2021 AL West Preview
The guys, with the help from Matt, will go team-by-team.
First they will give the new arrivals for each team. Followed then by the projected lineup according to RosterResource.
Next for each team they will ask some burning questions that Fantasy Baseball players will want to know. Below are the players being asked about for each team.
Houston Astros
- What can Yordan Alvarez do in his real Sophomore season?
- Is Kyle Tucker finally turning into the player we all hoped?
- Is Framber Valdez worth his ADP of 97?
Los Angeles Angels
- With Mike Trout not running as much, he dropped from the No. 1 ADP. Should we be more concerned about anything else with him?
- Does Shohei Ohtani move up draft boards now that he was announced to be cleared as full-go as a pitcher.
- Can Dylan Bundy continue to be successful as he was in 2020?
Oakland Athletics
- Is Sean Murphy a bargain as the 11th catcher going off the board?
- Is Trevor Rosenthal the closer to trust or will it be a committee approach?
- Jesus Luzardo improved in 2020, does that warrant an ADP of around 100?
Seattle Mariners
- Justus Sheffield has lost his strikeout ability, but was finally consistent with his ERA. Is it enough to draft him?
- Should Kyle Seager be drafted higher considering he is a consistent power bat?
- Mitch Haninger should be healthy heading into 2021. Is he a bargain at an ADP of 345?
Texas Rangers
- Is the batting average drain worth the power that Joey Gallo can bring?
- Can David Dahl finally get his career on track in Texas?
- Is there any pitcher on the Rangers even worth monitoring as the season begins?
Be sure you follow them both on Twitter.
