JD on Cristopher Sanchez (Oct 20, 2026): Oh boy here we go, I really have to fight my personal infatuation with Chris Sanchez and the reality of this season. He very clearly peaked at the beginning of the season when he threw 50+ scoreless innings in a row, setting the MLB record for a left-handed pitcher. If you exclude that incredible all-time run, he was...very average. Post-All-Star break he put up a 3.39 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP. Definitely not bad statistics by any means but he feels like an imposter compared to the rest of the starters around him when you have guys like Skubal putting up sub-1 whips and Schlitter striking out 11+ guys per 9 innings. He is also the oldest starter on this list so far and has the most mediocre fastball, so if there is a guy who has the chance to take the biggest dip from his current ranking heading into the 2027 season, it's probably Sanchez. At the same time he also has the profile that I love for dynasty pitchers: very durable, doesn't rely on a high-spin high-velocity elite fastball, and consistently works deep into games, maximizing his wins and quality starts (if your league counts those). So this is the first pitcher I'm genuinely torn on - I wouldn't blame you for being uninterested in him in a dynasty startup, but if you're in a position where your team is built to win now, he could be one of the best arms you can find.
JD on Konnor Griffin (Oct 20, 2026): Based on this ranking, I will never own Konnor Griffin in any dynasty leagues for the foreseeable future, and I think I am okay with that. Based on what I have seen, I think we should rank him like he is a premier prospect a la Jesus Made or Leo DeVries, rather than a high-end prospect who has already debuted and had success at the major league level, a la Kevin McGonigle. The average exit velocity is probably the most concerning piece for me, although a better September (88.8 mph) really gave me hope that he was just getting his feet under him before his injury (rather than actually being a sub-87 mph EV player). For reference some other players in the 87 mph EV range for 2026 are Xavier Edwards, David Hamilton, and Jackson Holliday (ouch), Jake Cronenworth and Ozzie Albies. I bring this up not to try to pile on too hard on Konnor Griffin, but more so that he is far from the sure thing that people are treating him as. I really would like to see more production at the big league level before I really move him up my rankings. At the end of the day, if I was ranking him as a prospect, he would still be the number one overall prospect on this list. I think that is more than fair for the type of performance he has put up so far.
