Randy Arozarena was walking on air during his electric 2020 season—will he fall back to earth in 2021? Plus, Sonny Gray, Jonathan Loaisiga, Daulton Varsho, and José Marmolejos.
Pitching is as hard as ever to draft wisely, given the massive changes in the game over the past few years (not to mention the weirdness of 2020). We'll try to sort through the most glaring differences between BaseballHQ and the market here.
There were several significant SP debuts during the COVID-19-shortened season, and since pitchers were limited to a fraction of their normal IP and that could lead to injury or IP limits, we’re expecting heavier reliance on prospects to fill the gaps.
Cedric Mullins' first 111 plate appearances as a RHB did not go well, and now he plans to focus on hitting left-handed exclusively. Will it boost his playing time picture? Also: Duran's early flash in BOS, batting around the batting order in NYY, Brujan's path to relevance in TAM and Pearson's injury in TOR.
Max Scherzer had a disappointing 2020, posting his highest ERA since 2012 and worst WHIP of his career. Can he rebound in 2021? Plus, Nick Castellanos, Alex Dickerson, Kyle Wright, and Orlando Arcia.
With Kole Calhoun undergoing knee surgery, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo mentioned several candidates that could pick up playing time. Plus, HOU may struggle to replace Framber Valdez, Michael Kopech heads to the pen, and more.
