With help from Blair, we will go team-by-team in the NL West.
First, we will discuss the new arrivals for each team. Followed then by the projected lineup according to RosterResource.
Next for each team, we will ask some burning questions that Fantasy Baseball players will want to know the answer to. Below are the questions for each team.
Arizona Diamondbacks
- Is Zac Gallen's streak of seasons with under a three ERA sustainable?
- Can Ketel Marte return to his 2019 production?
- Should Christian Walker be a target as CI option?
Colorado Rockies
- What do we do with Charlie Blackmon after his terrible 2020?
- Can Trevor Story continue to be elite without Nolan Arenado?
- Is Daniel Bard a solid closer option late in drafts?
Los Angeles Dodgers
- Is Corey Seager fully back to being a superstar after a bad stretch between 2018 and 2019?
- Is Max Muncy underrated considering he has hit 35 HR the last two full seasons?
- The oft-injured is discounted compared to previous seasons, is he worth the risk?
San Diego Padres
- Can Chris Paddock thrive again now that he will be at best SP3 for the Dodgers?
- Can Tommy Pham get back to his 20/20 ways after a poor 2020?
- Is Fernando Tatis Jr. worth the No. 1 pick over Acuna, Betts and Soto?
- Prediction for the second base battle?
San Francisco Giants
