With Opening Day less than a week away, we thought that the offseason was over. But, the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers have made a high-profiled swap, with closer Craig Kimbrel going west for outfielder AJ Pollock.
This season, the third base spot is one of the perceived weakest fantasy positions, forcing many to draft one as early as possible. Instead, let’s look at a few bargain third basemen and a couple of busts to avoid.
Well, we graded the offseason for all of the American League teams. You know what that means. It’s time to look at the National League.
Let’s dive into numbers 41-60 on the list and see if your team has their next superstar coming to the majors soon.
The Dodgers have been one of the more successful teams over the past decade. After bringing home the title in 2020, the Dodgers couldn’t hold their own in the 2021 playoffs, being roughed up and eliminated in the NLCS by the Atlanta Braves.
Zack Greinke has had an exceptional career spanning 18 seasons. While he may not be done yet, let’s take a look at his Hall of Fame case.
Gary Sheffield was one of the most feared sluggers over his 22-year career with eight ball clubs. The right-handed hitter
Carl Crawford makes his first and likely only appearance on the Hall of Fame ballot this season. His case for induction is interesting, albeit not the strongest.
Ryan Pepiot is a name that Major League Baseball fans could be hearing for a while. The 24-year old right-handed pitcher is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ system.
The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the 2021 season as the World Series favorite. However, they did not even get there, losing to the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS.
Although some teams in MLB would dream for a season like the one the Dodgers had, they might consider it a bust. Even with a record of 106-56, the Dodgers played the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card Game, defeating them 3-1. They would go on to defeat the San Francisco Giants in five games in the NLDS, before falling to the World Series champion Atlanta Braves in six games in the NLCS. The Dodgers wanted to make a championship defense this season and made quite a few moves to try and get there.
Things looked bleak for the eventual NLCS champion Atlanta Braves when All-Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his ACL on July 10. At the time, the Braves were just 43-44 and couldn’t seem to get out of their own way. Now Cinderella has a date with the Houston Astros in the World Series.
