Draft day is generally one of the most exciting days of the year on a fantasy baseball calendar. Whether you’re selecting players in a first-year player draft in dynasty formats or drafting your entire team anew in redraft formats (or perhaps filling in your roster after a set few number of keepers) draft day is every fantasy manager’s chance to get significantly better and win their league.
And really, that last part is the goal here.
So I thought I’d put out this column as a resource to have on hand on draft day to consult as you wind your way through the draft.
For dynasty and redraft managers alike, it’ll feature 10 lists of 10 players (all listed in no particular order) to consider drafting (or for dynasty managers, to trade for). Looking for the best sleepers? These lists have you covered.
What about first-year-player draft prospects to consider? Underrated prospects to trade for in dynasty who could see their fantasy trade value rise considerably in the next year? They’re all covered too.
Here’s a look at what the 10 lists of 10 will include. Regrettably, there is no snazzy Letterman reference of note here.
1. 10 Intriguing First-Year Player Draft Picks (the players I'm looking to draft).
2. 10 Underrated Prospects to Target in Dynasty Trades.
3. 10 Most Underrated Fantasy Hitters.
4. 10 Most Underrated Fantasy Starting Pitchers.
5. 10 Prospects Who Could Debut & Make an Impact in 2025.
6. Top 10 Under-the-Radar Relievers to Consider for Saves+Holds Leagues.
7. 10 Potential Injured-List Stash Candidates.
8. Top 10 Sleeper Hitters To Draft.
9. Top 10 Sleeper Pitchers To Draft.
10. 10 Deep League Hitters To Draft (14 or more teams).
And now to the lists!
(Well… and the players.)
(And the analysis.)
Happy drafting everyone!
