BUSTS 1.0 ❌ Here's my first round of Busts for the 2026 season. I broke them down into three categories: bottom-out potential, injury risks and don't pay for the career year:

Just looked into the Kauffman Stadium changes. I think all of their hitters will gain at least a little value. The ones who should gain the most are those who pull the ball in the air. Four names with a pulled air rate over 20%: Vinnie P Salvy Jensen Collins Updated look at what's changing:

Nolan Arenado to the Dbacks seems like a slight uptick for his value. Chase Field is a little better for RHB than Busch Stadium. Not sure he would have gained more homers based on last year's batted ball data (2025 spray chart overlayed with Chase Field pictured below)

Pirates should also sign Okamoto and give Konnor Griffin a fair shot to win their shortstop job. Potential Opening Day lineup: Konnor Griffin Brandon Lowe Bryan Reynolds Ryan O’Hearn Kazuma Okamoto O’Neil Cruz Spencer Horwitz Joey Bart Jake Mangum Go Pirates Go! 🏴☠️

Completed my second NFBC Gladiator (15 team roto, draft your starting roster and thats it) from the 5th pick. Betting on some injury bounce backs. No, closers don’t usually go this high but that’s the asking price in this format. PS I like Maikel Garcia and Pepiot a lot for 2026!

Houser saw a big jump in velo last season and performed well: 3.31 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 3.81 FIP, 4.03 xERA with a 49% GB rate He's not going to get any strikeouts but a GB pitcher in SF? I'm sure we'll be streaming him a bunch in 2026

Foster Griffin is returning to the majors after three years in the NPB. In 2025: 1.62 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 8.9 K/9, 2.1 BB/9, 49% GB rate, 11.4% SwStr rate over 78 IP (14 G, 13 GS) My guess is he gets a shot to start with the Nationals and is somebody to watch this spring.

Just finished up a NFBC Gladiator draft. 15 teams, 23 rounds, draft your starting lineup and that's it. I went with an unconventional approach, waiting on RP, then taking 5 SP and 4 RP. I was in a league last year where somebody did it to perfection. I wanted to give it a try.

This group of starting pitchers will be a fun one to rank. I've still got deep dives to do but my early lean is to rank them in this order for 2026 redraft leagues: Chase Burns Nolan McLean Emmet Sheehan Trey Yesavage Cam Schlittler Jacob Misiorowski

Thinking out loud but I wonder if the Orioles' hiring of Craig Albernaz could lead to more steals as a team next season. He's coming over from the Guardians, where they ranked 8th in SB as a team since Stephen Vogt took over.

Another year goes by, a different team celebrates in Yankee Stadium. The worst part is wasting away historic seasons from Judge. Anywho, congrats to the Blue Jays and their fans. You were the better team all season long. Even more impressive doing it without Bo Bichette.
