Los Angeles Dodgers Top 10 Prospects For 2024 Fantasy Baseball

1. OF Andy Pages | 23 | AAA | 2024 

Pages could be part of the Dodgers’ story in 2024 from chapter one if he can hit a little this spring. Might need an injury or two to break camp but figures to get written into the lineup by the time summer rolls round. Might’ve happened this year if not for a torn labrum that ended his season in June, just one game into his Triple-A career. At 6’1” 212 lbs, Pages features double-plus power, plus patience and a strong throwing arm from a corner-outfield profile. The shoulder injury throws this into question, of course, but if he comes all the way back, he could make an early impact.

Dynasty Diaries: Flotsam and Jetsam

I got a trade vetoed by the trade committee.

I traded Bret Baty for two prospects, Jefferson Rojas and Haydn McGeary.  I was selling low on Baty, and buying a couple of prospects that I thought would breakout this year.  The trade was vetoed, and I’m totally fine with it.  I fully expected to have some minor hiccups like this along the way and that’s why there’s a trade committee in the first place.

2024 Early Fantasy Baseball Draft Rankings

November 30, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Featured | 35 Comments

by:

Well, I’ve done a couple of mock drafts already, so I figured it would only be appropriate to take a first shot at 2024 rankings. This is the earliest I’ve done baseball rankings, maybe ever. I have a general disdain for rankings, but give the people what they want. Every time I look at my rankings I change something, so feel free to give me your constructive criticism, but know that I’m looking at them constantly too.

Colorado Rockies Top 10 Prospects For 2024 Fantasy Baseball

1. SS Adael Amador | 20 | AA | 2025

A plus hit tool combines with above average power and excellent plate skills to make Amador the easy number one in this organization. A switch-hitter at 6’0” 200 lbs, he slashed .302/.391/.514 with nine home runs, 12 stolen bases, 26 strikeouts and 31 walks in 54 games at High-A Stockton. His ten games in Double-A didn’t go as smoothly, but it’d be premature to care. More useful to note that he earned that promotion as a cherry on top of a good season than to parse the small sample. I have 2025 as the ETA here, but that’s partly because the Rockies figure to be out of contention by the time Amador might be ready to graduate Triple-A if he has another strong season.

Jordan Lawlar, 2024 Fantasy Outlook

First off, here’s what I said when he was called up this year, “Was listening to Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere (Remastered) when I saw the news that Jordan Lawlar was being promoted, and the wind chimes playing in the background were perfectly timed as I spun out, arms outstretched, seeing stars because my equilibrium isn’t that good. Then […]

Arizona Diamondbacks Top 10 Prospects For 2024 Fantasy Baseball

1. SS Jordan Lawlar | 21 | MLB | 2023

The snakes slithered into the World Series on the strength of Corbin Carrol’s fantastic rookie season and some dynamite outings from the starting rotation. Lawlar’s on the books with a chance to repeat Carroll’s rookie of the year feat and establish himself as an everyday player in the top half of a contending lineup. At 6’2” 190 lbs, Lawlar plays plus defense at shortstop and brings plus power and speed on offense. The hit tool was his only question mark, but Lawlar answered that with a midseason surge that landed him in Triple-A, where he slashed .358/.438/.612 with five home runs, three stolen bases and 12 strikeouts in 16 games. He joined the big league club in September but couldn’t keep the hits coming and batted (and slugged) .129 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate in 14 games. Would’ve been nice to see him help enough to have an obvious job entering 2024, but a couple weeks of 0-fers is no big deal for a guy his age debuting during a pennant race.

Masyn Winn, 2024 Fantasy Outlook

November 23, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Rookies, Featured | 32 Comments

Masyn Winn hit 2 homers and stole two bags in 122 ABs in the majors, while hitting .172. Welp, what are we doing here? Are we now covering stinkers? The Diabolical Voice In My Head, “Hey, if we’re going to cover stinkers, we should cover you, Grey!” That’s not cool. “May not be cool, but at least it doesn’t stink, like you!” Damn, way harsh. So, there’s a case to be made Masyn Winn is a stinker like that Diabolical Voice In My Head said. “It’s you, man, you’re the diabolical voice!”

2024 Top Keepers – Shortstops

November 22, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers, Featured | 14 Comments

by:

The journey through the 2024 Top Keepers continues this week with a look at the top shortstops. Compared to some of the other positions we’ve covered, shortstop is actually a pretty deep position. If you get stuck with a Tier 4 player, like a Jeremy Pena or Tommy Edman, you still have a decent shortstop on your hands.

Even in Tier 5 (players ranked 31-40), you still can get a decent utility player or fulltime shortstop with some solid upside. Meanwhile, the top shortstops are players who are not just the best at this position, but are some of the best players in the game. Overall, this is a strong group of players.

Now, on to the rankings!
