasty league. Currently in the first year player draft – any thoughts on Brock Porter vs Dylan Lesko? I’ve read a ton of material on both in terms of scouting reports and analysis – just curious what you think!

Cheers.

I am in a dynasty league and was offered jake McCarthy and a 2024 2nd round pick (we only draft prospects from the previous year’s draft and international signings) for Daniel Espino. Am I selling low on Espino?

Hey Eric!

I have a dynasty league where I am allowed to keep my entire roster every year forever.

I am considering the following trade. I would be trading away Mookie Betts (who has 2B and OF eligibility) and Eloy Jimenez FOR Kyle Tucker and Wander Franco. Given that Mookie has 2nd base eligibility which is hard to come by for elite players, should I still do this deal? Note that I do already have a capable second baseman in Jazz Chisholm. Thank you again for all of your work!

Saw your comments on Donovan not being a long-term starter. Being close to the Cards, I would say adjust that expectation. They love him internally.

I play in a 8 team semi dynasty league where we keep six players. I have Realmuto C, Witt Jr SS, Arenado 3B, Betts OF, Scherzer SP, and Nola SP. I have the 3rd overall pick and it look like Bichette SS and Simien 2B are going to be the best hitters available. Do I draft Bichette and move Witt to UTL or take Simien at 2B and fill in a position I do not have yet?

I have noticed that Jhonkensy Noel has fallen off your Top 500. Just too much swing and miss, and potentially no defensive home? Or am I missing something else?

Where would Trevor Bauer fall on this updated list now that he has been reinstated? I know he hasn’t been signed yet, is that the reason he has not been included in the new rankings to this point? The longer we go without hearing him connected to any team the higher the chances I think he remains unsigned.

Closers are always too low in these rankings. I looked a couple who didn’t even make the list. If you were starting a 15-team dynasty league and had a 33 round draft to kick it off (495 picks), any current closer is getting taken by someone.

Why no Brendan Donovan?

Hey Eric,

Thank you again for all of the great content! When will the next rankings come out? 🙂

Matt Mervis gonna get any love next update?

Will Luis Rengifo crack your next update, I’m a bit intrigued by him and the price should be right in my 20 team dynasty league where my 2B is a mess and Nick Gonzalez took a step back.

Year 2. I’m sucking in my 12 team dynasty league where we keep 12 of the players year to year. Do I try to get 12 best players 8 batters 4 pitchers? How can I leverage? NA counts towards the 12. I’m thinking of trading 2 for 1 to update top talent.

Thanks in advance

Um……Thairo?

Any explanation you can provide for dropping Will Smith (LAD) 30 spots, and adding 6 years to his life?

Elly DLC all the way up into the 80s? Is that serious or are you just trying to get our attention? Those Ks throughout pro career speak to very high risk, and he has 9 just games at AA.

Hey Eric,

I’m in a 12 team dynasty league, I’m in a major rebuild and arms are very hard to come by(scoring weight is messed up and pitchers are more valuable). That being said, I have to drop 3 to make room for enough active MLB guys (league rule). Any input?

Hey Eric, I’m in a 12 team categories (AVG) dynasty league. My team is rebuilding. What side of this do you lean?

Bichette

Or

Ohtani (SP only)
Andrew Vaughn

Keeper League: Was offered Corey Seager for Jeremy Pena and Nate Cortes.
Thoughts?

Is that actually important? He put up 30 homers and 16 steals. If you’re playing season stats does it matter the distribution? If you’re playing head to head there’s always ups and downs. If he got all his stats in one half, that might make him an even better player as you could use the 2nd half of somebody “better”. Of course, he still had 8 homers and 8 steals in the 2nd half, so you might not find that better person in the FA pool. Plenty of players have a bad half, heck a lot of them have a bad season, and most of the guys on this list are no exception, but I still don’t think you should discount the fact that he’s a 30-20 guy who quals CF and put a bunch of guys who aren’t going to ever do those kind of numbers ahead of him. e.g. Benintendi (career best/2017: 20 hr, 20 sb; 2021: 17 hr, 8 sb; 2022: 3 hr, 1 sb(talk about unusable)). I’d rather have inconsistently great than consistently mediocre/bad. His career 162-g average is 30 homers, 18 sb, 83 R, 92 RBI. Sure, he’s a career .241 – and that will bring some rough times – but I still think he deserves more love. He has great counting numbers. Anyway, my 2 cents – there will always be debate on players, thanks for spending the time to publish this list.

What is your take on Mize’s future? Is he worth hanging on to in a 26 player/12 team league?

Why no love for Adolis Garcia?

Is there that little call for 30 homer/20 steal CF’ers?

Great update to the list, been waiting for this! Question (of course) – Santiago Espinal and Thairo Estrada seem like very similar players….in fact the biggest difference is SB advantage for Thairo. Just wondering why Espinal is at 280 while Thairo is unranked. Thairo is younger as well. Thanks!

Would you trade Josiah Gray for Salvador Perez in dynasty league? Obviously Perez is better but his higher age worries me.

Roansey for Austin Hays. Thoughts?

Need dynasty help. OF set with Harper/Alvarez/Buxton/Judge/Soto.

Need pitching help. Would you trade Kelenic/Ketel Marte for Aaron Nola/Trevor Story?

Awesome update, Eric! I was offered Kelenic for either Jordan Walker or Nolan Gorman. 12 team dynasty, I’m in a full rebuild.

I see you have Kelenic higher on your dynasty list than the other two, so obviously I know you’d probably trade one of those two guys for him. Do you think it’s worth the risk and that he will figure things out? Has his future potential taken a drastic hit as opposed to someone like Gorman/Walker who still are complete unknowns at the MLB level?

Thanks so much in advance and appreciate all your work!

When is the next update scheduled! Thank you for what you do. Early season rankings crucial!

12 team H2H dynasty league…I would be trading Max Meyer and I would be receiving George Kirby and Carlos Correa.

My SS was Mondesi who is now most likely out for the year and I am desperate at SS until Volpe gets the call.

I am extremely high on Meyer but I’m torn because Kirby is a good replacement as well. Any input? Thanks!

Need some dynasty wisdom! Was offered Jose Altuve and Kiner-Falefa for Jo Adell and Hunter Greene. My team is pretty well balanced, 2b isn’t an immediate need but would be an upgrade over G. Torres, Vidal Brujan and E. Escobar.

Finished 4th last year. Worth it to upgrade 2b and win now or hope that Adell and Greene hit their ceiling for years to come?

Hi Eric, great stuff here – and awesome to see you engage in the comment section. Quick Q: if you were in a league where Ohtani was two players, SP and Utility, where would you rank each on this list?

Who would you rather trade away in this scenario. I have Volpe and Noelvi in my minors. I can potentially pry away the #1 pick in our majors redraft using one of them knowing Ramirez or Harper is available. (one is guaranteed) Volpe appears to have a safer floor but Marte is a bigger ceiling. Should I just wait for them to join the big leagues and enjoy the fruits of their potential labor.

Currently have Soto, Judge, Story, France, Franmil, McNeil, Barrero, A Rosario on offense. Not currently worried about pitching. .

Mr, Cross, I am in 12 team keeper league where we can keep all, we have a short 5 round draft, and 20 mandatory 20 of the 70 half to qualify for Minors. It has been running for at least 15 years this league. Your list does not include Catcher/IB Sam Huff . Would he be in the top 600 if you were draw up such a list?

Hi Eric,

Just wanted your thoughts on a trade I accepted a few days ago. 12-team league. I received Luis Severino and I gave up Alejandro Kirk, Jose Miranda and Victor Robles. I am in win-now mode. Did I give up too much for Sevy? Thanks!

Zack

I can not find 3b Kyle Seager.

Hey Eric, great list I check it out all the time. Just looking for some tough advice on who I should keep in my 12 team, 6 keeper League. Who out of these 7 would you not keep? Who is the odd man out?

Wander Franco
Jose Abreu
Aaron judge
Corey Seager
Starling Marte
Shane Baz
Julio Rodriguez

I am stumped and would appreciate some advice!

Thanks again,

Brett

Hi Eric! Big fan of the work you do. Just started a podcast of my own, would love to chat with you some time.

Is Tatis getting bumped down in the wake of another big IR stint ahead? I’m not feeling like I can put my dynasty in his hands with the 1.1 like I was yesterday.

Thanks! Not sure if the first one went thru, ha

Hi Eric these comments look pretty old but worth a shot! Which 2 would you keep of Franco, Robert, Buehler or Freeman? 6×6 with avg and ops. We keep 3 (ohtani is other), have 21 players on roster Thanks!

Eric, appreciate your work and love reading through your insights. Was hoping you could help me out with a (good) conundrum that I find myself in.

I’m in a 10-team keeper league with h2h cats scoring (6×6 with holds and OPS). Each team can keep up to 12 players without penalty (draft pick, salary, etc.) for as long as they want. Based on this update, you and I are pretty much in lockstep on keepers but was wondering if overall roster construction would cause you to change your mind on any of them.

I’m currently planning to keep the following players: Acuna, Soto, Ohtani (SP and U eligible), JoRam, Wander, Bellinger, Ketel, Buehler, Alcantara, Flaherty, Manoah, and Hader.

However, I also have the following options available as well: Vaughn, Gausman, McClanahan, Gallen, and Ian Anderson.

Would you make any changes? Or would you sit tight with the 12 players that I listed and move my depth for some draft pick upgrades? I could also package a player I’m not keeping with one that I am for a keeper upgrade, too.

Thanks so much for the advice!

Was curious how a couple of the old guys would rank, with Cruz at 317 at age 41 and Verlander at 461 at age 39. Still think Cruz has another productive year in him? Not confident that Verlander can come back strong?

first full year as a SP w/ 3.71era, 1.13whip, 3.2 war and .234 BAA, slight up-tick in K’s = ace, sooo
why do you hate Casey Mize?

Is it time for Reynaldo Lopez to return to the top 400? How about Drew Rasmussen, he’s had solid minor league numbers which has translated to the bigs.

Thanks for all the work you do.

Curious if you ended up doing this. Burnes of course had a huge year.

Luzardo could be a buy low in the coming years but hes really fallen from grace. Abrams got hurt so hes back another year and i personally dont see him as more than a slightly more powerful dee strange gordon.

I like Pearson but TJ is inevitable my book. Crazy risk high reward for me.

Love using this as a reference so thank you for that. I particularly like that you are aggressively ranking prospects (because they should be)

I do think Cease is as many as 50 spots to low and that’s coming from a Tigers fan

Any tips on poaching talent? Just finishing up my 1st year of a dynasty Fantasy baseball league. Finished 8th out of 14 teams, no playoffs. Spent most of the year down near 10-12 rank. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t watch baseball. (ex I started the season thinking it was weird that there were 2 Shohei Otani’s. What a unique name and they’re two of them. Ahh he’s 1 guy. Same thing with Wander Franco? Good thing I have the right one)

I am using this opportunity poach as much future talent as possible FA/IR. I’m not in a win now mode but 2-3 years I want people to be jealous. Hopefully league mates don’t read this section. I made a trade early in the year: Bryce Harper my #1 draft pick for Wander Franco and Gleybar Torres. Hopefully that pays off.

Hi Eric, thanks for everything you do. You have really amped up my prospect list and outlook for dynasty. I’m in two now so still a novice and learning a lot from you and the other writers at Fantrax.

In a 12 tm 6×6 OPS/QS and currently barely in 1st. However, the league is a bit soft and waiver wire pickups are to be had. I have a bunch of P’s in your 70-150 range (Fried/Anderson/Lopez/Gilbert/Snell/Scherzer/Musgrove/Sale) and I would like to move some combo of those for Cole. My top is Giolito and I also have Ohtani.

The Cole owner is not contending this year and could use 2-3 SP’s. I offered Lopez/Gilbert/Fried for Cole and it was rejected. Was thinking of offering Musgrove/Fried/Gilbert for Cole. I need to unload a few SP’s as I have some on the IL like Lopez/Clev/Gio who I want to keep obviously but I don’t have the space.

Thanks again.

Just got offered Walker Buehler at $29

For my:

Rutschman $3
Luciano $0
Gore $6

Basically my whole “farm” system. Would only have Keston and Vidal Brujan left at NA.

+$3 every year a player is kept, values above show cost going into next year.
10 team h2h, 5×5 plus OBP, SLG, QS, Holds

I’m real strong with bats, middling with SP.

My likely starting lineup next year.

C Perez $2
1B Vaughn $4
2B Jazz $0
3B ?
SS Tatis $6
LF Tucker $6
CF ?
RF Meadows $8
Util Ohtani $13
Util ?Correa $10
Util ?Mondesi $22
NA Vidal $0

SPs
Berrios $19
Thor $4
Clevinger $4
Severino $1
Ray $0
McClanahan $0

Can keep 14 each season, plus 2 NA to start out the year.

no Jon Gray? He’s really good

How far out of the 500 is Jesus Aguilar? Seems like he deserves some love

Bauer totally off the list now?

Hi Eric,

I am sitting 2 points out of 1st in an 8 team, short bench, keep-5 roto league. I got offered Freeman, Correa, and Raisel Iglesias for Vladdy. I love Vladdy as a keeper, but this might put me over the top this season. I would probably drop McNeil and Civale to make my roster fit.

What would you do? Thanks!

Who would be your top targets to try to add from this week’s MLB draft? I am in several deep leagues with large minor league rosters.

Hi Eric,
Why no Patrick Sandoval on your list ?
I got a trade offer of Sandoval for Dane Dunning.
Which do you think is the better side of the trade ?

Hi, Eric, I thought we were closer than this. I feel you have drifted apart. Why do you hate me? Was it because I did not run away with you?

Hey Eric, Great update!

Curious what you would do in this scenario:
20 team dynasty league, super deep miners rosters (up to 130 players between majors and minors), with a complicated contract system that basically you have 4 years on a cheap rookie deal and then they get more and more expensive each year afterwards. Also important note, it is a points league and you only get a MAX of 6 starts from pitchers each week.

The gist of my team is I am a top contenders right now, but am carried mostly by my lineup (Contreras, Vladdy, Rizzo, Albies, JoRam, Bichette, Carlson, Buxton, Meadows, Brantley, Biggio) and bullpen. My rotation has skated by thus far and is lacking an ace currently (Montas, Ray, Morton, Matz, Lamet). I have Pearson, Luzardo, and Soroka chilling in my minors for now while they get healthy/figure out how to throw strikes.

In addition, I have Franco, Abrams, Groshans, Gabriel Moreno, Priester, and Kyle Harrison has my top prospects and are timed well as some of my current players get too pricey for me to keep.

I have a potential to make a trade for Burnes, who has three cheap years left on his contract. It would cost me Abrams, Luzardo or Pearson, a likely top 5 FYP 1st round pick, and change. Is this worth it for me to get Burnes and really stabilize my rotation or is it risking to much of the future?

Conversely, if I kept the players I have now, by end of season how do you think a rotation with Pearson, Luzardo, Soroka, Lamet, Montas, etc. would look?

I appreciate your Input!

Hey Eric! As always, love the content. I’m in a 12 team 5×5 dynasty and am rebuilding. I currently have Waters and K-Rob, but my farm has good depth at OF (and potential future OFs) with J-ROD, Adell, Brujan, Kiriloff, Abrams, Martin.

My question is how do you feel about Waters and K-Rob? I see Waters slipping in everyone’s rankings and continue to hear nothing but bad things about his play on the field. I know K-Rob is worrying more about his health right now than baseball, which is great. I’m just worried without having any play to assess him on in a long time he’s going to slip in rankings too.

I’ve had both of these guys for a while and have been holding steady, but nobody is interested in trading for them and the following players are available on the waiver so I’m wondering if it’s time to cut bait on either of them to grab some of these guys that are playing well so far.

Hey Eric, keep up the great work! I’m in a 12 team 5×5 dynasty, full rebuild. If I were to trade Jose Ramirez, is a return of CJ Abrams, Bohm and Grisham/Cease enough?

Hey Eric, as always I appreciate all you do for the fantasy baseball community! 12 team dynasty league and I’m in full rebuild. Shallow rosters of around 25 players. Got an offer for my Jose Ramirez of CJ Abrams, Bohm, Grisham. Is that enough in return or should I be looking for more? Thanks!

thank you.

Will your 2021 dynasty rankings be updated again in March before the season starts?

Hello Mr. Cross. Great work! Im in a keeper(KEEP 9) league(12teams), 28 men roster
Batting cats are Runs (R), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Strikeouts (K), Batting Average (AVG), On-base Percentage (OBP), Extra Base Hits (XBH) If you have the depth to target anyone who would be the best batter to get in a trade? Soto, Trout, Tatis, Acuna or someone else?! Thanks in advance.

Dynasty keeper league, 16 teams 27 keepers, im on the clock. Who is safest pick? Burns, arozarena or even karnataka because closers hard to come by

Incredible tool! Appreciate the hard work that went into this, used it for my first dynasty draft this year.

*One small fix, Cristian Hernandez SS on the Cubs is listed as 20 on this list, however he is only 17*

Thank you for your takes!

I have to keep 8 guys in a dynasty league with a roster of 30 players and a budget of $300. 4 OF, 3 MI, 2 of every other Position player and a DH. 8 Starting Pitchers.

Which of these 8 do I keep? Number in parentheses is what it would cost me to keep the player…
LeMaheiu ($6)
Alcantara ($6)

Great List Eric! I’m in a deep keeper league (12 team, 5 x 5, QS instead of W). Keep 15, rookie eligible player do not count towards the 15. I’ve been 3rd the pass 2 years. Here are my “locked in” keepers/RE:
Christian Yelich
Gerrit Cole
Corey Seager
Jarred Kelenic
Jack Flaherty
Julio Rodriguez
Randy Arozarena
Max Fried
Luke Voit
Andrew Vaughn
Sonny Gray
Max Muncy
CJ Abrams
Ian Happ
Lance Lynn
Liam Hendriks
Ryan Mountcastle
Kenley Jansen
Nelson Cruz

I have two more spots. Having a tough time choosing between the following: Josh Donaldson, Gary Sanchez, Jake Cronenworth, Dylan Moore, John Means, or Trevor Rosenthal. Thoughts?

Just wondering how many starting hitters/pitchers you are assuming in a league for this ranking list
Because I’m assuming boom or bust players get a bump in shallower leagues

Hello Eric,

I could use an upgrade at OF and SB. I have an offer to acquire Teoscar, is this good?

I get: Teoscar Hernandez + 3.28 FYPD 2020

He gets: Josiah Gray, Sam Huff, 1.11 FYPD 2020

Thanks

Hey Eric, trying to clean up my roster and curious if there is any reason I should continue to hold Reynaldo Lopez? Not sure who I’d be looking to pick in lieu of hi, but Coby Mayo is top of the list right now. For context, my rotation is pretty stacked ahead of Lopez.

Two part question if anyone would like to offer any thoughts:

1. Advice on keepers? I’m in a standard 10 team keeper league, head to head categories, really competitive. 6 keepers each team.

My squad: Juan Soto, Shane Bieber, Wander Franco, Pete Alonso are locked in. For my last two keeper spots I’m debating between Austin Meadows, Jose Abreu, Gavin Lux, and Yu Darvish.

Leaning towards Darvish as he’s competitive for the short term, and Meadows as the best combo from those three hitters for upside and major league production. Any changes you would make?

Part 2. I have a trade offer from the league champ who needs to dump a player to finalize his 6 keepers. He’s asking for Shane Bieber in return for my choice of 2 of the following:

1 of Lindor, Jose Ramirez, Kyle Tucker, Luis Robert

1 of Walter Beuhler, Jack Flaherty, Lucas Giolito

His team was stacked and it seems like a no brainer to make a deal from that offer but I’m also a big Bieber fan as he hits his prime. Thoughts?

JoRam should plummet on this list after the Lindor trade and Santana leaving. He might accrue 200 walks this year, but kiss the power, avg/obp and speed goodbye. The team won’t be letting him run since he’s their next major marketable asset they’ll be moving, and teams won’t be pitching to him because there’s literally nothing else in that lineup that could do any damage whatsoever, so they’ll be putting him on 1B every time it’s remotely reasonable to.
