It’s that time of the year again! Pitchers and Catchers Report in 4 Days and counting, which means spring training is just around the corner and baseball is officially on it’s way back. Which means your mlb fantasy draft is also quickly approaching… so let’s start mock drafting! Here are your top 5 picks:
MIKE TROUT (LAA) OF – Can’t choose anyone but the best player in baseball to go 1st overall. It’s rare that the best player in the game also happens to be the best fantasy player.
KRIS BRYANT (CHC) 3B, OF – Coming off an MVP, World Series Ring, Blue Jays bias aside… I can’t think of a third baseman I’d rather have. He’s young, and he’s only getting better.
JOSE ALTUVE (HOU) 2B – He steals, he hits, he has power…and there’s not many 2nd basemen out there that can touch him. Position scarcity puts him in my top 3.
MOOKIE BETTS (BOS) OF – Mookie seemingly came out of nowhere to contend for AL MVP late last season, and he probably would’ve won it if Big Papi didn’t have his crazy farewell year. Look for him to improve on last season’s stats.
JOSH DONALDSON (TOR) 3B – Simply put, his last 2 seasons combined have been insane. He hasn’t shown any signs of regression, and should continue to smash, with Bautista continuing to bat after him.
