Notes
	Francisco Lindor remained Mr. Consistent in 2025, once again delivering strong power-speed production. His 2026 projections show minimal regression, closer to a 25/25 season, supported by premium lineup placement and consistent plate discipline. However, the hamate bone injury in Spring Training threatens his counting stat totals, particularly in the power category. He is still a top-tier shortstop, but comes with more risk now than in previous seasons. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Maikel Garcia took a massive step forward in 2025, transforming from a speed-first table-setter into a well-rounded fantasy contributor with a .286/.351/.449 line, 16 homers, and 23 steals. The offensive breakout was backed by real skill growth, including a sharp jump in on-base ability and contact quality after a down 2024. His elite defensive versatility locked in everyday playing time, which allowed the counting stats to fully surface across a full season. At just 26 years old, Garcia now profiles as a high-floor, multi-category infielder with sneaky upside rather than a niche speed play. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	One of my favorite fantasy baseball players over the last decade, Lindor has been a true all-category superstar and league winner. But the dreaded hamate injury is a known power drain, so he has to be dropped from his typically lofty heights. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
