Spring training standouts ?


Spring training standouts ?

It's fantasy draft season and were all looking for that diamond in the rough. Anybody got a player that has looked outstanding that might be off everyones radar ? Hard to watch all teams spring training games.

Re: Spring training standouts ?

Henry Davis (Pitt OF, but will add C eligibility a few weeks in) is looking real good in spring.

Imanaga with the Cubs is barely getting recognition because of Yamamoto, but he's looking like a good sleeper (prone to the long ball though).

Re: Re: Spring training standouts ?

Zack Gelof 2B for the A's is slugging away. Ryan Weathers another Miami SP is looking good though it's only 11 iP and halfway through spring.

Looking forward to the prospect games coming up this week.

Re: Spring training standouts ?

Jackson Holliday is certainly no 'sleeper' but it appears Baltimore is somewhat committed to playing him at the start of the season. So far, he's handling himself nicely.

Who would of thought Baltimore would be a potential center of baseball excitement again? About time!

Re: Re: Spring training standouts ?

Speaking of the Pirates , they have a 6-7 ss named oneill cruz who has hit some monster homeruns this spring.

Re: Spring training standouts ?

Be wary of those very tall batters. They come with some very long strike zones to protect. Decent MLB pitchers should be able to exploit their holes (and they will have them).

Re: Re: Spring training standouts ?

Remember Bill Veeck’s Eddie Gaedel. At 3 foot 7 you’d have to thread the needle to get a called strike on him.

Re: Spring training standouts ?

His uniform number was 1/8 lol

Re: Re: Spring training standouts ?

Jackson Merrill of the Padres - looks like he'll be going to Seoul.

Re: Spring training standouts ?

Season starts next wednesday !!!

Re: Re: Spring training standouts ?

Paul Skenes of the Pirates looks like the next real deal.

Re: Spring training standouts ?

I really wish Skenes was breaking camp with the Pirates - what have they got to lose?

Re: Re: Spring training standouts ?

Also, that season opener in Korea is at 3am (PST) - brutal !! I think I'll be recording it and I'll watch it when I get up.
