2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Royce Lewis Note
	78. Royce Lewis 3B,DH Royce Lewis is the starting third baseman for Team Imagine If They'd Stay Healthy. He started Opening Day and went 2/2 with a double, home run, and pulled hamstring. Fifty-eight missed games later, he returned and tore up opposing pitching for 23 games before returning to the IL with an adductor strain. From there, he became a below-average hitter, forcing many fantasy managers to decide whether to hold or drop him. The allure of what he could do is too much for most. Chances are good Lewis will move to second base in 2025, which could reduce the wear and tear on him in the field. The power and speed are there (if he's allowed to attempt steals), but you MUST bake in missed time when you draft him. If the price drops far enough (say 9th or 10th round), he is an easy player to risk rostering, but it's hard to justify a cost much higher than that at this point. 2 weeks ago

Carlos Correa Note
	123. Carlos Correa SS

Byron Buxton Note
	130. Byron Buxton CF Fantasy managers are well aware of the "Byron Buxton dilemma"-draft him for his talent but be prepared for frequent IL stints. In 2024, he managed to play 102 games, surpassing 100 for the first time since 2017. He posted a solid .279/.335/.524 slash line with 18 home runs. While his walk rate remained low at 5.2%, he showed improvement by cutting his strikeout rate from 31.4% to 25.5%. Despite these positives, he remains a high-risk option best suited as an OF4 or OF5, and he shouldn't be drafted before the 20th round in standard leagues. 2 weeks ago
