Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Jarren Duran Note
	20. Jarren Duran LF,CF Jarren Duran made a significant impact in 2024, proving to be a tremendous asset for fantasy managers who rostered him. Over 160 games, he tallied 111 runs, 34 stolen bases, 21 home runs, and 75 RBIs. Duran also showcased an impressive .285/.342/.492 slash line, establishing himself as a high-tier five-category contributor worthy of early-round consideration. While he occasionally struggles with plate discipline, reflected in his average Whiff% and K%, his 2024 batting average slightly outpaced expectations. Even so, he projects to deliver another 20/30 season with around 100 runs, solidifying his value as a reliable OF2, especially in formats requiring five outfielders. 10 weeks ago

Garrett Crochet Note
	30. Garrett Crochet SP Garrett Crochet arrived in 2024 for his first year as a full-time starter and dazzled to the tune of a 3.58 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. He threw 146 innings and struck out 209 batters while winning only six games on the most historically awful baseball team in MLB. Now he has moved to Boston, which is less friendly to pitchers, but he may enjoy the luxury of a competent defense and some run support. Now that he has one full season as a starter, his innings should increase in 2025, making him a valuable SP1 in all formats. 10 weeks ago

Rafael Devers Note
	32. Rafael Devers 3B Rafael Devers offers a level of consistency that only one other third baseman on the board can give, but at a Round 3 cost. In 2024, he hit 28 homers, scored 87 runs, and drove in 83. He slashed .272/.354/.516 while playing in 138 games. Devers dealt with shoulder issues, which probably caused the career-high 24.5% K rate, but his 11.1% walk rate was also the highest of his career. If the rest of the Red Sox lineup can stay healthy, Devers's counting stats should return closer to the 30/100/100 area in 2025. He's worth the pick. 10 weeks ago

Alex Bregman Note
	79. Alex Bregman 3B Alex Bregman landed in Boston as a free agent in the offseason, a park that may reduce his home run total, but he should punish the Green Monster plenty during the year. Last season, the 30-year-old was snakebit by a .264 BABIP and an absurdly low walk rate at 6.9%. (His career number is 13.4%.) Assuming both of these numbers bounce back in 2025, Bregman offers a stable floor in an excellent lineup. The chance that he could get 2B eligibility would catapult his value even further. 10 weeks ago

Triston Casas Note
	102. Triston Casas 1B Triston Casas' 2024 season was marred by injuries, limiting him to just 63 games. Despite this, he showcased his power potential by hitting 13 home runs and driving in 32 runs over 212 at-bats, resulting in a .241/.337/.462 slash line. His advanced metrics support his power, with a 13.3% barrel rate and a .330 xwOBA, indicating that his underlying performance aligns closely with his actual results. However, his 31.7% strikeout rate is a concern, as it represents a significant increase from his 25.1% rate in 2023. At 25 years old, Casas still has room for development, but reducing his strikeouts will be crucial for sustained success. Looking ahead to 2025, a healthy season could see him emerge as a key power contributor for the Red Sox, whose offseason acquisitions have greatly improved their overall lineup. Fantasy managers should monitor his health and strikeout trends, as a full season could yield substantial home run totals. 10 weeks ago

Tanner Houck Note
	196. Tanner Houck SP

Ceddanne Rafaela Note
	224. Ceddanne Rafaela 2B,SS,CF Ceddanne Rafaela brings a versatile skill set with contributions across multiple categories. He has the potential for around 15 homers and 20 steals, but his on-base percentage remains a concern (.274 OBP in 2024). With the improvements in the Red Sox lineup, Rafaela has the potential for boosts in the counting stats categories. He is an intriguing draft pick in 2025. 10 weeks ago
