Rizzo ranked No. 5 1B by MLB Network

MLB Network's countdown of baseball's best players at each position will run every Saturday night through Feb. 9. The fourth installment of the "Top 10 Right Now!" series featured the game's top first basemen and starting pitchers.

The five-week program hosted by Brian Kenny used rankings based on player performance over the last two seasons, a number of offensive and defensive metrics, both advanced data and traditional numbers and analysis by the MLB Network research team.

The series features appearances from MLB Network on-air personalities and former Major Leaguers Eric Byrnes, Cliff Floyd, Mike Lowell, Dan Plesac, Harold Reynolds, Ron Darling, Jim Thome and Joe Girardi, as well as roundtable discussions with Kenny, president of SABR Vince Gennaro, the Ringer's Ben Lindbergh and MLB.com analyst Mike Petriello. Each episode also featured a fan-generated Top 10 Right Now list compiled via voting on MLB Network's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages using #Top10RightNow.

• A look back: MLB Network's Top 10 at every position for 2018

Below is a breakdown of this year's rankings results:

Top 10 first basemen right now Paul Goldschmidt is a human metronome: Over the last four seasons he has played in at least 155 games while batting a combined .310/.410/.538 with an average of 32 homers and finishing in the top 11 in NL MVP voting each year. He'll get a chance to build on a potential Hall of Fame resume in St. Louis this year.

Video: Goldschmidt is the No. 1 first baseman right now

1. Paul Goldschmidt 2. Freddie Freeman 3. Joey Votto 4. Max Muncy 5. Anthony Rizzo 6. Matt Olson 7. Justin Smoak 8. Jesus Aguilar 9. Rhys Hoskins 10. Jose Abreu

Top 10 starting pitchers right now While Jacob deGrom had the best season of any pitcher in 2018 en route to winning the National League Cy Young Award, Max Scherzer and Chris Sale still stand out in terms of consistent dominance year after year.

Video: Kenny and Darling review their Top 10 SP lists

1. Max Scherzer 2. Chris Sale 3. Jacob deGrom 4. Corey Kluber 5. Justin Verlander 6. Aaron Nola 7. Clayton Kershaw 8. Luis Severino 9. Carlos Carrasco 10. Blake Snell

Top 10 left fielders right now Some might argue that J.D. Martinez is more of a designated hitter, but he did play 57 games in the outfield last year, and more than half of them came in left. And over the last two years he has hit an insane .319/.391/.655, with an average of 44 homers per year.

Video: J.D. Martinez is the No. 1 left fielder right now

1. J.D. Martinez 2. Giancarlo Stanton 3. Ronald Acuna Jr. 4. Tommy Pham 5. Justin Upton 6. Juan Soto 7. Marcell Ozuna 8. Michael Conforto 9. Khris Davis 10. David Peralta

Video: Kenny and Byrnes review their Top 10 CF lists

Top 10 center fielders right now There is obviously no doubt about No. 1, but Cody Bellinger over Lorenzo Cain could spark some debate. But remember, the rankings are based on the last two seasons, and Bellinger's 2017 campaign (39 homers, .933 OPS, NL Rookie of the Year) was pretty special.

Video: Mike Trout is the No. 1 center fielder right now

1. Mike Trout 2. Cody Bellinger 3. Lorenzo Cain 4. Aaron Hicks 5. George Springer 6. Charlie Blackmon 7. A.J. Pollock 8. Starling Marte 9. Harrison Bader 10. Kevin Kiermaier

Video: Floyd, Kenny recap the Top 10 right fielders

Top 10 right fielders right now We know what you are thinking, Aaron Judge over Mookie Betts, after the season Betts just had?

But consider this: These lists are dictated by The Shredder, MLB Network's player rating formula, which looks back at the last two seasons and weights them evenly. Over the past two years ….

Judge: .282/.409/.584, 79 homers, 15 steals, 162 wRC+ Betts: .301/.388/.541, 56 homers, 56 steals, 143 wRC+

And while Betts is a stud on defense, Judge also rates highly in the outfield, with the third-most Defensive Runs Saved among right fielders in the last two years, which allowed him to hold Betts off for the top spot.

Video: Aaron Judge is the No. 1 right fielder right now

1. Aaron Judge 2. Mookie Betts 3. Christian Yelich 4. Mitch Haniger 5. Bryce Harper 6. Brandon Nimmo 7. Yasiel Puig 8. Andrew McCutchen 9. Nicholas Castellanos 10. Stephen Piscotty

Video: Kenny, Girardi recap Top 10 catchers right now

Top 10 catchers right now There is a strong argument that J.T. Realmuto is the best catcher in the game right now, but Buster Posey still gets the edge, buoyed by a strong 2017 campaign that is still weighted heavily. Given recent trends, there is a very good chance that this is Posey's last year at the top.

Video: Buster Posey is the No. 1 catcher right now

1. Buster Posey 2. J.T. Realmuto 3. Yasmani Grandal 4. Gary Sanchez 5. Willson Contreras 6. Yadier Molina 7. Kurt Suzuki 8. Wilson Ramos 9. Mike Zunino 10. Salvador Perez

Video: Russo, Kenny on top 10 2B from the past 10 years

Top 10 second basemen right now This position is going through a bit of a transition, with a bunch of youngsters entering the mix, though veterans such as Jose Altuve, Jed Lowrie and Robinson Cano are still holding strong.

Video: Analytics panel on Top 10 second basemen right now

1. Jose Altuve 2. Jed Lowrie 3. Whit Merrifield 4. Robinson Cano 5. Chris Taylor 6. Scooter Gennett 7. Joey Wendle 8. Gleyber Torres 9. Ben Zobrist 10. DJ LeMahieu

Altuve also tops Petriello's Top 10

Top 10 third basemen right now This might be the most stacked position in baseball right now, and you can argue for about six different guys at No. 1.

Video: Analytics panel on Top 10 third basemen right now

1. Jose Ramirez 2. Justin Turner 3. Nolan Arenado 4. Anthony Rendon 5. Alex Bregman 6. Matt Carpenter 7. Matt Chapman 8. Kris Bryant 9. Josh Donaldson 10. Eugenio Suarez

Petriello's list of third basemen is different at the top

Schedule of remaining shows Airing at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET, respectively Feb. 9: Top 10 shortstops and relievers

Pressing Fantasy Baseball Questions: The 2018 Cleveland Indians

yahoo

The Cleveland Indians lost their way during the Eric Wedge and Manny Acta eras, but happy times returned when manager Terry Francona was hired in October of 2012. The Indians have three playoff trips in the last five years, including last season’s 102-win cruise. Cleveland was upset by the Yankees in the ALDS, but that doesn’t dim the brightness of this franchise. The Tribe is on the short list of 2018 favorites, for the pennant and for the championship.

[Batter up: Join a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for free today]

Fantasy owners know what to do with the big names, the Klubers, the Lindors, the Ramirez. Let’s dig a little deeper and try to find some logical value plays.

Q: Is it time to jump back on Jason Kipnis?

A: Probably. The price is right, and the upside is obvious.

Nothing fell right for Kipnis in 2017. He dealt with hamstring, neck, and shoulder injuries, and the Indians — for some reason — tried to make a center fielder out of him, an experiment that failed miserably. Kipnis is healthy again for 2018 and clobbering the ball in Spring Training — six homers in his first 17 plate appearances. Even if you don’t care about March stats in make-believe games, it is encouraging to see Kipnis hale, and back at his familiar second base.

We can’t be sure Kipnis won’t migrate back to the outfield — Michael Brantley isn’t a sure thing — but if the Tribe leaves Kipnis alone at second base, I’ll be chasing this one. Kipnis is currently outside the Top 200 in Yahoo ADP (in other words, the flier rounds), and he was a robust .275-91-23-82-15 asset as recently as two years ago. Once you get late in your draft, swing for the fences.

Q: Is Andrew Miller still a mid-round target without a closer gig?

A: I definitely think so. Miller’s shutdown innings played in most formats last year — 1.44 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 13.6 K/9. Although he was kept out of save situations, he was probably unlucky to finish with just four wins (and zero saves) over 57 appearances. Heck, down the stretch in 2016, he grabbed four wins and three saves in just 26 Cleveland assignments.

[2018 Fantasy Baseball rankings: Overall | H | P | C | 1B | 2B | 3B |SS | OF | SP | RP]

I’m not saying you attack Miller with the idea that he’ll get a bushel of decisions on his ledger. But he probably ran unlucky in that area last year. Cody Allen is a good value, too, if all you care about is saves and solid ratios, but I’d be shocked if Miller didn’t see a boost in his result lines. He’ll work plenty of high-leverage situations for a team that’s pegged for 94 victories; by accident, he’s likely to intersect with more wins and saves. And the lockdown innings are projectable at this stage of his career.

Q: Is Mike Clevinger’s ADP too high, too low, or just right?

A: Clevinger is currently just outside the Top 200 in Yahoo leagues, which sounds right to me. His strikeout numbers jump off the page (27.3 percent, 10.1 K/9), but often times his control deserts him (4.44 B/9). The Indians handled Clevinger carefully last year; he only recorded eight outs after the sixth inning (for his 21 starts), and he never threw more than 108 pitches in any turn. The club generally liked to get 15-18 outs from Clevinger, then turn things over to the bullpen.

That’s a reasonable blueprint, if the 2018 Indians play like last year’s model. Cleveland was fifth in runs scored and first in bullpen ERA; Clevinger doesn’t need to be an innings workhorse to help us. And if he trims some walks off that control rate, maybe we’re looking at something special. When you’re trying to find upside for the second half of your starting staff, Clevinger makes sense, heading into his age-27 season.

The Cleveland staff should feast on the AL Central schedule; Kansas City, Chicago, and Detroit all had mediocre offenses last year, and no one in that mix looks notably improved. Progressive Field played as a relatively neutral park last year, after being a run-scoring float in the two prior seasons.

Q: Have the Regression Police gone too far on Yonder Alonso?

A: It appears so. Alonso is coming off a surprising 28-homer breakout, though it was partially shielded in a year filled with power surges The Indians signed him to a two-year contract, plus an option.

Alonso’s OPS dropped 160 points in the second half, and he fell from a .562 slugging (with 20 homers) to a .420 slugging (with eight homers). On the plus side, Alonso is finally back in a park that helps left-handed power. After starting his career with a brief Cincinnati stint, he’s since been on a parade of hitter graveyards: San Diego, Oakland, Seattle. Death Valley Days.

Progressive Field has boosted left-handed average by 14 points over the last three years, and it’s been a 10-percent float for lefty power. Alonso currently has a scant 261 ADP in Yahoo leagues, behind some pedestrian names. Even if he gives back a chunk of last year’s launch-angle gains, he’s well slotted for profit.

2018 Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: 12-team Head-to-Head factors public sale outcomes

Our current 12-team Head-to-Head factors public sale ended up being far more than that.

It grew to become a research of diametrically opposed approaches and a 3rd that tried to search out center floor. And since the three house owners on the middle are those you could know from the Fantasy Baseball Immediately podcast, that makes it all of the extra enjoyable.

During the last couple years, focusing on beginning pitching early has turn out to be much less of a no-no in Fantasy Baseball, and that is very true on this format, the place there are fewer hitter spots to fill and no must stability quite a lot of classes, some scarcer than others. General manufacturing is all that issues, which significantly reduces the margin for error when choosing a hitter.

And in a power-laden surroundings the place everyone who’s anyone hits 20-plus dwelling runs, that margin for error is even smaller. How small? You might argue it is nearly nil, and I’ve theorized such. This public sale put it to the take a look at, although.

Straight away, it grew to become clear Heath Cummings and I entered with the identical technique: go laborious after the 4 tremendous aces (which, for the uninitiated, are Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber and Chris Sale). When the bidding reached $40, the 2 of us went forwards and backwards, and I blinked first in every occasion, not desirous to blow out my prescribed funds. Heath wound up with three of the 4 (all however Sale). I wound up with none.

Undeterred, I made a decision to seize as most of the second-tier beginning pitchers — all aces in their very own proper — as I might, understanding I might nonetheless avoid the shortage at that place whereas additionally leaving myself with extra money to fill out the remainder of my beginning lineup. Collectively, Heath and I bought eight of the consensus high 17 beginning pitchers, giving us a giant benefit on the place the place there’s arguably the largest benefit available. It is simply that Heath’s 4 (Kershaw, Scherzer, Kluber and Justin Verlander) ate up $180 of his $260 funds whereas my 4 (Madison Bumgarner, Zack Greinke, Noah Syndergaard and Dallas Keuchel) consumed solely $124.

On the opposite facet of the coin was Chris Towers, who forsook pitching for high-end hitting, investing 75 % of his funds in Jose Altuve, Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, Gary Sanchez and Aaron Choose. He needed to go the thrifty route at beginning pitcher, and it exhibits, along with his two costliest each presenting main danger and the remainder of his employees providing little to no chance of high-end manufacturing. That is to not say Tanner Roark and Dinelson Lamet aren’t helpful or intriguing, but when they’re among the many greatest he has, his drawback is just about locked in.

I spent considerably much less on hitting than Chris, however what? I feel mine is fairly good. I nonetheless acquired top-two gamers at two of the scarcest positions, catcher and second base, and 6 hitters in all who would go off the board within the first eight rounds of any draft. My outfield is weak, nevertheless it’s aggressive sufficient.

After which there’s Heath, who left himself subsequent to nothing to spend on hitting, and as you may count on, the hitter portion of his lineup is … wait, what?

H-how did he do this?

Do not get me incorrect: It is the worst assortment of hitters among the many three groups, however extra due to draw back than upside. Each one in every of his beginning 9 belongs in a beginning 9 on this league, and solely two value him double-digit . Not a one value him as a lot as $15.

Positive, there are potential pitfalls, particularly given the age of among the hitters. However the 2018 season will not go incorrect for all of them, and the place it does go incorrect, he has loads of different locations to show. Shoot, I acquired Ryan Zimmerman and Mike Moustakas on my bench for a buck every simply because it appeared loopy no one needed them after the numbers they only put up. Nevertheless it’s not like I’ve a spot to play them. Might Heath make me a gorgeous supply if it got here to that? Yeah, he in all probability might. And I am in all probability not the one one with that type of hitter extra, a few of which (by the way in which) is bound to wind up on the waiver wire.

Backside line is it will take considerably much less for his lineup to measure as much as mine than my pitching to measure as much as his — and I say that even understanding my pitching is clearly the second greatest. And whereas Heath might have taken it a bit too far with the $15 he spent on Jon Lester, I got here away pondering I personally ought to have gone farther.

There’s simply an excessive amount of interchangeability amongst all however the highest-end hitters to shrug off the large benefits that may be gained from high-end beginning pitchers.

So who all had a front-row seat to this insanity?

15 biggest breakout stars of the MLB season

Every baseball season sees new players emerge as stars and huge contributors to their teams. Some of them are rookies or young players who have everything finally click for them, while others are journeymen who somehow put it together at a later stage in their career.

Here is a look at 15 MLB players who have enjoyed breakout seasons.

Cody Bellinger, 1B/OF, Dodgers

Bellinger arrived to some fanfare in late April, but few could have expected the production that he offered the team. Bellinger became an instant power source, belting an NL rookie record 39 home runs. That figure comfortably leads the Dodgers, and his .270 average ensures that he is not simply a high-power, low-average slugger. Bellinger has been a huge part of the Dodgers’ historic season, and few could have predicted that at the start of the season.

Archie Bradley, RP, Diamondbacks

Once a top-ten draft pick as a starting pitcher, Bradley reinvented himself as an elite reliever in 2017, helping stabilize the Arizona bullpen as they make a run to the playoffs for the first time in six years. Bradley has posted an impressive 1.41 ERA, striking out 76 in 70 innings and issuing only 18 walks. He has served as Fernando Rodney’s setup man, but truth be told, he has been the team’s best reliever — and he looks like he has the chance to be a future closer.

Michael Conforto, OF, Mets

The Mets’ season has been such a mess that Conforto’s exploits have largely gone overlooked. He’s come back strong, especially after the Mets made their lack of trust in him clear last season. The 24-year-old firmly established himself as a regular in 2017, hitting .279 with 27 home runs before his season met a premature end due to a major shoulder injury. The hope is that he’ll be able to come back healthy and strong next year and replicate these numbers. If he can, he looks like a star in the making.

Aaron Judge, OF, Yankees

Without a doubt the breakout star of the entire season. Judge became the first rookie ever to hit 50 home runs, overcoming a mid-season slump to put himself firmly in the MVP conversation. It’s not just the power that draws Judge the accolades, though; it’s the totality of his overall offensive game. He leads the AL in walks, is batting .283, and has demonstrated that there’s much more to him than amazing power — though he’s got plenty of that, too.

Corey Knebel, RP, Brewers

Knebel entered the 2017 season with two career saves and a 4.03 lifetime ERA to his name. He promptly became an All-Star for a Brewers team that proved to be the breakout club of the season. Knebel has racked up 38 saves with an ERA of 1.58. He also has one of the league’s elite strikeout rates — 122 in 74 innings. He’s a bit prone to walks, which can cause some headaches, but he tends to be so overwhelming most of the time that it doesn’t matter all that much.

Jimmy Nelson, SP, Brewers

Nelson actually led the National League in losses in 2016. To say that he’s come a long way would be an understatement. Nelson lowered his ERA by over a full run in 2017, becoming Milwaukee’s most reliable starting pitcher with a 3.49 mark. A huge improvement in his strikeout rate was a major catalyst — his 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings completely obliterates his previous career best of 7.5, set in 2015. The only downside is the season-ending shoulder injury he suffered on a pickoff play.

Tommy Pham, OF, Cardinals

Pham only had 314 big league at-bats to his name before the 2017 season, and the body of work was not particularly good. In a season that has seen several of the team’s more reliable names have down years, Pham has ended up pacing the Cards, hitting .310 with 23 home runs and 23 stolen bases, making him a versatile threat. He’s graded out positively as an outfielder as well on the defensive side of things. He’s just a solid all-around player — the kind that every single team could find use for.

Jose Ramirez, 3B, Indians

Ramirez was already making a name for himself in 2016, hitting a surprising .312 with some pop for the eventual American League champions. There were questions as to whether he could follow up with a similar performance, and he did much more than that. Ramirez has maintained pretty much all his 2016 numbers while adding even more power, with his 29 home runs easily marking a career high. Ramirez went from very good player to AL MVP candidate, and is at the core of everything Cleveland does well.

Felipe Rivero, RP, Pirates

Until 2017, Rivero had always been regarded as one of those relievers with a great arm but lacking in control good enough to make him a reliable late-inning option. That got fixed in 2017, and not coincidentally, Rivero became one of baseball’s elite closers. His walk rate fell from 5.9 per nine innings to 2.5, he still struck out over a batter an inning, and his ERA has dropped from 4.09 to 1.72. As long as he can limit the walks, he profiles as an elite reliever for years to come.

Jonathan Schoop, 2B, Orioles

Entering his fifth MLB season, Schoop was regarded as a solid second baseman who had some pop but did not walk much or hit for a high average. He’s still not exactly one for the walks, but he’s proven everything else had much more to come. He has already hit a career-high 32 homers, while his average has risen to a career-best .299. He plays solid defense at the position as well, and it’s him — not Manny Machado nor Adam Jones — who has put up the best offensive season of any Orioles position player.

Luis Severino, SP, Yankees

At the age of 23, Severino in 2017 became the ace of the Yankees more or less out of the blue. After a year that saw him split time between the rotation and the bullpen — and not looking particularly good in either role — he promptly dominated out of the rotation, posting an ERA that hovered around three. He has struck out 221 batters and walked only 50. Not only has Severino anchored the Yankee rotation, but he has also emerged as a player who will likely feature on most AL Cy Young ballots — and deservedly so.

Travis Shaw, 3B, Brewers

The Boston Red Sox had quickly decided that Shaw was not going to be their answer at third base, and elected to include him in a trade for reliever Tyler Thornburg. Shaw made them regret it. In his first season with the Brewers, Shaw has hit .273 with 31 home runs, tying him for first on the team with fellow surprise Eric Thames. Meanwhile, the Red Sox spent much of the season trying desperately to fill an offensive black hole at third base. Perhaps they wish they could have this one back.

Justin Smoak, 1B, Blue Jays

Smoak is one of those post-hype players, a former top prospect who was once the centerpiece of the Texas Rangers’ trade for Cliff Lee. The switch-hitting first baseman never lived up to expectations in Seattle, but he finally had his breakout year in Toronto at the age of 30. His 38 home runs and .271 average are both career bests, and he made his first All-Star team as a result of his great performances. Smoak may never be the superstar he once looked destined to be, but more seasons like this will make him one of the sport’s more feared hitters.

George Springer, OF, Astros

Springer has always been highly regarded, but 2017 saw him take the step from good player to star. For the first half of the year, Springer was keeping pace with Aaron Judge. Though he faded a bit in the second half, his numbers remain impressive — he has a .285 average with 33 home runs, helping him make his first All-Star appearance. Jose Altuve has always been the undisputed star of the Astros, but now Springer can share that mantle with him.

Eric Thames, OF, Brewers

Thames hit 11 home runs in a remarkable April, his first month in MLB since returning from Korea to take one last shot at the majors. Thames’s pace slowed after that, but the impact was already made; he set the tone for a surprising season that has seen Milwaukee in playoff contention right down to the end. Thames still is a co-leader of the Brewers with 31 home runs, got the team off to a good start, and has still contributed since. He definitely deserves a nod for his breakout season.

Fantasy baseball trade deadline reaction -- player waiver and trade value

New Post has been published on https://othersportsnews.com/fantasy-baseball-trade-deadline-reaction-player-waiver-and-trade-value/

Fantasy baseball trade deadline reaction -- player waiver and trade value

A different trade deadline has arrive and long gone, and now comes a person of the most essential phases for us in the fantasy baseball time: Weighing our FAAB and waiver-assert pickups and modifying our rosters through this period of time, which is a person of the couple of times of calendar year where player values shift dramatically.

To recap the modern trade motion, I have broken down down below all of the players most significantly impacted by modern discounts, separating them into 3 groups: “Profitable big,” which are players whose value improved most at the deadline “Spinning their wheels,” which are traded players whose value scarcely changed and “Trending downwards,” which are players who dropped the most value at the deadline.

Each and every player’s value is specific, alongside with a encouraged FAAB (Free of charge Agent Acquisition Price range) rate in AL- or NL-only leagues with a $100 seasonal cap, where relevant.

Profitable big

Eric Karabell sums up Monday’s trade deadline, discusses the Mets endorsing a leading prospect and a Nationals pitcher who is flourishing.

Yu Darvish, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers: The most notable identify to improve teams Monday, and a person of the final kinds to do so, Darvish is also the a person who most benefitted from his improve of landscapes. Nationwide League offenses carry the pitcher to the plate an typical of two.two times for every activity resulting in .123/.156/.159 costs, and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium is a significantly even worse run-scoring surroundings than Texas’ World Life Park, no matter whether you’re applying 2017 or 2012-sixteen details. In addition, Darvish, whose forte is missing bats, moves to baseball’s most strikeout-inclined division, where his Dodgers will enjoy 32 intradivisional video games in their final 57. Though Darvish is my No. 6 beginning pitcher, firmly in the Chris Archer/Madison Bumgarner/Zack Greinke Tier two, a circumstance can be created that Darvish now belongs at the front of that team, directly behind the “big 3” customers of Tier 1 (Max Scherzer/Chris Sale/Corey Kluber). Encouraged FAAB bid: $91.

Brad Hand, RP, San Diego Padres: His not getting traded was a person of the most fantasy-relevant Monday developments, especially just after his Padres paved the way for him to close just after investing Brandon Maurer to the Kansas City Royals on July 24. Hand has been a person of the game’s most powerful relievers, his Period valued ninth-most effective and WHIP 13th-most effective among the pure relievers for every our Participant Rater and his 70 strikeouts ranked sixth, and many thanks to his $1.38 million income, he has no likelihood of sneaking through waivers in August. He’ll keep on being the Padres’ closer for the rest of the calendar year and has genuine leading-ten fantasy opportunity in that purpose (nevertheless I rank him 18th).

Extra men and women enjoy on ESPN than any place else. Be a part of or produce a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Soccer activity! Sign up for free of charge!

Jonathan Lucroy, C, Colorado Rockies: Effectively, duh. Coors Field is a dream landing location for any hitter, especially a person who has found most each a person of his hitting costs drop in assortment of his 2010 rookie calendar year. What Coors simply cannot heal is Lucroy’s unexpected extraordinary-ground-ball tendencies, his fifty six.6 per cent fee this time significantly bigger than his forty two.eight per cent job quantity, but if he can just split the variance among the two, he’d have a a lot much better likelihood at a .275 batting typical heading forward and the leading-8 catcher value that would probable arrive with it. Encouraged FAAB bid: $47.

Robinson Chirinos, C, Texas Rangers: The Lucroy trade paves the way for Chirinos, who positioned ten places much better among the catchers on the Participant Rater at the time of the offer, to choose more than as the Rangers’ new starter. Incorporating Chirinos is a enjoy for power, as considering that the beginning of 2015 he has the second-most effective isolated power (.244) and 3rd-most effective residence-run fee (5.two per cent of his PAs) among the catchers, but with more than enough at-bats that is a great deal to make him a leading-fifteen option.

Hector Neris, RP, Philadelphia Phillies: With Pat Neshek and Joaquin Benoit traded, there are valuable couple of contenders for Neris’ save likelihood heading forward. Neris has the ninth-most strikeouts among the relievers considering that the beginning of last time, through which time he has a two.78 Period and 1.fifteen WHIP. It’d be nice to see him get an expanded look in the purpose, as he’s got the techniques to be a leading-fifteen fantasy closer.

Shane Greene, RP, Detroit Tigers: Pursuing Justin Wilson‘s trade to the Chicago Cubs, Tigers supervisor Brad Ausmus declared Greene his new closer. It can make perception, as Greene has not surrendered a run in 13 July appearances with five holds through that time. He has added obvious velocity to his sinker this time and may however place forth leading-twenty fantasy closer value for the rate of a waiver pickup, nevertheless it really is feasible that he’s just keeping the seat warm for prospect Joe Jimenez.

Brad Ziegler, RP, Miami Marlins: Talking of closers, the Marlins assert that Ziegler, fresh new off the DL, will slide into the purpose vacated by A.J. Ramos’ trade to the New York Mets. From 2015 through July nine, 2016, Ziegler converted forty eight of 52 save likelihood with a two.twenty Period for the Arizona Diamondbacks, so he can definitely do the job. As a pitch-to-get hold of sort, he’ll be riskier in WHIP and subject matter to far more bad nights than the typical reliever, nevertheless he’ll have a extensive leash for as extensive as Kyle Barraclough (shoulder) is sidelined. Ziegler is worth the NL-only add, but his deficiency of strikeouts will probably maintain him beneath the shallow-combined radar.

Spinning their wheels

Sonny Grey, SP, New York Yankees: It grabbed the headlines, but Gray’s arrival in New York did small to shift his fantasy value. He’ll attain in phrases of run assistance, as the Yankees (5.36) typical far more than a run higher for every activity than the Oakland Athletics (4.24) this time, but in exchange will experience a intense ballpark downgrade, especially in phrases of residence runs. Gray’s sinker/changeup combo balances his splits and alleviates some of the ballpark issue, but he’s nonetheless a leading-forty fantasy beginning pitcher, just as he was in Oakland.

Jaime Garcia, SP, New York Yankees: A equivalent matter can be reported for Garcia, who went from the Atlanta Braves to the Minnesota Twins to New York in significantly less than a 7 days, generally attaining a bit in phrases of run assistance. Like Grey, Garcia is a ground-baller, nevertheless to a higher extraordinary, and he’s a still left-hander, the chosen facet from which to pitch at Yankee Stadium. Garcia is a streaming option, but only my No. eighty beginning pitcher next his trade. Encouraged FAAB bid: $22.

A.J. Ramos, RP, New York Mets: His fantasy value may lean closer in the direction of declining than remaining the exact same in New York, but that is presuming Jeurys Familia (shoulder) is ready to return to motion in about a month and pitch like he did before finding damage. In the end, Ramos will close for the Mets just as he did with the Marlins, which retains him in the back conclusion of the leading twenty at the place.

Trending downward

Addison Reed, RP, Boston Red Sox: He’ll choose more than as the Red Sox’s key set up guy to Craig Kimbrel, which is fantastic information to homeowners in leagues that include things like holds, and as Reed’s sixty four will save (twenty) moreover holds (forty four) considering that the beginning of last time is 3rd-most effective in baseball, he should be excellent in the category. The base line, nevertheless, is that Reed stands small likelihood at save options in Boston, barring an unanticipated damage to Craig Kimbrel. Really feel free of charge to drop Reed in a common league, as devoid of will save he’s not even a leading-forty fantasy reliever. Encouraged FAAB bid: $5.

Justin Wilson, RP, Chicago Cubs: He was serviceable in the Tigers’ closer purpose, but the Cubs acquired him to provide as their key still left-handed set up guy, not to threaten Wade Davis‘ job security. Wilson should only get save likelihood on Davis’ times off and/or when facing teams with lefty-laden lineups — observe him get a solitary save on Sept. fourteen versus the Mets’ Michael Conforto/Asdrubal Cabrera/Jay Bruce — creating him only worth keeping on hand in holds leagues. Because he’ll probably accumulate fewer innings than Reed, Wilson is now outside the leading fifty at his place. Encouraged FAAB bid: $1.

Brandon Kintzler and Sean Doolittle, RP, Washington Nationals: They are the two shown listed here due to the fact it really is tricky to gauge which a person will be the Nationals’ closer transferring forward, just after it was challenging to decide on among Doolittle and Ryan Madson when the duo was acquired from the Athletics. Kintzler, the excellent closer to day this time, seems evident, but the threat of a genuine committee does diminish his value fairly. If we realized he’d be the dude, he’d belong in the “spins his wheels” portion earlier mentioned, but a person of these two is undoubtedly heading to experience a intense value drop when shifted to set up obligation. Kintzler is a leading-twenty five fantasy closer now, Doolittle leading-35, but if we get higher clarity by the weekend — quite a few NL-only leagues will not market him till Sunday — Kintzler could develop into a leading-twenty option worth a big FAAB bid. Encouraged FAAB bid (Kintzler): $eighteen, with the opportunity for $30 if he’s closing by your deadline.

Alex Avila, C, Chicago Cubs: One of the Cubs’ couple of remaining needs was that of a veteran backup catcher — worry that word, backup — and Avila in shape the bill. Be aware, nevertheless, that he had started out 30 of fifty Detroit Tigers video games considering that June 1, batting .242/.361/.375 through that time span, and he’s not heading to get that a lot enjoying time in Chicago. Likelihood are, he’ll enjoy two times a 7 days and scarcely wrestle to offer No. two fantasy catcher value. He’s now my No. 21 fantasy backstop. Encouraged FAAB bid: $eight.

Melky Cabrera, OF, Kansas City Royals: In which he suits in with the Royals is the question, as he’s a defensively challenged player who probably profiles most effective as a DH, which is typically Brandon Moss‘ place. Moss’ enjoying time, and consequently fantasy value, may experience far more, but Cabrera is probably heading to see far more nights off than he had in Chicago, while batting lower in the Royals’ lineup. He’s a counting-quantities player whose value is driven by his purpose, and his purpose in Kansas City merely simply cannot be as expansive as his prior purpose in Chicago. He’s out of the shallow-combined rating assortment, and is far more of a leading-sixty all round outfielder.

Waiver Claims

Eric Thames 1B/OF Brewers - Thames has returned from Japan and is off to a smoking hot start batting 379 with 8 homers, 14 RBI and 20 runs scored in 18 games.

Cesar Hernandez 2B Phillies - Hernandez has gotten off to a very nice start hitting 324 with 3 dingers, scored 15 runs, driven in 8 base runners and swiped 3 bases. After such a good spring the young Phillies’ second sacker is playing too well not to be owned.

Zack Cozart SS Reds – Cozart, like 2016, is off to a red hot starting batting 380 with 19 hits in 50 at bats, 7 runs scored, 9 driven in and a homer. The young Red Leg’s shortstop has hits in 8 of his last ten games and add offensive punch to your team.

Mitch Haniger OF Diamondbacks - Haniger continues his impressive rookie campaign batting .316 with hits in 13 of his last 14 games, including 19 hits over this span. The former Arizona farm hand is leading Seattle in RBI with 16, along with 19 runs scored, 4 homers and 2 stolen bases making Haniger a must own.

Corey Dickerson OF Rays - Dickerson is having a nice season in Tampa hitting 324 with 4 long balls to date along with 8 runners knocked in. The former Rockie is on pace for 36 homers and makes for a nice addition to your team.

Jason Vargas SP Royals - Vargas continues his comeback season with just 1 earned run allowed in 20.1 innings this season for a ridiculous ERA of 0.44 and WHIP of 0.77. The Royals southpaw has struck out 23 batters and walked just two in 2017. With two starts for week 4 he makes for a very nice plug and play option.

Amir Garrett SP Reds - Garrett is off to an impressive start to his career with just 4 earned runs spanning 19.2 innings for a sparkling ERA of 1.83 and WHIP of 0.88. The lefty has also punched out 21 batters while walking just 3 runners. With two starts this week he is a must own and start.

Antonio Senzatela SP Rockies - The Colorado rookie is off to an impressive start to his career with just 6 earned runs allowed in 26 frames to date for an ERA of 2.08 and WHIP of 0.85. The Rox righty has K’ed 17 batters while walking just 3 batters, is 3-0 and has gone 7 innings over his last three starts and should be owned in all leagues.

Players on new MLB teams with biggest fantasy value increase or decrease

yahoo

While we’re still waiting on a few high-profile players to find new homes, let’s look at the faces who have changed places on the fantasy scene. As we run through the names, we’ll take an early position with the help of our friends at Inside Edge, a scouting and statistical service whose clients include major league teams.

But first we have to start with an import from Japan and one of the most talked about rookies in baseball history, Shohei Ohtani. Having never seen him play, let’s use a trusted source on not only Japan League players but players in general, Wise Guy Baseball. Wise Guy Gene McCaffrey defers to a Japan correspondent, Michael Cohen, who says Ohtani the pitcher is the most developed young arm among all of those who have pitched in the majors, as well as the hardest throwing. He hit 97 mph in his first spring appearance, when pitchers typically are a few ticks down from their fastest. “He can absolutely be an ace pitcher.” But, Cohen adds, “(As a hitter), he will strike out a lot though the bat speed is for real.” He’s a top 30 arm for sure and reasonable in the sixth or seventh round or so for the strikeout upside. Ohtani also reportedly is a lightning fast baserunner.

Now on to the players who we have bettable big-league data on. Let’s start with one of the biggest risers this offseason, new White Sox closer Joakim Soria. Though he doesn’t have the plus-velocity you would associate with a closer, Soria earned an A-minus in the Inside Edge dominance stats — Ks in four pitches or less, 1-2-3 innings and swing and miss rate of strikes. His swing and miss was 22% where the average was 17%. But he struggles to get his fastball over (62% vs. MLB average of 65%). Soria was super lucky with homers last year and should regress closer to average, which will spike the ERA. But the real problem here is that if he’s really bad, he loses the job and if he’s really good, he likely gets traded into a set-up role in midseason. So you need him to be just good enough but not too good. This is very tricky making Soria worthy of a pick somewhere in the bottom third of drafts.

In Chicago now, but with the North siders, Yu Darvish maybe was tipping his pitches last year. Darvish lost command and dominance and also was hit harder than the average pitcher. I’d speculate but his ADP is too high (46.4), forcing you to pay to gamble that his problems are easily correctable.

Wade Davis will be closing in Colorado but still is the perfect middle-tier closer to target. The data says his skills are intact but he needs to work ahead in the count much better to remain effective. Taking a closer in the first 10 rounds is almost always a losing investment, according to Rob Silver. Davis should be able to replicate what Greg Holland did in 2017 at an attractive price.

Lorenzo Cain goes to a Brewers team that should be expected to run more. Ideally he’d be leading off for this to happen. But that spot may go to Christian Yelich. However, this wastes Yelich’s superior power, especially as a lefty in Milwaukee, which boots lefty homers by about 50%. That means Yelich should hit about 25-to-27 homers this season for the Brew Crew, making him profile as the ideal No. 3 hitter. Cain and Yelich both graded as Inside Edge A-minus hitters (across 24 stats). Yelich had a superior well-hit average (of at bats): .199 compared with .171 for Cain (MLB average was .155).

J.D. Martinez was a monster last year and moves to Fenway, which should be inviting for his homers as a righty (boosts homers for them by 15%). Expect the batting average and general run production to get a significant bump too. But monitor his Lisfranc injury before picking him, as that could limit his ability to generate power with his lower body. Martinez’s well-hit average last year was a sick .236. And it’s been .191 or better the last four seasons.

No change for Eric Hosmer, who some people are downgrading. Hosmer was also an A-minus hitter last year with a .196 well-hit rate. The only thing approaching a weakness for him as a hitter is his chase rate with two strikes (43%), which is just a tick lower than league average. Hosmer is a top-shelf bat and generally a draft bargain.

Carlos Santana should get a boost in power moving from Cleveland to Philly, a 43% bump based on last year’s park data. We cut that in half since only half the games are at home, so plus 4-5 homers, meaning you can pay for about 27 instead of the 23 he jacked last year. His well-hit rate was .201, excellent.

Of the other guys on our list, Corey Dickerson, Cameron Maybin, Brandon Drury and Steven Souza, the most interesting name is Maybin. Yes, he’s a meh hitter on paper — Inside Edge gave him a C-plus; he’s pretty useless against breaking balls and struggles to get on base. However, he can run and the Marlins are going to be so bad that they’ll probably just let him. The floor is 25 steals but the ceiling is 40-plus. I’d much rather roster Maybin late than rabbits like Billy Hamilton and Dee Gordon at their respective ADPs as Maybin could pop double digit homers, too.

The other guys are strictly roster filler, meaning there is a good chance you may drop them. Don’t get swept away by the fantasy love for Dickerson, who was a B-minus hitter with a terrible well-hit rate of .131; Dickerson’s plate discipline is an F across the board (meaning he is far worse than league average in chasing(1) early, (2) with two strikes and (3) non-competitive pitches.
