Mar 21 2026
With many of your drafts set to begin over the weekend, let's take an early look at each team's projected Opening Day lineups and relevant spring training news to identify guys whose stock has changed during the spring.
Just keep in mind that the spring sample sizes are small, so we can't draw any definitive conclusions from them alone.
As a reminder, our PT Today and PT Tomorrow columns will provide closer looks at these battles as they evolve.
Let's start with the American League, with dollar values shown for a 15-team 5x5 mixed league. You can find the same exhibits for the National League here.
