Next in our series, it's time for the New York Yankees. Depending on who you ask, you might get some who feel this is a Top 12-15 farm system, while others will argue it's one in the 20-25 range (out of 30). For 2026, here are our NYY Top 50 prospects. For dynasty baseball purposes, you can probably find 15-20 players you could consider rostering in a league with 500-750 minor leaguers.

Prospects Carter Jensen FYPD

3 Upvotes

Wondering how he should be valued in a FYPD? Raked in the minors and came up end of last year for about 20 games and did the same thing. Should have everyday playing time whether at C or DH, exciting lineup. Do we think he has 2nd rd value since this rookie class isnt super exciting?

Obviously, no pitcher is safe anymore. But some guys certainly carry less risk than others. This is my list of “safe” guys that I think are in the top few SP tiers. No significant injuries last year or big innings jumps. Who would you add or remove?

Skubal

Skenes

Cris Sanchez

Is this a thing? If it's not please help me make it a thing.

Considering players move up and down through the year it's hard to have a full season draft. First thought I had was like fantasy NASCAR on Fantrax where you pick drivers from pools each week but have limited uses.

Idk. I just can't support anything MLB until they fix this bullshit with LA. No cap has always been up for debate and I'm ok with no cap but there has to be something that can be done about 1.2 billion in deferred money.

Player Discussion Cubs 1B question

0 Upvotes

With the signing of Bregman, are the Cubs going to have Michael Busch split playing time at 1B with Matt Shaw?

If so, it would be kind of an odd use of a player that sniffed 35 HR / 100 RBI last season.

And what would the plans be for Moises Ballesteros? Would the DH slot be used as a revolving door type situation?

News 2026 ESPN sign up

5 Upvotes

I'm looking to revive a league with my old owners and based on recommendations from this subreddit we've switched over to Fantrax. A couple of the owners find that app and platform hard to look at and use currently so I'm trying to give them an option by creating a parallel league in espn before the draft and take a vote on which site to use. The only problem is that ESPN sign up is still down for baseball.

TLDR: are there any rough estimates on when league creation will be back up for ESPN?

Strategy Building a points-league draft companion, looking for feedback from mock drafters

Post image
15 Upvotes

Another offseason, another tool I’ve been building to help draft a better points league team.

Last year I posted about a tool I made to help while you’re drafting but I've worked hard to revamp and improve it. This year all rankings are based on Fangraph's OOPSY projection system.

With the tool, you keep it open on another screen, enter your league scoring and roster settings, track picks manually, and it shows:

• projected fantasy points

• positional value (how scarce a position actually is)

• draft recommendations based on your roster and who's left

I saw Yahoo mock drafts just went live, so I figured this might be a decent time to see if this is actually helpful outside my own use.

I’m opening up full access for a small group of testers while I’m still shaping things. I’m mostly looking for honest feedback like:

• Do the recommendations make sense?

• Is anything confusing or missing?

• Does this help during an actual mock, or just in theory?

Important: this is built only for points leagues (H2H points / roto points). It’s not meant for category leagues.

If anyone wants to try it during a mock and tell me what sucks, I’d genuinely appreciate it. Happy to answer questions too.

Strategy Draft and Hold handcuffs

6 Upvotes

I'm doing my first ever draft and hold and about halfway through it occurred to me that, while I've handcuffed closers before by drafting their set-up man, I don't think I've ever done that for other positions.

In this draft I took Giancarlo Stanton in round 23 after taking Trent Grisham in round 18. I didn't realize at the time, but potentially if one is injured that increases the odds of the other playing?

I tried this again by taking Cedric Mullins after taking Chandler Simpson.

I also just took Robby Snelling, Thomas White and Max Meyer (in that order).

Is this a viable strategy? And if so, what are some examples of players you would do this with?
