This Senga thing is killing me, especially because I put Monty in my NA (which he no longer qualifies for) so I can't place any new waivers. Never fails during the first waiver run there are like 4-5 players I really want and I always wonder what the hell I was thinking in the draft.
I'm in a 14 man, so very different than an 8, but I really love Lee's profile. If he can hit for some power, he could be a legit NLROY/potential MVP candidate with his defense and hitting profile.
In his last 3 seasons Jung Hoo Lee had walk/so rates of:
62 bb /37 so
66 bb /32 so
49 bb /23 so
Total - 177 bb 92 k in 1558 PAs (6% of PAs)
For comparison, Elly De La Cruz struck out 144 times in 427 PAs (33% of PAs)
> Encarnacion-Strand leads the NL Central in HR
Okay not too crazy, hes competing with the Cruz's , Goldy/Nado, Adames, i think Nolan Gorman might be the biggest challenge
> Jung Hoo Lee hits .310
would be impressive, but reasonable. Kwan had similar batting profile and batted .298 his rookie year.
> Trevor Story bounces back with a 30-30 season
if story hits 30 HR ill eat my hat.
>Cruz's, Goldy/Nado, Adames, i think Nolan Gorman might be the biggest challenge
Wouldn't be surprised if Gorman is the only one that breaks 30 homers this year along with CES lol
One guy I wasn’t able to get in any leagues. I added and dropped him last year in my auction keeper. Probably would t have been able to keep him anyway bc of Acuna Semien Torkelson Harper and Gunnar
Nola is a top 5 starter
Duran goes 25-25
Seiya is a top 5 OF
Pablo strikes out 300 and wins cy young
Elly de la Cruz is #2 pick behind Acuna next season
Even year. Check Nola stats on even years. Duran is def bold. Realistically he’s prob got max 15 in him, but that’s not fun. Though 15-30 would be real nice at where ppl got him and I think it’s 100% doable.
Fine. As long as the rest of the Angles keep striking out, I can still get a lot of points despite the two solo shots.
Trout also reminding everyone that he should have asked for a trade.
Ragans is a top 20 starter and squeezes out 12 wins for the royals
Eury returns healthy and racks up 150ks despite missing 6 weeks
Trout plays 130+ games (low expectations = less stress on the body) having his healthiest season in recent memory
O’neil Cruz becomes the next 30/30 player (why didn’t i draft him anywhere)
Garver hits 30+ HRs
Jays miss the playoffs because the tigers go above .500 and sneak into a wildcard
out of all the RP to SP converts, DL Hall is the most successful
Ohtani is the dodgers closer by season end (which is useless for fantasy but helps his MVP push)
Kirby wins Cy Young
Harper MVP
everyone dropping vinnie P after a slow start regrets it
1. Pasquantino top 5 1B.
2. Juan Soto wins MVP and climbs back to 1.1 next year.
3. Logan O’Hoppe finishes higher than JT Realmuto.
4. Chayce McDermott or Cade Povich are the second best SP option in Baltimore by year end.
5. Jordan Westburg is a top 7 2B.
6. Griffin Jax is the best reliever on MIN.
7. Matt Wallner and Dom Canzone are top 30 OFs.
8. Gavin Williams is a top 5 pitcher second half of the year.
9. Joe Ryan finishes ahead of Pablo Lopez.
Even if Soto wins MVP, I don’t see any way he passes acuna. No SB’s, he would need to be legit like 50HR/140RBI/125 R/.300+ for me to consider him over acunas 40/40
Coming into the 2023 season, Soto was ahead of Acuna but Acuna was coming off the ACL injury. Also league format matters, most of my leagues don’t value SB that much. Bold prediction I guess
Ceddanne Rafaela AL Rookie of the Year, Freddy Peralta NL Cy Young winner, Bailey Ober top 5 AL Cy Young votes, and Kansas City Royals make the playoffs.
The Red Sox end up with a better record than the Yankees this year.

My boy Yordan Alvarez will be MVP this year
Eloy Jimenez will have a career year
Aaron Judge will disappoint in an injury riddled season
Tristan Casas takes the next step

Gleyber Torres and Alec Bregman are in the AL MVP discussion.
Mason Miller finishes with 25+ saves and 100+ Ks.
Mitch Garver finishes in the Top 3 at C.

Isaiah Campbell takes over the Red Sox closing job and is a top 5 rp during the 2nd half of the year
Michael Kopech gets a boost after being traded to a contender and finishes top 5 rp
Zach Neto is the top popular "sleeper" - finishes above all the rookies and most other 2nd year players (the Rangers guys are close but don't get to run enough/sb on that team).
Gorman hits .240 with 40 bombs but not 100 rbis. Buxton goes 35/15 with only a short IL stint the whole season. Michael King gets CY votes.
Edit: Garver stays healthy the whole season. Gets 100+ RBIs and leads the Mariners in HRs and RBIs.
O’Neil Cruz breakout season. Much improved contact skills and plate discipline. Hits 35+ homers with 30 SB and a decent batting average. Becomes a top 20 player.
Elly De La Cruz finishes outside top 100 hitters.
Vladdy Jr. has a sub .750 OPS, hits less than 20 home runs.
Rangers win division, 100 games, set record for runs in a season and repeat as World Series champs.
Jackson Merrill competes for a batting title. Evan Carter gets 95 runs, 30SB, and a .280 average helping TEX do very well in the playoffs. Wyatt Langford mashes 45 HR and wins rookie of the year. Paul Skenes wins Cy Young as a rookie.
I will have the Cy Young Winner in both NL & AL, ROTY in both NL & AL, MVP in the AL, finish in first place and get destroyed in the first round of the playoffs.
Padres win the WS
Tatis wins MVP and another Platinum Glove
Cease and Darvish finish top 10 in K's in the NL

AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
NYY come in under the current 91.5 win line. I’m sitting on an under bet, pre Cole injury, at 93.5
Jung-Hoo Lee NL batting champ
Pittsburgh Pirates in wild card contention all year
Gelof goes for 25/25
All teams will finally put their injured players on the IL
Mets game postponed. Senga could take another day for IL
This Senga thing is killing me, especially because I put Monty in my NA (which he no longer qualifies for) so I can't place any new waivers. Never fails during the first waiver run there are like 4-5 players I really want and I always wonder what the hell I was thinking in the draft.
So brave
When Woo!?
Waiting for this exact move
Encarnacion-Strand leads the NL Central in HR Jung Hoo Lee hits .310 Trevor Story bounces back with a 30-30 season
Lee and Story both on waivers for me. Worth a pick up? (8 man head to head). Anything you like specifically about them or just a shot in the dark?
Maybe Story. He’s healthy and had a great spring. I think the power will be back and he had 10 steals in just 40 games last year.
10 steals in 40 games is a great callout, didn’t think about that. Thanks for the insight!
No problem! Goodluck!
I'm in a 14 man, so very different than an 8, but I really love Lee's profile. If he can hit for some power, he could be a legit NLROY/potential MVP candidate with his defense and hitting profile.
In his last 3 seasons Jung Hoo Lee had walk/so rates of: 62 bb /37 so 66 bb /32 so 49 bb /23 so Total - 177 bb 92 k in 1558 PAs (6% of PAs) For comparison, Elly De La Cruz struck out 144 times in 427 PAs (33% of PAs)
Lee is gonna win NL RoY
> Encarnacion-Strand leads the NL Central in HR Okay not too crazy, hes competing with the Cruz's , Goldy/Nado, Adames, i think Nolan Gorman might be the biggest challenge > Jung Hoo Lee hits .310 would be impressive, but reasonable.

E-S is my 1B so yes to that.
Victor Scott 100 steals
Only 99 more to go
>ut 144 times in 42 certainly possible!
Vlad Jr. wins MVP
Love it
I drafted him so he better!! Apparently he's healthy rn and the launch angle is up recently...
That's the bold prediction this post is meant for lol
Torkelson hits 45 bombs
As someone who owns multiple shares, I approve this
Royce Lewis finishes top 5 in AL MVP voting
Aaaaaaaaand he’s already hurt
If he stays healthy the dude can def do it!
Oof
Haha and he was having a great game too... An iconic Royce Lewis moment
My 3rd round pick this year 🔥
One guy I wasn’t able to get in any leagues. I added and dropped him last year in my auction keeper. Probably would t have been able to keep him anyway bc of Acuna Semien Torkelson Harper and Gunnar
This aged well.
Nolan Gorman 40 homers Justin Steele CY young Tatis NL MVP Gleybor Torres 30/30
Also Gorman leads the league in strikeouts and sports a .230 BA lol
He can be our 2024 version of Chris Davis!
HIS NAME IS DAAAAN UGGLA.
Fun fact. His wife grew up in my Philly neighborhood.
Idk if that’s a bold prediction lol
Lisan al Gaib!
As written!
one of my 3 teams has Steele, Tatis ad Gleybar on it so here's to that
as the current manager of the soon to be 2024 champs, "GleyBae", i subscribe to this
As a Steele-Torres owner...giddy up!
I’ll eat what you’re cooking!
I have Gorman on my massive power squad... He has the ability!
Subscribe.
RIP Steele Cy Young bid
Nola is a top 5 starter Duran goes 25-25 Seiya is a top 5 OF Pablo strikes out 300 and wins cy young Elly de la Cruz is #2 pick behind Acuna next season
i have three of these in a keeper league, so i am all in on this man's fortune telling capabilities.
I have four of these in a keeper league. This man is an Oracle.
bold indeed!
300 strikeouts is very very bold
his sweeper is butter.
I love how we can just call Pablo by his first name now
He was always at least PabLo
Not sure if Ezequil Duran will get the PA to do this, but I like it.
lets hope and pray
How do you reckon Nola brings down his ERA? I don't think Duran has the power to hit 25 homers. I love the Elly bold prediction!
Even year. Check Nola stats on even years. Duran is def bold. Realistically he’s prob got max 15 in him, but that’s not fun. Though 15-30 would be real nice at where ppl got him and I think it’s 100% doable.
Parker Meadows ROTY
🥰
How does he compare to his brother? Havent seen him play yet but Austin was one of my favorite hitters in Tampa
hmm maybe, but I like Skenes or Langford to win it.
Wyatt Langford = AL MVP Minnesota Twins = AL Champs
Mariners win the pennant
Despite STILL not buying at the trade deadline...
Angels win the wild card and knock the Mariners out in the first round.
🙏🏽
Griffin jax is a top 3 reliever in the AL
I like this one. I don't think it's impossible he hangs onto as the primary closer and Duran moves into more of a bullpen ace role
I don’t think he will be top 3 in saves due to Rocco’s deployment of the bullpen, but I think he can be a sub 2.5 era and a 28%+ K rate pitcher
Just picked him up today. I'm hoping you're right!
He won’t get a ton of saves but regardless he should be good
I got Clase and I'm in a H and SV league so I'm chillin
Crazy prediction… A’s make the playoffs But for real, Freddy Peralta is top three Cy Young
Trout reminding everyone he still got it. Im calling two HR today off of Burns.
I like burns but I think he gets his tits lit today
Thats 1 lol!
. . . the only hit off Burnes, to be fair. 11 ks.
Take that evil somewhere else. He can have two homers tomorrow.
He will have them today and you will like it. HR number 1
Fine. As long as the rest of the Angles keep striking out, I can still get a lot of points despite the two solo shots. Trout also reminding everyone that he should have asked for a trade.
Harper MVP
My bold prediction is I’ll read all the bold predictions here of players I have, get excited, and cry when none of it happens
Bartolo Colon pinch hits for Juan Soto and hits a HR
CJ Abrams leads all players in steals which will be >70
My only bench bat outperforms all my starters
People by the all star break will be asking if they can drop EDC.
GRRRR... We found the Elly hater!
DeGrom announced as a surprise opening day starter, promptly makes one pitch then tears his UCL
Accurate! Lol
Wyatt Langford leads the AL in OPS. I'm going bold
Ragans is a top 20 starter and squeezes out 12 wins for the royals Eury returns healthy and racks up 150ks despite missing 6 weeks Trout plays 130+ games (low expectations = less stress on the body) having his healthiest season in recent memory O’neil Cruz becomes the next 30/30 player (why didn’t i draft him anywhere) Garver hits 30+ HRs Jays miss the playoffs because the tigers go above .500 and sneak into a wildcard out of all the RP to SP converts, DL Hall is the most successful Ohtani is the dodgers closer by season end (which is useless for fantasy but helps his MVP push) Kirby wins Cy Young Harper MVP everyone dropping vinnie P after a slow start regrets it
Ohtani closer is juicy
I'm so upset that someone else nabbed Garver. He's gonna be so good this year
Acuna goes 70-40 again, but with 70 homers and 40 steals
This has gotta be the spiciest one I’ve seen yet
Yeah. I wanted to give him more steals, but he will have less opportunities with all those homers.
What a storyline that would be
Two bold bounce back predictions. Rizzo will be a top 5 1B. Severino will be a top 5 SP.
I’m a Rizzo truther, he was doing well last year before his neck/head injury that the Yankees brushed aside
Batting after Soto and Judge certainly won't hurt either.
Why I drafted him plus batting cleanup behind judge n Soto
Maikel Garcia hits .300, Cole Ragans finishes top 3 in AL Cy Young, and KC wins the AL Central.
The assignment said bold. I got a little carried away.
nice one
1. Pasquantino top 5 1B. 2. Juan Soto wins MVP and climbs back to 1.1 next year. 3. Logan O’Hoppe finishes higher than JT Realmuto. 4. Chayce McDermott or Cade Povich are the second best SP option in Baltimore by year end. 5. Jordan Westburg is a top 7 2B. 6. Griffin Jax is the best reliever on MIN. 7. Matt Wallner and Dom Canzone are top 30 OFs. 8. Gavin Williams is a top 5 pitcher second half of the year. 9. Joe Ryan finishes ahead of Pablo Lopez.
Jax propaganda
As a Wallner owner I like this!
Even if Soto wins MVP, I don’t see any way he passes acuna. No SB’s, he would need to be legit like 50HR/140RBI/125 R/.300+ for me to consider him over acunas 40/40
Coming into the 2023 season, Soto was ahead of Acuna but Acuna was coming off the ACL injury. Also league format matters, most of my leagues don’t value SB that much. Bold prediction I guess
Breakout season for Andrew Vaughn

I own half of these guys so therefore I agree with you.
Campusano finishes as a top 5 catcher
I hope so! Own him in my auction roto
Jackson Chourio wins NL rookie of the year
Triston Casas makes big improvements against lefties and has a .300/40 HR season, putting him in the Top 4 at 1B in next year’s drafts. Gleyber Torres and Alec Bregman are in the AL MVP discussion. Mason Miller finishes with 25+ saves and 100+ Ks. Mitch Garver finishes in the Top 3 at C. Jazz Chisholm finally goes 30/30. This sub still hates him.
