I don’t like writing sleeper posts about the same guy more than once in a three-year period. If I wrote a Maikel Garcia sleeper last year, I would not be here today, no matter how much I liked him, and I do like him. Have to admit to making sure I didn’t write a Maikel […]

Happy New Year and Happy Holidays. I hope the holiday season has been one of joy and happiness for you.
That said, welcome to the first installment of the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025. This week and next I will take two giant bites out of the countdown as I rank the players from 400-301 this week and then 300-201 the following week. After that will come bite sized looks of the final 200 players.
I know for a fact that some of you will not like my rankings. But I have my biases and certain ways I evaluate fantasy players and have done so for decades. So take these rankings as a starting point and adjust as you see fit. No matter what, I hope these rankings will be a useful tool for you.
Secondly, you will not see any prospects in my rankings unless they have debuted in the majors. So you will not see Anthony Quinn ranked, nor Owen Cassie or a host of other top prospects. I also did not rank Kumar Rocker as 11.2 innings of work on the MLB level barely counts. But if you are wondering, I really like him as I traded for him in two leagues earlier this offseason.
With that said, let’s get started.

Look at position eligibility like this, you have a toolbox filled with different positions, and you need a certain position for a certain hole in your lineup, or a screw for a certain hole to secure a latch. If you use the wrong screw, then the latch will be loose and you’ll need to translate […]

Guardians traded Josh Naylor for Slade Cecconi and I have to assume Slade Cecconi knows where the bodies are buried. Nothing else makes sense. I’d happily say Josh Naylor was too expensive for the Guards, but he was the same-ish as newly signed Carlos Santana. What is [five minutes after downing ayahuasca] going on? This […]

A portion of the pitching market is waiting to see where Roki Sasaki goes, but that didn’t stop Washington from taking a flier on Mike Soroka, who salvaged his 2024 season by becoming a dominant reliever. You might’ve seen the stats already, but his full-season strikeout rate of 24.8 percent and WHIP of 1.38 doesn’t tell the tale of his final few months, during which he recorded a 43.3 percent strikeout rate and 0.90 WHIP over 23.1 innings. Baseball folks have long suspected that Soroka’s command could lead to an increased strikeout rate across time; just didn’t expect the leap to happen all at once out of the bullpen. That’s life though. Development is not linear, and it’s no real surprise that Soroka’s evolution happened after the career near-death experience of failing out of the White Sox starting rotation. He’s an excellent sleeper candidate for 2025 even as his price will no doubt rise while the dreamers gather around the glow of Soroka’s small-sample peripherals.

After giving you my Luis Garcia Jr. sleeper, I felt like I had to balance out the Force. I had to regain my sleeper cred. I can’t have you out on the mean streets of Fantasy Baseball Community Forums or Fantasy Baseball subreddit and talking about how I was giving only softball sleepers. Underhanded-toss-to-babies sleepers! […]

Welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. Today is the end of the road for this series as the focus falls on the right fielders as well as the few designated hitters worth talking about.
Before focusing on the right fielders, I want to give a quick rundown of the top 10 designated hitters. A few of the players may be able to get eligibility in the field in 2025, but most will likely remain tethered to the UTL slot in 2025. But thanks to their ability to hit, they are still solid to great players to have on your team.
As for the right field position, it ranks as one of the best positions as far as depth and talent. Lots of sluggers live in right field while there are also a host of players who can provide steals as well as a solid slash line.
But enough chatter. Let’s get on with the rankings, first the top 10 designated hitters followed by the top 50 right fielders.

1. RHP Jackson Jobe | 22 | MLB | 2024
At his best, Jobe pairs impeccable command with incredible spin rates. His four-pitch mix is headlined by a hungry four-seamer that eats all over the strike zone, where he might need to live a little more going forward, even as he managed a 1.95 ERA and 1.04 WHIP despite a 4.64 BB/9 rate across 73.2 Double-A innings. He allowed just two home runs over that stretch. He’ll almost certainly look like one of the team’s five best starters in spring training, but he’s thrown just 13 innings above Double-A, so there’s at least a chance he opens the season in Triple-A. The name itself portends at least a little suffering before reaching the promised land.

Last year was a baad year for Lars Nootbaar. Or was it?! Damn, Mr. Reversal, I honestly didn’t expect to see you here. Or did you?! No. Wait, what? You’re confusing me now. Or am I?! Yeah. Okay. So, I went trolling through Statcast for some potential outfielder sleepers and Nootbaar, straight from the Wawa […]
