| J.T. Realmuto went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Rangers. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Thu, Mar 30th | George Springer went 5-for-6 with five singles, four runs, and a RBI in Thursday's 10-9 win over the Cardinals.

| George Springer said that "it feels good to feel good" when talking about his surgically repaired elbow. Vince DiSilvio Tue, Feb 14th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Some fantasy managers refuse to "pay" for catchers in a similar way to how some refuse to "pay" for saves, but J.T. Realmuto is the one catcher worth the price on draft day. The 31-year-old smacked 22 home runs and stole 21 bases while slashing .276/.342/.478 for the National League Champions. His oWAR of 5.4 was eighth in the NL overall and first for catchers by a wide range, and he is in the 86th percentile in sprint speed among ALL players. The best part is that none of these numbers are outliers with expected regression. He has never played fewer than 125 games in a full season, including the six years before the arrival of the NL DH, where he got some extra at-bats on days off. He should give fantasy teams consistent production from a position where that is almost impossible to find. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | George Springer continues to appear on the What Could Be All-Star Team after playing 133 games in 2022 while dealing with elbow and knee injuries that left him with many "DTD" tags. When healthy, he was productive atop the Toronto lineup, smacking 25 HR, scoring 89 runs, driving in 76, and even stole 14 bases for good measure. He hits the ball with great power, ranking in the 92nd percentile in maxEV. The talent is enormous but now, at age 33, the injury concerns continue to grow as well. Someone in your league will reach for him during the draft. Let them. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
