2017 Player Profiles: The Full List

I’ve been passing the cold, dark nights since baseball ended by writing player profiles for the coming season. I’ve got projected batting and pitching lines, analysis, stats, sabermetrics, Statcast data, you name it. Since the season is finally close, I’ve collected links to all of my profiles in one place for your convenience.

For those that don’t have the desire to read all of those profiles, I’ve also included a handy table that lists each player and whether I think you should “buy” them, “sell” them, or “hold” them. These designations are based on whether I think you should seek players out in the draft (buy), let others grab them (sell), or pay the fair market prices (hold). “Buys” are guys that I think will outperform expectations, “sells” are the opposite, and “holds” are players that should perform how they are expected to.

Note that some, like Jesse Chavez and Travis Shaw, are really just for deep leagues. You could also argue the same for Greg Bird and Matt Strahm, given their depth chart situations right now. I still like these guys, but you should factor in their playing time and the depth of your league when considering them.

I hope this is useful as you prep for your drafts and get excited about the 2017 fantasy baseball season. Look out for lots of great content coming soon from our great baseball team at Fake Teams to get you ready for the coming season. Opening Day is just 19 days away as I type this! Tschus!
