How do you know it's going to be a weird year? Well, DJ Stewart, Anthony Banda and... *checks notes*... Marcus Walden may be fantasy relevant, for one. In other preseason messages: Don't give up on Jonathan Loaisiga and Rowdy Tellez just yet.

When it comes to the impact of the imbalanced schedule on the 2020 season, some of our perceptions may be on the money; others, not so much.

The health of Aaron Judge is just one of the many mysteries fantasy managers will be trying to unravel as the sprint of the 2020 season approaches. Others include: Mountcastle's role in BAL, Verdugo's health in BOS, bench options in TAM and Pearson's status in TOR.

In a shortened season, young players like Ryan Mountcastle in BAL, Bobby Dalbec in BOS, Randy Arozarena in TAM and Rowdy Tellez in TOR may be bigger factors than they may have otherwise been. Meanwhile, injured players like Aaron Hicks may have a chance to being close to ready by the time Opening Day arrives.

Whenever the season starts, Giancarlo Stanton should be ready to go, but whether he will be joined by Aaron Judge is less clear. Also: Mancini on the mend in BAL, 2B thoughts and Verdugo's return in BOS, predictable cuts in TAM and a still-muddled "ninth man" in TOR.

A delayed start to the season certainly won't hurt Chris Sale's chances of being a fantasy factor in 2020, but will we know enough about his recovery to draft him with confidence? That's just part of our trip around AL East pitching staffs as we head into a hiatus of uncertain duration.

The Yankees may be among the prime beneficiaries of a late start to the season, which will give Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton more time to heal. Also: rotation thoughts in BAL, too many catchers in BOS, Snell's shaky spring in TAM and Alford may be on the outs in TOR.

Michael Chavis is still in the running to be the Red Sox Opening Day second baseman. But is a demotion also a possibility? Also: if BAL runs, who benefits; NYY rotation starts to clarify; backup catcher thoughts in TAM; and "last hitter in" yet to be decided in TOR.

Nate Pearson has already begun his quest to make the decision about whether he makes the TOR rotation as difficult as possible. Also: Stewart's chances to crack OF rotation in BAL, Benintendi to lead off for BOS, dark horse rotation candidates in NYY, some hot bats in TAM.

Mychal Givens should start the season as Orioles closer, but how close is Hunter Harvey to mounting a challenge? Also: Ragged rotation in BOS, Plan B for saves in NYY, slimmed-down Lowe's hopes of sneaking into role in TAM and a bench battle in TOR.
