The WHIP will always be a problem, though. Alex Wood He surprised this year in San Francisco with an excellent slider and velocity at times sitting 92 mph. Not a fan of in-season salary caps as it limits trading, but I like your way of thinking . Didi Gregorius is a free agent after next season, and in the event the New York Yankees let him go -- not that it's especially likely right now -- Torres should slide over to cover shortstop, his natural position. Former college pitcher, travel coach, pitching coach, and Brandeis alum. I will make exceptions for rare talents like Bobby Witt Jr. or Wander Franco level talents.

Gerrit Cole I may be changing this one by February, but its the Mike Trout rule.

Individual draft picks customized, Murderers Row 2.2 (A Yahoo User) Taijuan Walker He had a velocity spike to 95 mph but didnt gain much in his secondaries. Acuna Sandy Alcantara I adore this man and I also recognize his changeup and slider arentalwayson point. Hes expected to get more play in the rotation next year and may turn heads out of the gate if the breaker is on point.

With half the teams tanking, it is not a good time to have to embark on a full rebuild. Diaz has an appealing combination of pop and speed. That is a much harder dance to do, but if I want to consider myself a top keeper league owner, I have to be able to do it. A full healthy off-season should help, though. Hopefully, I have the patience to stay the course. So rather than draft a player I may have to wait four years for, I focus on players likely to arrive in the next couple of seasons. Judge (1) That said, in his defense, if he managed to develop even slightly greater patience by then, it would more than make up for it.

The sinker can work, the curveball is solid, and the changeup has its days. Last year Realmuto was the high mark in our auction for $20 so not sure I get the value out of keeping him either. Theres hope for redemption, but this could be an early cut. His high-strikeout, extreme fly-ball nature makes it likely he'll always struggle with batting average, but Bellinger's power is among the best of any first baseman -- and he'll still be only 26 years old come 2022. the streaming list works and that you do Not need to draft starting pitchers early. 3.

For example, Scott Kingery has made starts at five different positions for the Philadelphia Phillies this season, with the most coming at shortstop, but for 2022, I've projected him as a full-time second baseman. It's Jimenez and Adell who might take you by surprise, but their raw power potential ranks among the best of all prospects. Spidertack could have been a solution for it, though the stuff is still legit. Welcome to Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball. His big question mark, is where does he play. In Dynasty Leagues you can keep as many players as you want for as long as you want. Pitching categories are W, Sv, K, ERA, WHIP. Adjust accordingly to your situation. That guy just didnt know baseball well enough to be in charge. Thoughts? Luis Castillo The first two months were atrocious, his final four came with a sub 3.00 ERA and plenty of strikeouts. I mean I get your hesitation, but Webb Hes a beast, and I doubt theres much thats gonna torch him next season, theres really nothing that he has to fix, and his team doesnt need more from him. Watch this for more. Cheap closers are fantasy gold. I still think Machado's future is at third base, after his outstanding defensive years there in the past, but he'll be a star for years to come -- no matter where he signs this offseason. And even then Ill take a chance if theres a discount built in. This is a fun tier of high potential mixed with solid floors. It might hurt short term, but in the end itll be better. Thats where Im coming from with these rankings and its important to not treat them as a Best Ball ranking. Im willing to bet on a recovery in ERA alongside a revival of his changeup.

All rights reserved. Sliders apparently hurt his arm now and I wonder if he can be as effective without it. Max Scherzer He was the #1 SP in the second half on The List, but you cant ignore the injury floor that isnt present in those above. Thanks, Doug, for ur insight. Many of these pitchers could quickly rise across the 2022 season, though we just dont know if theyll hit their peaks. If Robert can make adjustments and get the batting average to a respectable range, seeing him in the first round of 2022 drafts is well within reach for the uber-talented 23-year-old Cuban outfielder. 125 frames this year could turn into 160+ for Mariners next year. Judge, Witt and Rodriguez are locks. There is currently no message from your commissioner. Im skeptical well get the same velocity back and the health has to be in question. Be careful here if you load up ontoomany of these, you could set yourself up for a potential disaster of a season. A full healthy off-season should help, though. Or Woodruff, who I could see returning a higher value than his projected cost. Trout is an obvious pick, and Benintendi and Acuna are future five-category superstars who today aren't even close to their primes. I broke down all pitches of his MLB debut here. Martinez-$19 Ill share some of my thoughts on the best ways to run a successful keeper league team. Required fields are marked *. I expect him up within a month. Its a limited ceiling, but if you need volume, Stroman has you covered. Jeffress-$3 Jack Flaherty The first half was excellent, then injury slowed him down. Instead, develop a foundation of four starters who wont be sobad that they deserve a drop. It is difficult to move up if you are out of it by June. Been playing over 20 years, but this is my first year in a keeper league, and Im just not sure about the strategy given the variable above. Cal Quantrill It was an incredible second half, though Im skeptical his stuff is as good as the results were. This cant be a surprise, right? I am keeping LHP Kyle Harrison, 2B Miguel Vargas, 3B Brett Baty, SS Ronny Mauricio, 1B Ivan Melendez. Now lets get into the meat of this discussion. Teams are not spending so the player pool has a lot DHP guys (draft/hope &pray) If it comes to that, this might be the time to settle for a minor award & retool rather than bottom out. Great article. Best of the rest: Jorge Alfaro (28) and Mike Zunino (31). 3. Creator of CSW, The List, and SP Roundup. The amount of volatility on these rankings year over year is telling. A Billy Wagner-esque career isn't entirely out of the question. Hopefully he does not catch on as a manager anywhere else. This ones gonna be a little different. Greinke-$31 In keeper leagues, you are limited to a certain number of keepers for a time period limited by a contract or incremental salary increases. I hope we see it, especially with his high 180+ IP potential. Players then get a $5 raise each year. Would feel lucky to get 180 frames again. In fact, theres a virtual Baskin Robbins of keeper league flavors and no one way to win any of them. You dont deserve Shane McClanahan, so just ignore him in drafts. Patrick Sandoval We saw the ace potential during his July as his changeup and slider were whiff machines. Id have to research Collier and Melendez a little more to give a detailed answer, but if talent levels are remotely close I choose the player that is closer to the Major Leagues. Luis Urias-$3, Pitching Strikeouts galore, Win potential, excellent ratios, all of it. One year was in 2nd place mid June. If youre in an auction keeper league you know all too well what keeper league inflation is all about. What Im trying to say is, todays rankingswill be vastly different in February. Nothing has changed inside his repertoire to speak otherwise. Joe Musgrove Fluctuated a bit through the year and dealt with a tough schedule. Scherzer was at the end of the second round, Woodruff was early third, and Ohtani was ~ 8th. I think there is a lot of upside on some pitchers expected to be cheap this year, but it seems like a lot of risk to rely on them for more than 1 or 2 spots. Murderers Row 2.2 (A Yahoo User) Ive gone back and forth on many variations considering injuries (seager), time spent in the majors (Eloy) and average/lineup position (Anderson) but would appreciate some thoughts! Josiah Gray He lost his command in September, but got it back by the end. Im willing to bet multiple of these pitchers will do well in 2022 but they are awfully boring and can be considered aToby. Urias' ceiling was that of one of the best pitchers in fantasy, and with positive reports on his rehab thus far, he could recapture that status by 2022. Carlos Rodn We expected 93.5 mph from Rodn this year and instead got ~96 mph consistently, followed by heavy fatigue in September. Too much can happen in just a few years and sadly many leagues dont make it for the long haul. The total roster is 23 players, including 9 pitchers. Hopefully pitch efficiency takes a step forward. Curveball never took off like we wanted it to. Grabbed Leclerc early on last year hoping he could harness his command and paid off big. This list tilts more toward fantasy (standard 5x5 roto) potential than MLB potential. I spend a lot of money on elite players I know other people will value highly. Chris Archer $25 I had thought about both Verlander and Severino so I would not have to think about pitching in the draft, but wasnt sure who would be my 3rd. Kimbrel, meanwhile, still has nearly as good stuff now as he did as a rookie, and 33 isn't exactly old for a closer. Sleeper: Peter Alonso (27). Its in my nature. There are just too many variables to offer up all of the answers in one article. So rather than figure out inflation by a flat percentage, I suggest you figure out how much extra money there is and manually allocate it predominantly to the top couple tiers at each position. The development of SIscore started with the theory around average player scores. Yusei Kikuchi When hes at 96 mph, Kikuchi can excel with his slider and cutter stealing strikes. Over-reliance on the slide has me a little worried hell become a dependable play. I have been playing in keeper leagues for over 17 years and Ive learned a lot over that time. With 5 keepers (5 yr max), Im sure about two of mine: But Im wondering who you would take for the other 3 from these top 7 Im sitting on. Yu Darvish Hes the premiumCherry Bombas his command fluctuates from start to start. Chris Sale His changeup took a step back and the heater was a bit inconsistent. Id keep J.D. 180+ innings of quality seem to be in order for I'm not ready to give up on him, as the skills are still there even if the results aren't. Jackie Bradley-$1 If its a one-catcher league I definitely let Realmuto go. For this edition, I figured Id be a madman and write a very short blurb about each starter to give you a general feel of my thoughts on that guy and to showcase this isnt just some random he doesnt know this pitcher at all! ranking. Top-400 Fantasy Baseball Prospects Updated 1/9/2023 Qualifications: 130 MLB AB or less, 50 MLB IP or less, 45 days or less on the active roster Showing 1 to 400 of 400 entries Media Credit: Did you enjoy these rankings? You need to join better leagues. "Sleeper" picks, however, do not necessarily follow this order. Ive admittedly fallen into this category for a lot of my fantasy life. SP Noah Syndergaard. First half featured a changeup for whiffs, sliders for strikes, and a well command heater. $8 Peralta. They all have the volume you want of an SP #1, but they do have a touch more concern than those in Tier 1. Im lower on Correa than most and while I love Bryant, hes not quite what we want him to be IMO. He was on the "All-2018 Team," one of the picks that paid off the most, and he's still on the list for 2022, considering how well his power potential should hold up year over year. Today, he's one of the best players in fantasy baseball and on the field. Web1. Tyler Mahle His Home/Road splits were as transparent as they come, though the slider hasnt developed as well as we hope. I will use 3 or 4 spots for relievers. Custom non-snaking draft order set for all rounds, Mushroom Kingdom Bombers (A Yahoo User) Feel free to grab these instead of those in Tier 8 if you believe in their hot streaks. As it happened, I did win the league the next year with that same core and a little more luck on the injury front. It's all good. 2022 Keeper Value Rankings - Top 150 Overall for Fantasy Baseball 11 months ago by JB Branson Follow JB What Appears In This Article? I have the following options: Greene's and Reyes' inclusions are probably the most unexpected, but the former has outstanding stuff at 18 years old, which gives him plenty of time to polish his command over the next three seasons. So many battled for a spot in this tier and these are arms to keep an eye on in the spring. For this reason, if I can grab a cheap catcher or luck into a bargain closer, I will not hesitate to keep them. Im notthat crazy. Severino $5. Rogers $7 Hamels. What do you think of Stripling and Archer? Jess Luzardo Luzardo was lost for ages until he began tossing under 40% fastballs. Collier did a Bryce Harper and graduated High School early and played in Jr College at 17 and did well. No offensive position has seen as significant a decline in fantasy value during the past decade, and it seems that teams are increasingly concerned about defense from their catchers. Verlander and Severino have obvious question marks, but if they return to previous levels theres no way to get that in the draft. All rights reserved. Those high-dollar players I purchased at auction are going to be on everybodys wish list during the regular season. Fantasy Baseball: Top 50 keepers for 2022 based on last year's ADP If you have to factor "value" into your keeper decisions, this list is for you. Heres my reasoning. The sum of these difference are then added up and redistributed to the rest of the player pool. I think May will end up with the most saves when its all said and done, but agree Parker isprobably given a chance as well. 1B Paul Goldschmidt document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "a5ad4bdf72e5f9700079ec0ca612f74b" );document.getElementById("fe53143262").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. No, Im not doing another 75 blurbs right now. Luis Garcia His first half was glorious and the second half brought a heavy reduction in his slider, possibly a product of fatigue. Im leaning toward the latter, though I wouldnt ignore the expected regression of some kind (90% LOB rate!). Marcus Stroman He never fails to hold a FIP under 4.00 and while there were fluctuations in his slider, cutter, and splitter, the sinker kept him valuable through the season. Also what do you think Nate Pearsons roll will be next year? Germn Mrquez Coors is undefeated yetMrquez finds a way to be productive through the year. If so, who are my last 3 with Judge replacing Arozarena? Cool, lets get started. He's still good enough with the bat to eventually bat .280, has enough pop for 15 homers and can steal 30-plus bases. At this point, youshouldhave at least four starters you trust to not drop during the season, which opens you up to chase as many ceiling arms as you want. So in addition to the low-priced players I bought at auction, Im hopefully adding the cream of the keeper crop. But when other owners began to follow with a stars and scrubs approach, it was time for me to spread the wealth. Injuries are so much more of a factor for pitchers that I am a bit hesitant to extend more than two years. This time I chose the latter. Sleeper: Manuel Margot (27). Certainly, age is a consideration, but Im not worried about a players age until theyre in the 33-year-old neighborhood. Best of the rest: Juan Soto (23), Mookie Betts (29), Kyle Tucker (25), Bryce Harper (29) and Byron Buxton (28). Anthony DeSclafani He was a popular grab early in the year and Im not sure his fastball/slider combo separates him far enough from the waiver wire in 2022. Ronald Acuna Jr. Shane McClanahan. The San Diego Padres will have a decision on their hands once both Urias and Tatis are major-league ready, but Urias' hit tool gives him a good chance at batting-average success -- and his glove is capable enough to stay at short.
