Year 2. Joey Gallo Amaya should be a solid fantasy catcher and isnt terribly far away. Plenty of players have a bad half, heck a lot of them have a bad season, and most of the guys on this list are no exception, but I still dont think you should discount the fact that hes a 30-20 guy who quals CF and put a bunch of guys who arent going to ever do those kind of numbers ahead of him. Burnes of course had a huge year. //]]> So Im in a dynasty league with a draft this weekend. Flores,W Hangin onto both one more year but running out of time and roster space. Id definitely look at him in the first three rounds. There are simply a certain number of keeper slots, and you simply fill them with whatever players you don't want to lose someone else. Love the content as always though. He put up 30 homers and 16 steals. Gleyber Torres #PoorWillie. Both sides should be taking advantage of one another by dealing prospects and veterans. Things looked grim for a while, but the 2022 MLB season is almost here. Top-150 seems a bit high. Salary Cap at $159m/year. Hi Josh! In a 12 tm 66 OPS/QS and currently barely in 1st. Im in a 12 team keeper league, Tatis Jr. Anyway, my 2 cents there will always be debate on players, thanks for spending the time to publish this list. Harper Whether youre in a championship run or a rebuild should dictate where your focus is on these rankings. I am currently in an 8 team (6 keeper) league. These are standard rankings that can be adjusted based on different league settings. Or am I missing something else? For saves + holds leagues, top closers dont have the same impact as in saves-only formats. The same for Bichette applies for Tucker, though he's a year older and may not be as reliable for stolen bases. I was not winning the pennant this year. Would you trade Paddack for Muncy straight up? Dynasty leagues provide year-round entertainment (and commitment) and can be the closest most of us will ever get to being a real GM. That being said, I have to drop 3 to make room for enough active MLB guys (league rule). Apologies for the delay. Elly De La Cruz Jose Altuve Benintendi (career best/2017: 20 hr, 20 sb; 2021: 17 hr, 8 sb; 2022: 3 hr, 1 sb(talk about unusable)). Got hit very hard (5th percentile or lower in HH rate and EV) Its more important to build a deep outfield in leagues with five starting outfielder spots compared to leagues with just three. Yordan Alvarez Robles,V A. Alzolay SP You are gaining good value with these players. J. Polanco SS When will the next rankings come out? If I felt more confident that he will get regular PT in 2020, hed be in the 250-300 range. I offered Lopez/Gilbert/Fried for Cole and it was rejected. Being close to the Cards, I would say adjust that expectation. Lance Lynn (just added) But he's still young, a veritable workhorse, and has a three-year stat line as good as any. If he got all his stats in one half, that might make him an even better player as you could use the 2nd half of somebody better. great list. Just wanted to make sure, love your work. What do you think about his 82mph exit velo? They are not even in the same class. My team is pretty well balanced, 2b isnt an immediate need but would be an upgrade over G. Torres, Vidal Brujan and E. Escobar. A lot of this depends on how your roster is set up but I like Ward the most out of that group by a decent margin. Christian Yelich 2. Id go Soto, Bregman, Robert, Trea, Devers, Yordan followed by J-Ram and Eloy.

Again, these rankings should be considered a reference or baseline, not a perfect science. The other guys i have are Stroman, Carlos Martinez, Frankie Montas. Its possible he could be, but the Cardinals also have Ivan Herrera who might be even better. I could use an upgrade at OF and SB. M Conforto (Just Added) T. Turner SS I found two edits for you. I play in a 14 team dynasty league on Fantrax, we often use your rankings to evaluate trades. Would you trade Josiah Gray for Salvador Perez in dynasty league? CJ Abrams Elly de la Cruz Where would Trevor Bauer fall on this updated list now that he has been reinstated? Was it because I did not run away with you? How do I get these friggin ads off bttm of page, so I can print this, Email me at [emailprotected] and I can email you a spreadsheet or PDF. Should I just wait for them to join the big leagues and enjoy the fruits of their potential labor. Depends on how deep your league is but I think Id aim for something a bit more. Elly DLC all the way up into the 80s? First instinct is to go with Fraley, but why has Lewis fallen so low? I inquired about a trade for Kole Calhoun, who locks in at $9.25m thru 2023 (player option for that in 2023). You like baddoo or kiriloff better for the future?? McGhee. A. Medina SP Jazz Chisholm If it's the sort of league where every team keeps only 4-5 players, it's plausible Franco could have lasted beyond Round 20, if he was drafted at all, and early returns suggest you'd be crazy not to lock him in at that price for the long haul. Obviously, it has been a relatively small sample, but feel like he should be up in front of Paxton/Bum type guys. 1B Goldschmidt Question (of course) Santiago Espinal and Thairo Estrada seem like very similar players.in fact the biggest difference is SB advantage for Thairo. Thairo is younger as well. If I were to update today hed probably sneak into the back-end of these rankings but its tough to buy in too much on spring performance. LCastillo Still, he's a reliable source of batting average and stolen bases, and anyone with a higher ceiling is almost certain to be kept. I know he hasnt been signed yet, is that the reason he has not been included in the new rankings to this point? Clippard,T These days, you can't trust a pitcher to take on a full workload until you actually see him do it, but given the strides he made in 2021, another 40 innings would make Peralta and out-and-out stud. Thanks. Keeper Value Rankings are intended for Keeper Leagues in which a fantasy owner must forfeit a designated. Wasnt going top rank a rookie reliever with one month of success too high. Id have him close to top 150 for Dynasty. Entering his age-23 season, he's looking at many years of studliness still and is the only candidate for the top overall pick who you might be able to keep at a discount. Id rather have inconsistently great than consistently mediocre/bad. Re Murphy: Whoops! Im real strong with bats, middling with SP. LeMaheiu ($6) Im a fan of Hilliard. Eric Cross' Positional 2022 Fantasy Baseball Rankings. Any sort of markup from last year's ADP and suddenly a borderline first-round pick like Bichette has a first-round keeper cost, but his youth and across-the-board production make him the sort of building block that deserves it. All that hype you've been hearing about Byron Buxton over the years finally came to fruition in 2021, but not without the usual bumps and bruises. Thanks! All Rights Reserved. Thank you! 4 OF, 3 MI, 2 of every other Position player and a DH. Julio Rodriguez. Incredible tool! Sterlin Thompson, Tanner Bibee, Kumar Rocker, Evan Carter and more, MLB Prospects Breakout Watch for Fantasy Baseball - Matthew Liberatore, Nolan Jones, Brandon Pfaadt, Michael Busch and more, Top Starting Pitcher Prospects - Impact Fantasy Baseball Rookies for 2023 (AL Central). Just started a podcast of my own, would love to chat with you some time. Who is the most mlb ready of these: Lodolo, Rutledge, Espino, Manoah? Id take that. WHIP and BB are both categories. Thanks Eric! Sherten Apostel Keep up the great work. Sorry for the delay in responding. Hey Kory, thank you! SP Odorizzi As an exampled, in your positional rankings for SS on the 18th, you have Jazz Chisholm SS 8 spots higher than Jeter Downs SS. Available Players. Thanks for reading! Just wondering how many starting hitters/pitchers you are assuming in a league for this ranking list Yeah, making trades can always help speed up a rebuild. His recovery from Tommy John surgery last year has makes him essentially free to keep, and he could perform like a true No. Jackson has nice power, but I question the AVG. Slightly better chance here for a keeper discount, though. Wander Franco Thanks. RP Leclerc Thanks so much for this valuable resource. 2022 fantasy baseball rankings and projections for redraft and dynasty leagues, compiled from the best and most-accurate sources in the industry. Oswald Peraza Players get $5 raises each year. Hey Eric, longtime reader, first time commenter. This is exactly where I had Wander Franco in last year's top 50 keepers, so it seems fitting to devote it to this year's stud-in-waiting. . Obviously Perez is better but his higher age worries me. How high would Ohtani be on your list if this were a daily league where he can be used as a pitcher and hitter? Util ?Correa $10 Maybe a little but I like McCarthy a fair amount too. Thanks! Thanks for the support! The 2022 fantasy baseball season is now headed into its final few weeks. You like Dunn more than him? e.g. I am in win-now mode with my team. I see you have Kelenic higher on your dynasty list than the other two, so obviously I know youd probably trade one of those two guys for him. Sale I like him, just not going gaga over him like others. I asked in an earlier post about going for Kyle Tucker, I think that would help me tremendously. Hi Eric, thanks for everything you do. Arraez,L* What side of this do you lean? I have Noelvi Marte as trade bait along with Gilbert, Skubal and E. Cabrera. Not in your top 500? Is that serious or are you just trying to get our attention? Emerson Hancock Bregman Josiah Gray 10 team h2h, 55 plus OBP, SLG, QS, Holds. Thanks so much in advance and appreciate all your work! Sixto is a legit stud with three plus pitches. Dynasty keeper league, 16 teams 27 keepers, im on the clock. Snell ($12). If they resist, Id even kick in Skubal to try to make it a Godfather deal. Just my 2 cents tho. If pitchers are valued more in your league, Id be okay making that move. Snagging as many young players is still a top goal, but sometimes the oldies but goodies are too good to pass up. Thats really close. Kiermaier,K* Do I try to get 12 best players 8 batters 4 pitchers? Corbin Carroll and minor drafts, and I am unsure if my catcher will be good enough. Which do you think is the better side of the trade ? Thank you for reading! Coming off his best season since he won NL MVP in 2015, the 29-year-old appears to have smoothed out his rough edges and become a full-fledged Fantasy force. C Perez $2 Alcantara ($6) Ian Happ The reigning NL Rookie of the Year was an afterthought on Draft Day, so of course he's cheap to keep. Jwendle CI Christian Walker These are the Elite Keeper Values. Id drop Groshans, Walston, and Campusano personally. Liam Hendriks MUST BE KEPT at all costs. Duran Still a top-50 guy overall though moving forward. I dont see any value from Lopez any time soon. E. Hankins SP. I was chief among skeptics regarding his breakthrough 2020, but now that he's brought the strikeouts down to size, it's easier to see him maintaining the sort of across-the-board production that will get him drafted in the first five rounds. he had a monster first half and has since struggled a little. I have multiple people trying to acquire Franco from me in the from of picks. Eric Cross' Dynasty News and Notes: Matt Chapman, Jorge Mateo, Zach Neto, and More! Im in a standard 10 team keeper league, head to head categories, really competitive. Thank you for your time, Ill see if I can swing it! Means looks like a good example- we have a good first half- 1.5 months of dumpster fire- then looks like he is starting to finish strong. Paddacks value is dropping each time he takes the ball, and Sale is past the point where he should have been dealt (yeah, yeah hindsight is 20/20, but still), but still has the name value and past results that someone may still buy into. Luke Voit 12 team dynasty, Im in a full rebuild. I see Waters slipping in everyones rankings and continue to hear nothing but bad things about his play on the field. I do get what youre saying about his repertoire, but it seemed to me like he grew a ton this year, mentally and mechanically, and I see him continuing to grow rather than regressing. Im thinking of trading 2 for 1 to update top talent. Each team can keep up to 12 players without penalty (draft pick, salary, etc.) is V Grissom close to the top 500? Im interested in where you think Ha-Seong Kim should go in a 12 team dynasty. What I dont understand is how do you have guys ranked higher in the top 500 that you released on Dec 22nd then you do in the positional rankings you updated on December 18th? Fantrax Injury Report: April 28, 2023 Aaron Judge Out? Thoughts on plesac, Muncy , keller for biggio and howard. I have Robinson Chirinos, who I was hoping could hold on long enough until Miguel Amaya comes up for the Cubs, but could potentially trade up and grab Christian Vazquez in the supplemental draft. Thank you again for everything you do. Tyler Stephenson, Great List Eric! For 2021, im worried TOR limits Pearson a little bit since he ended 2020 hurt. Better, then, to treat it as more of a rough guide than gospel truth. If you have a choice between: Tim Anderson, Brandon Lowe, Kyle Lewis, Teoscar Hernandez, Trent Grisham, who would you pick first among the list? $320 cap at time we submit keepers, but otherwise salaries dont matter. Im in a 10-team keeper league with h2h cats scoring (66 with holds and OPS). Is there a chance he becomes better than Fraley in the bigs? Yeah, Id take that. I do think he can maintain this level of production. Break-even point. Currently in the first year player draft any thoughts on Brock Porter vs Dylan Lesko? Blessed with raw power, the 21-year old center and right fielder will more than likely be a steal for any fantasy team. Still, if you're giving up less than a fourth-round pick for him, there's no need to nitpick. Join the Best Live Fantasy Chat Community! Early season rankings crucial! How far out of the 500 is Jesus Aguilar? How about Spencer Howard unless I missed him he was left off your 500 the Phillies are high on him and many project him to debut in 2020 At best, hes a SP3 for fantasy IMO. I need to unload a few SPs as I have some on the IL like Lopez/Clev/Gio who I want to keep obviously but I dont have the space. SS Lindor $33 The inconsistencies are maddening. i am pretty set and just trying to figure out who will jump the most in the offseason since it is doubtful i keep him either way. Means will be in my next update (likely next week or week after). OF set with Harper/Alvarez/Buxton/Judge/Soto. Ray $0 Not sure if the first one went thru, ha. He just missed last time. Mike Trout fatigue has begun to set in after he failed to make it back from last May's calf injury, but it wouldn't be enough for me to break off my marriage to this generation's best player. Salvador Perez. Will be correct in ext weeks update. Triston McKenzie reduced his BB/9 from 4.35 to 2.07 in 2022, skyrocketing up fantasy rankings and boosting the . first full year as a SP w/ 3.71era, 1.13whip, 3.2 war and .234 BAA, slight up-tick in Ks = ace, sooo SS Tatis $6 Max Fried Trent grisham For what its worth, I acquired Rizzo this offseason for two players, including Luis Ortiz, who is ~80 spots higher here than the two you mentioned. If you play in such a league, I can direct you to another list: the redraft rankings. Will Luis Rengifo crack your next update, Im a bit intrigued by him and the price should be right in my 20 team dynasty league where my 2B is a mess and Nick Gonzalez took a step back. Thoughts? just a heads up, youve got tsutsugo in there twice. Or will he blossom in 2-3 years? Alex Kirk Great update to the list, been waiting for this! Thanks! I guess it might be easier to lay out my options and list who I am keeping. Id be the one giving Sandy for Olson. May,T Civale ($6) Due to a lot of trades and waiver wire pitching, I have the following players: Juan Soto Im confident in Sandy as a top-10 arm. Jose Abreu ($21) Greinke. Is Sam Carlson SP Seattle not on the list? I've long sensed some reluctance to buy into Olson as a long-term asset, perhaps because he seems older than he is. Hi Eric! April 2nd, 2022. Or are there other promising pitchers you could suggest to help me? Where does Jared Shuster fall outside the top 500? Do you think the long term projection is that close for them? Got an offer for my Jose Ramirez of CJ Abrams, Bohm, Grisham. Need pitching help. His rookie season may ultimately go down as the high point in his career, but the 24-year-old bounced back nicely enough from his 2020 knee scare, presenting us with this second opportunity to keep him at a discount. And frankly, his numbers weren't that far off. I see you have some articles referencing him but you might be the low man on him. section: | slug: fantasy-baseball-top-50-keepers-for-2022-based-on-last-years-adp | sport: baseball | route: article_single_fantasy | Am I selling low on Espino? Jose Ramirez Bingo. To start, Id take Cease out of that discussion as his FB command is really holding him back. Owen White One to cut between Jared Walsh, Garrett Cooper, and Wil Myers. Hey Eric, as always I appreciate all you do for the fantasy baseball community! Bellinger Especially when Robbie Ray was. Id be looking to package Sale and Paddack for someone with a little more stability (as far as SPs can have stability, haha), in their mid-late 20s. Mitch Haniger was a keeper from last year. How many first rounders would it take? If I take trade 1, Bichette Replaces Lindor, and that leaves me with 15 after trading Teoscar and Musgrove. Verlander I do have some confidence in but hes coming off major surgery.
