Two shortstop questions: 1. What are your expectations for Carlos Correa this year? and 2. When do you think Bobby Witt Jr. will get called up. To give you context, I traded Trea Turner for Walker Buehler and Bobby Witt Jr (I'm in a keeper league) and I have the #1 overall pick and Correa is available.

I think Correa will be good this year. Not amazing. But not bad. I can't see him disappointing on his ADP. He's probably the last of the "usable" starting SSs, so for that reason I'm in on him.

And I love Witt. Kinda impossible to say when he's up but I'm banking on seeing him in 2021. June?

Glasnow is electric...ever take a step forward in innings per game?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:42
For Glasnow to take a step forward in his innings he'll have to be more efficient. There's also the Rays element. There's been a lot of talk about his new slider (a third pitch, which he needs) this spring. But I want to see him have results before investing so early. I'm out on him at his ADP

thoughts on when kelenic will be called up, before or after memorial day?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:42
With the caveat being that it's impossible to know, I'll say before. I'm betting he's up by the end of April and would be okay stashing in 12-team redraft

do you still value pitchers or go hitters early
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:44
When I look at the 2021 fantasy baseball landscape with a wide lens, the number one thing I notice is that there aren't many high-end SPs who will give a big workload with great ratios

I wrote about this in my roto draft strategy piece here https://www.fantasypros.com/2021/03/brendan-tumas-2021-fantasy-basebal...

Thoughts on Gleybar Torres??
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:44
Reports were that he showed up to summer camp out of shape. I like him, but I'll admit his ADP is a bit pricey
2:45
Put it this way - I'd rather trade for him in a keeper league than draft him at ADP in redraft

do you see trey mancini as a top 10 1b end of year?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:46
Definitely has the potential to do that. He's a great value pick at his ADP

What are you thoughts on Tarik Skubal?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:47
Good late-round target. He's young so expect some inconsistencies, but he has a new split-change and is making it a priority to throw more secondary offering this year. I like that he's making adjustments

for a saves/holds league do you favor tyler duffey, d. castillo, or trevor may
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:47
Definitely Tyler Duffey. Great ratiots

Which starting pitcher ranked outside the top 40 SP do you think has a chance to finish the season ranked top 10 ?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:50
Maybe it won't be top-10, but Aaron Civale is my favorite SP outside the top-40. New, shortened arm path (Which is the route Giolito took to his breakout). Also, who are we to bet against Cleveland pitchers at this point?
cool 2

Are you confident in a Garver bounce back? A year off helping Posey get healthy and rebounding?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:51
Idk if I can definitively say I'm confident, but the price is cheap enough that I'm willing to roll with him as my only catcher in a one-catcher league

Draft advice - 12 team 5x5 - 11th overall pick - if Bieber is there I think for sure he is the move - if not, Story OR JRam? - and then on the swing - Bauer OR Darvish?  Thanks!
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:52
Gotta get at least one SP with one of your first two picks. Yes Bieber if he's available. My next 3 SPs go Bauer, Giolito, Nola. I'd go Trea Turner if available. If not it's a toss up between Story/JRam

Is there something wrong with soto..i pick 5th..out of 8 teams..he has no home runs and no rbi this spring..i heard he was sick..but not with covid..i was going to pick him first but im not sure now..please help..im glad baseball is back..
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:53
Nothing is wrong with Soto. Spring stats are fun but in a case like this they're meaningless

How does the injury to Zac Gallen affect his rank in a dynasty format? Lance Lynn, Max Fried and Jesus Luzardo are all options to me as well.
AvatarBrendan Tuma
2:54
If I'm rebuilding in dynasty I'd try pretty hard to trade for Gallen right now. Shouldn't affect him long term at all. If I'm contending, then it's a test of patience

Who do you think the first rookie to be called up this season that doesn't make the opening day roster?
