Can Juan Soto return to form following a down 2022 season when he hit for a .242 batting average? Plus a look into Luis García (WAS), Joey Bart, Steven Matz, and Noah Syndergaard
Precocious rookie Logan O'Hoppe is LAA's catcher of the near future, but whether or not that means Opening Day remains a 50-50 proposition for several reasons. The ever-fluid HOU CF spot, OAK's 1B crowd, and other AL West notes.
Giancarlo Stanton's power is undisputed but his batting average fell off a cliff. Can he rebound? Plus, Cal Raleigh, Cristian Javier, Martin Perez and Ramon Laureano.
Aaron Ashby will have to perform to stick in the MIL rotation. Plus, young pitchers hoping to emerge in PIT, and young middle infielders looking to establish their roles in STL, CHC, and CIN.
The shortstop position is a bit top-heavy (still), but there are some up-and-comers. And more than a few players with large differences between BaseballHQ's value and the market. Who's right? Only time will tell...
Aaron Hicks has gotten a public vote of confidence as his team's starting LF. But how far will that get him? Also: Stowers' challengers in BAL, Barnes gets the boot in BOS, Siri's understudies in TAM and a motley crew behind Kikuchi in TOR.
Adalberto Mondesi helps fill a hole in Boston, but may not be ready for Opening Day. Plus playing-time-centric analysis in Kansas City, Baltimore and Oakland.
