Im not a fantasy guy, but the Alek Thomas shout sounds good. I wouldn’t say he’s a Soto/Acuña type, but he flies under the radar in ‘Zona. Great sleeper pick for RoY.
He’s got incredible numbers, but it’ll be interesting to see him go in less hitting-friendly environments, especially playing so much vs. NL West arms/ballparks. IMHO, SF RP Camilo Doval and CIN RP Hunter Greene both look like they contend for the award that rarely goes to bullpen arms (that’s if Greene sticks it out in the ‘pen).
I dunno, CIN already has open SP spots and could have more depending on trades. I think Greene gets a run as a SP, just a question if he’s crushing it off the bat (I think he’s a better bet as a really good SP in 2023, but that’s just me).
Love the fantasy content!
Some good insights, but a bit slapdash at times. On Mookie Betts, “I believe he had the 20 games required” for 2B eligibility – it was actually seven. Or Dylan Carlson being “nearly a decade younger” than Jared Walsh: Carlson is 23 years 2 months, Walsh 28 years 5 months, so guess halfway home is nearly home, Not to be nitpicky, but this kind of stuff can be easily checked on the fly.

Am I the only one who was surprised he didn’t even mention Ohtani when he listed his top 5 picks for next season? Ohtani was the best overall fantasy player last year. How does he go from that to not even being in the top 5?
