Is it time for Reynaldo Lopez to return to the top 400? Hitter Ohtani would be around 15th, pitcher Ohtani around 100. Who would you rather trade away in this scenario. Do I try to get 12 best players 8 batters 4 pitchers? As for the ranking, I felt like I had the catchers (Adley too) ranked a bit too high compared to others in that range. I need to see more sustained success from Lopez, and in general, I dont think he has that level of upside. Hey Eric, as always I appreciate all you do for the fantasy baseball community! Love the content as always though. Though he's coming off an outlier season on the wrong side of 30, you shouldn't have any reservations about keeping Wheeler. Domingo was looking great until a major slump after his injury this year. Should be all fixed now. Do you think this is a fair offer or too little? 340 & 351, i wish there WERE two of him then id have a better shot to get him in my draft. Any changes you would make? Thanks! Pena and Seager are close. +$3 every year a player is kept, values above show cost going into next year. Wonder how you feel about selling out for pitching prospects? As high as you have been in him in other places, and where you have him ranked there compared to guys that show up on this list, that surprises me. Is Tatis getting bumped down in the wake of another big IR stint ahead? I still believe hell right the ship, just not to superstar levels.

Im thinking of trading 2 for 1 to update top talent. 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 dont think you should discount the fact that hes a 30-20 guy who quals CF and put a bunch of guys who arent going to ever do those kind of numbers ahead of him. Hes still a buy imo because speed is so scarce, but I wouldnt expect more than 10. Jonathan India Id probably just focus there if thats the case. For what its worth, I acquired Rizzo this offseason for two players, including Luis Ortiz, who is ~80 spots higher here than the two you mentioned. Got an offer for my Jose Ramirez of CJ Abrams, Bohm, Grisham. 2B Jazz $0 Soto, Trout, Tatis, Acuna or someone else?! I dont watch baseball. Thanks for reading!

I'd like a few more strikeouts, but given the cost, I can't complain. Springer Both Will Smiths are RPs Im Atlanta. 2b Hiura OF set with Harper/Alvarez/Buxton/Judge/Soto. How far out of the 500 is Jesus Aguilar? He has great counting numbers. Seeing this super late, but that lineup is severely lacking power if/when Cruz/Goldy are hurt or slump, so hopefully you worked a deal for a power OF bat. My squad: Juan Soto, Shane Bieber, Wander Franco, Pete Alonso are locked in. Sorry for the delay. Nice power/speed mix. Witt isn't quite as can't-miss as Franco but could make a more immediate impact in home runs and stolen bases. Jonathan India Maybe try and package Marte and one of the arms for a top-75 player or so. Hi Eric, And if you're keeping them all at the same cost, then yeah, the redraft rankings should work fine. FBT: Drury's tear; Baty's breakout; news and notes, Weekend Preview: Key starts, injuries, bullpen news. Current OF (4 OF League) is Yelich/Kris Bryant/Renfroe. Any chance Rockies give Hampson and Hilliard 500 550 abs ?

Hes in a massive cluster that was considered for the back-end. U Villar, SP Hendricks Max Muncy Snell ($12). Year 2. Yup. Curtis Mead Josiah Gray Highest potential/low risk reward? Thanks for the reply and I apologize for not getting back quicker. Quick Q: if you were in a league where Ohtani was two players, SP and Utility, where would you rank each on this list? I know you have Tork higher, but would you trade Lamet for Torkelson in a points league where pitchers are really valuable? and minor drafts, and I am unsure if my catcher will be good enough. Great work, as always! Still only 29 and perhaps not fully appreciated for his power/speed prowess, Ramirez also has third base going for him, which is a nightmare position this year. The majority of good keeper options tend to fall into this category. The idea is if you don't use a keeper selection here you can likely still draft that player in the vicinity of their 2021 cost. The same for Bichette applies for Tucker, though he's a year older and may not be as reliable for stolen bases. Id probably want two from #2 to deal Tucker there.

Polanco and T. Turner is sizable when Turner plays a full season. C.
