Fantasy Baseball Impact of the Delay to the MLB Season
Still needing to draft your Fantasy Baseball league. Practice with five-minute mock drafts against industry experts and custom analysis for your team with the FantasyPros Draft Wizard.
We start by giving our predictions for when the season will start and how many games there will be in the 2020 season. Nick then helps us break down how it will impact specific positions.
Hitters
- How does the reduced/condensed schedule affect hitters?
- Does it affect players that are in position battles?
Pitchers
- Are closers more or less valuable?
- What about the value of Pitchers that are on an innings limit?
- What about the pitchers who would have held value because of the ones who had limits?
- How do the potential doubleheaders affect the starter’s value?
- What about prospects do we go all in now?
Injured Players
There are a bunch of players who are currently injured such as…
- Giancarlo Stanton
- Aaron Judge
- Mike Clevinger
- Carlos Carrasco
- Max Scherzer
- Justin Verlander
- and more.
Nick helps us figure out if these players are worth the risk now that the season will be starting late.
