Even with a minimal keeper markup, you're getting him at a value of only a round or two, but for a 25-year-old with a stable profile at the weakest position in Fantasy right now, you have to do it. Devin Williams. Id think he has that closer spot locked up, and hes been pretty shut-down all year.

If I felt more confident that he will get regular PT in 2020, hed be in the 250-300 range. Wasnt going top rank a rookie reliever with one month of success too high. What do you think? All he needs is a chance to start regularly. As an exampled, in your positional rankings for SS on the 18th, you have Jazz Chisholm SS 8 spots higher than Jeter Downs SS. Thanks.

Im not certain how he fits in the Rockies plans moving forward. Bottom line, though, is that the discount isn't that much, particularly in the format where he's most valuable. Yea, Id take this. They are not even in the same class. Whereas the main purpose of the Keeper Value Formula is for customization based on specific leagues and keeper costs, I create these yearly rankings with standard 12 team league data, 2021 ADP, and 23rd Round cost for UDFA just as a baseline to help managers get an idea of their options. Better, then, to treat it as more of a rough guide than gospel truth. I like Mize, but hes NEVER had ace level strikeout rates. Stats To Display.

I know hes blocked by Freddie Freeman at 1B but his debut, regardless of age, seemed to be outstanding. I like him, just not going gaga over him like others. What about Jordan Romano? Josiah Gray for as long as they want. Dominic seems to just need a starting opportunity.

Head didnt miss by much, but his proximity to the Majors factored in here. Minimal value. NA counts towards the 12. Honeywell wouldve made the list but is incredibly risky at this point.

For prospects, Gore, Pearson, and Manning are no-doubt targets. CJ Abrams Sale Hey Matt, would love to connect. Jwendle Even heyward. Upside Id say is similar, but Wong probably has the higher floor. A workhorse who began to find his groove as a bat-misser in the second half, Alcantara outshines Urias on a pure skills level, but the supporting cast, at least for now, drops him behind. Kiermaier,K* Thanks so much! Thanks for the reply and I apologize for not getting back quicker. Who out of these 7 would you not keep? Not currently worried about pitching. 11 Pitching Streamers to Target in Week 5, Top Hitting Prospects In Double-A Right Now, Week 5 Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Targets. How could you not JUMP at an offer of Franco for Kelenic?! What are your thoughts on Brandon Lowe, can he repeat seasons like 2020 year after year? . My top is Giolito and I also have Ohtani. This ranking might show too much restraint. So i am looking for guys who may be undervalued now, that will jump when people re-evaluate how their season went in the offseason. Pena and Seager are close. Lastly, any prospects on or off this list that could be severely undervalued and rise at least 150 or more spots by next year? Snell Hopefully that pays off. Im not saying he should be top 200-300 but there are pitchers he must land in front of, Like Keona Kela for example. What do you think.

E Hancock Eric Cross is no longer with Fantrax. If you had to expand another 10-20 players which would you include? Mainly, because I dont expect this level of power to sustain longterm. These days, you can't trust a pitcher to take on a full workload until you actually see him do it, but given the strides he made in 2021, another 40 innings would make Peralta and out-and-out stud. Myers is a bit of a wild card but Id be willing to roll the dice on the GABP effect this season. Sherten Apostel Still think hes a solid asset, but he doesnt run and doesnt have huge power. By Scott White Jan 4, 2022 at 6:04 pm ET . No, I wouldnt make that move. Or are there other promising pitchers you could suggest to help me? RP German Mize has never been a big K guy so he really needs to have low ratios. Heliot Ramos In my personal rankings, you have seven of my top-30 or so for SPs. Part of me hates the thought of devoting a precious keeper slot to a catcher who's still in development, but Varsho has a chance to be a unicorn at the position, splitting his time in the outfield and stealing a bunch of bases. Pitchers of note: B. McKay, Teheran, Rodriguez, M. Wacha, T. Mahle, M. Keller, and B. Keller. Thank you for checking them out! Because Im assuming boom or bust players get a bump in shallower leagues. You have plenty of depth so consolidating and getting a top arm is a good idea.. Basically my whole farm system. But he's still young, a veritable workhorse, and has a three-year stat line as good as any. [CDATA[ Joe Pisapia. Yet another instance of a player whose wacky 2020 threw us off the scent, Montas continued his 2019 breakthrough with a mesmerizing final three months in which he trusted his splitter more than ever. Pena was listed ahead in the top 250 prospects, so Im interested in what vaulted Puason up so high.

Due to a lot of trades and waiver wire pitching, I have the following players: Juan Soto 2022 Fantasy Baseball Rankings From The Most Accurate Experts Thanks so much! You like Dunn more than him? Great work! Great work as always! Should be all fixed now. Soto,J* Obviously, Luis is a phenomenon but do you think that he will produce enough next year (fantasy wise) to garner a keeper pick? Im a fan of Hilliard. Each team can keep up to 12 players without penalty (draft pick, salary, etc.) Thanks for putting this list together, as well as all of your other ones. Not sure who Id be looking to pick in lieu of hi, but Coby Mayo is top of the list right now. Thanks! I do. Will your 2021 dynasty rankings be updated again in March before the season starts?

Means will be in my next update (likely next week or week after). *Yes, I removed Fernando Tatis Jr. and Chris Sale. Oswald Peraza You don't have to weigh the draft picks or dollars you'd be forfeiting by keeping one player vs. another. Advice on keepers? Paddacks value is dropping each time he takes the ball, and Sale is past the point where he should have been dealt (yeah, yeah hindsight is 20/20, but still), but still has the name value and past results that someone may still buy into. Alcantara ($6) Other then speed whats makes Tatis Jr or Soto better than Vlad in Dynasty league since the start of last year i feel what i have heard Vlad has the best bat and he will compete for Batting titles in years to comes. I appreciate what you do! 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. Aaron judge Burnes of course had a huge year. Is Tatis getting bumped down in the wake of another big IR stint ahead? Shallow rosters of around 25 players. thoughts on Jon Means. Sorry for the delay in responding. All you have to do is keep your best players. Good thing I have the right one). Opinions on a couple of the Korean transfers: Honestly, Im never high on foreign arms right away, unless its an Ohtani type player. Id go Soto, Bregman, Robert, Trea, Devers, Yordan followed by J-Ram and Eloy. Id keep DJ, Castillo, Maeda, Albies, Devers, Machado, Snell, Smith (assuming its LA catcher). Think you could get a better hitter for him. Chris Clegg and I just published our top-100 FYPD rankings on Friday. 10 team h2h, 55 plus OBP, SLG, QS, Holds. Thank you. 3. 1B Vaughn $4 Will his earning the rotation spot bring him into the top 500? Awesome update, Eric! 8 Starting Pitchers. CI Christian Walker What are your thoughts on this trade? Eric Cross' Positional 2022 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Dynasty Keeper Rankings 75-51 - Razzball Fantasy Baseball Top-300 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings - FantraxHQ Bellinger might be the only one Id change, but if youre confident in him bouncing back, your current 12 are fine. Thank you for your time, Ill see if I can swing it! Also, what do you think Pearsons role will look like in 2021? Berrios $19 I appreciate it. I like Grissom more and more every time I watch him, but there are so many prospects in that range near the back end of my top-500. Unless I missed him. Start there. Also important note, it is a points league and you only get a MAX of 6 starts from pitchers each week. In leagues that score OBP instead of AVG, Juan Soto has an argument to leap above Julio Rodriguez and Ronald Acuna. With that said, Im not high on him longterm. Fantasy baseball - Way-too-early 2022 H2H categories rankings Id keep kelenic there. 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. My updated rankings will be out on Monday in which some RPs will be higher. One to cut between Jared Walsh, Garrett Cooper, and Wil Myers. 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. Interested why the gap between Puason and Erick Pena. Just starting to draft for my first ever Dynasty League. Fry,P* coin flip the next 2 from the pool of Devers, Bregman & JoRam, leaning JoRam if youre dead set on competing for the championship this year (and Id assume so if its an 8 team league, everyone should be a contender), or if youre somehow working a rebuild, Id lean Devers just for the fact hes 4 years JoRams junior. Unfortunately, I can't tailor these rankings to every variation of this keeper format, so here are my general priorities, beginning with the highest: Again I can't tailor these rankings for every variation of this specific keeper format, and for every league that's existed more than a year, you'll also have to consider players locked in at lower costs from previous drafts. LF Tucker $6 Christian Yelich Hi Eric, Dude slashed 297/369/503 in the heart of the Tigers lineup and at 26, is just now heading into his prime. Adrian Houser 1 $16 Bichette for $33 Lindor, $2 Teoscar, and $10 Musgrove Hes moving up. Why is Meadows ranked higher than Kepler and Muncy? His rookie season may ultimately go down as the high point in his career, but the 24-year-old bounced back nicely enough from his 2020 knee scare, presenting us with this second opportunity to keep him at a discount. Trade two looks very enticing. Thank you for what you do. I have a potential to make a trade for Burnes, who has three cheap years left on his contract. Do you think its worth the risk and that he will figure things out? +$3 every year a player is kept, values above show cost going into next year. Having a tough time choosing between the following: Josh Donaldson, Gary Sanchez, Jake Cronenworth, Dylan Moore, John Means, or Trevor Rosenthal. A Rizzo This update was done before he really started hitting well. 3) CH stinks. Like that strategy. Dynasty League Positional Rankings Catchers First Basemen Second Basemen Shortstops Third Basemen Outfielders Starting Pitchers Relief Pitchers. Any other guys I should look into? Draft season is a glorious time of year where us junkies can get our draft fix as early and often as we desire. Anderson,B I am in a dynasty league and was offered jake McCarthy and a 2024 2nd round pick (we only draft prospects from the previous years draft and international signings) for Daniel Espino. All Players American League National League. How can I leverage? How high would Ohtani be on your list if this were a daily league where he can be used as a pitcher and hitter? 6 keepers each team. Ryan Mountcastle Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @RowdyRotoJB to check out your specific league's values. Other potential options are K. Freeland, C. Bassitt, J. Dunn but I just cant get excited about this group. Worth it to upgrade 2b and win now or hope that Adell and Greene hit their ceiling for years to come? Being close to the Cards, I would say adjust that expectation. Would you trade him at all?? If you're turning over more than half your roster and retaining only a handful -- say, 4-5 players -- then as a general rule, the players you're keeping are the players who'll do you the most good right now. I am extremely high on Meyer but Im torn because Kirby is a good replacement as well. Castro,H* Glasnow Hey Eric! I have Volpe and Noelvi in my minors. Hi Eric, thanks for everything you do. Those Ks throughout pro career speak to very high risk, and he has 9 just games at AA. you do not have him ranked- is this on purpose or just the last update occuring before the last 30 days where he has retrurned to fantasy relavent. Severino still has immense upside. My team is rebuilding. Mitch Haniger was a keeper from last year. I have Lindor in my SS an we speak so I have the flexibility to move Franco. Offering the optimal blend of power, speed, youth and versatility, he'd surely claim the top spot, even at a first-round cost, if not for his troublesome shoulder. Maeda ($6) Now, for your convenience, here are the Top-150 Overall Keeper Values for 2022. Even if he regresses to his usual numbers (which I wouldn't go so far as to predict), he'll probably live up to the cost. What are your thoughts on Bryce Ball? Thanks or the list. How many first rounders would it take? Max Muncy Flores,W Ads help us pay RotobBaller's award-winning writers as much as possible they are vital to the site's operations and team. Fiers,M But the temptation is real given that he's not yet 25 and already so bankable. Eric this is great. Trying to rebuild pithing depth in my minors. I am sitting 2 points out of 1st in an 8 team, short bench, keep-5 roto league. Saw your comments on Donovan not being a long-term starter. . In the 525-550 range right now. I see Waters slipping in everyones rankings and continue to hear nothing but bad things about his play on the field.
