Welcome back to Overreaction Time with Grey Albright! Did you see Trayce Thompson and C.J. Cron led the league in homers? Wow, they're better than Babe Ruth and Aaron Judge combined. Call them Abe Juth! Does it matter that C.J. Cron led the league in homers last April, hit 13 homers through May and didn't hit as many homers the next three months? No! It doesn't! Cool! Also, Aaron Civale threw a gem? So, he's better than Corbin Burnes! Jorge Mateo's going to steal 70 bases this year? Of course he is! Actually, that's not sarcasm, he just might. Rob Manfred has remade MLB in his likeness: Someone who steals things and puts other people on the clock. Do your own job, Manfred, and stop stealing from the poor, defenseless, weak-armed catchers! One guy who I'm not overreacting about when I say he's an ace is Jeffrey Springs (6 IP, 0 ER, zero hits, 1 walk, 12 Ks). I wrote a Jeffrey Springs sleeper this preseason. I begged people to draft him. Did you? Or did you pretend you were too cool? Or did you draft him but play coy like I wasn't the reason? I rank those people "Did you," "Too cool," "Drafted but played coy." Those third people are the real issue, like Springs is gonna be for MLB hitters this year. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

If you are a reader here at Razzball, you are likely in a number of leagues ranging from season-long to best ball or dynasty.  In the name of the game, we must be thinking about the value of diversification.  For the investment mindset of a fantasy owner, owning a wide range of players can lower your risk by weathering the ups and downs of the season.  That said, even the smartest fantasy writers do not always follow the principles of diversifying their portfolio.  With that premise, every draft season I find myself over indexed to certain players.  This week, our hitter profiles break down guys that sit on too many of my rosters and why I kept investing.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back! This is my first article of the season, and we’re back at it with the streamers! If you’re familiar with my Ride the Wave piece from the past, then you’re in for a treat. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Finally, after months of waiting, the regular season is here. The pomp and circumstance of Opening Day on Thursday has come and gone, but we now have months and months remaining of the best game on Earth! That means we have months and months to discuss who may or may not be some of the best dynasty keepers. This week, I am spotlighting three players who I actually think are all solid dynasty keepers but at varying levels of success. The Players The three players under the spotlight this week are Austin Meadows, Alex Bohm and Nolan Gorman. Meadows was drafted 9th overall in the 2013 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates and was a top 100 prospects every year he was in the minors. He was first ranked 45th in 2014 by MLB.com, 49th by Baseball America and 89th by Baseball Prospectus. He eventually rose as high as 6th by BA, 10th by MLB and 6th by BP in 2017 before finally making his debut in 2018 with the Pirates. Bohm was a standout at Wichita State University, leading the Phillies to select him with the third overall pick in 2018. With the Shockers, Bohm hit .317/.393/.548 with 33 homers and 125 RBI in 166 games over three seasons. By 2020, he was ranked as the 28th best prospect by BA, 20th by MLB and 40th by BP. Gorman is the youngest of this group, entering the season as a 23-year-old. Like Meadows and Bohm, he was a first-round selection as the Cardinals drafted him with the 19th pick in the 2018 draft.
