2017 Fantasy Baseball Chatter

[ColonelCrazy]

I know we have several BGPers that play fantasy baseball. My draft is coming up, and I'm doing a bit of research now. Any predictions for breakout seasons?

Bryant has received most of the attention, but I think Rizzo is going to have a huge year.

I already drafted, not sure what to do with Matz. Looks like he might start the year on the DL.

I think Stroman is in for a big year. Machado has 3B/SS eligibility which is huge in some leagues. I don't really have any crazy sleepers of any kind in mind. Depending on the league I think Peraza could be a sleeper due to his ability to play multiple positions and I think he will keep hitting.

Thinking about trying to stash Matz on the DL with a late round pick.

Not a bad idea. I'd rather he start on the DL and not in the minors.

I think I'll have an opportunity to get Thor & Degrom (likely one, not both). If nothing else, they're fun to watch.

These aren't breakouts, but guys to really look at in the mid to late rounds:

 

Yasmany Tomas - .270 31 HR in 140 games last year

Michael Brantley - seems to be healthy and ready

Robert Gselman - Could be DeGrom 2.0

Jon Gray - If he didn't pitch in Coors, he would be rated much higher

Greg Holland - Is unhittable when healthy.....he is healthy

Daniel Norris - Could be this year's Fulmer.

One guy that I like a lot is Tyler Chatwood, from Colorado. He had unreal numbers away from Coors Field last year. In fact, I think his road numbers were the best of anyone in baseball not named "Kershaw". The problem is, half of his starts will be at Coors where he is not good.

I'm looking to add a player that's going to start the season on the DL.

 

We have two DL spots. Just picked up Andrew Cashner to fill one DL spot, but I need to add another player for the DL. I'd prefer a pitcher but am open to suggestions.

 

Thoughts?

I miss fantasy baseball. Haven't played in a couple years.

I added Chris Owings today. Hitting at the top of AZ's lineup and stealing bases. Should score some runs with that lineup.
