What the staff says

JD on Corbin Carroll (Oct 2, 2026): As I said earlier this year, I am and always will be a Corbin Carroll denier so take my analysis with a grain of salt. It's surprising to me that someone with his profile maintains such a low batting average from year to year. When someone's game is so speed-driven while still hitting the ball hard, you would think they'd be able to hit for a decent average but he hasn't eclipsed .259 since 2023. Additionally, he seems to be stealing fewer bases despite still clocking a 97th percentile sprint speed. So what does that leave you with? Well if you're in a triples league, he's definitely getting moved up because he has been top 5 in triples every year for the past 5 years. But if you're in a standard 5x5 league, you're getting a 20/20 floor with lots of runs but no batting average assistance and a meager RBI totals. He feels like a solid player on your team but I think he's a borderline top-20 guy at best. If he shows that he wants to run more often next year and he gets closer to 40 stolen bases, then a borderline top 10 ranking makes sense.

JD on Yordan Alvarez (Oct 2, 2026): Air Yordan feels like the closest thing we have to Barry Bonds. If you polled every pitcher in the big leagues on the hitter they least want to face, I have to imagine he tops the list. He just put together one of the most impressive offensive seasons of the last handful of years. He led the league in average, on-base, slugging, OPS and wRC+, drew more walks than anyone, and he did it while staying on the field for more games than he ever has in his career. I also love that he manages to do all of this with such a low K% (17.3% this year). There is really nothing to knock from a dynasty perspective except two things. He's older than most of the players ranked above him, and the injuries that seem to pop up every year and eat into his playing time are still part of the package. We probably just watched his career year, but that doesn't mean he has to repeat it to be very valuable in 2027 and beyond. If you can get Yordan with the last pick of the first round, I'm all over it.
