Dynasty: JoJo Parker. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Parker ahead, Parker #183 and Emerson #201, and the expert consensus agrees (#278 and #248). The community rates them even, FRV 49.4 and 51.6.
JD on Grady Emerson (Aug 25, 2026): I've seen a lot of people rank Grady as the number one prospect coming out of this draft and I think it's a relatively fair take, especially given the Rays track record. He still hasn't gotten his first hit yet, going 0-10 with 4 walks in 14 plate appearances, but that's largely meaningless with such a tiny sample size. I'm not willing to pay the price of him being the most valuable first-year player coming out of the 2026 draft, but he still looks like a top 5 guy in this class for the time being.
JD on JoJo Parker (Jul 28, 2026): I know I said that JoJo is one of my favorite prospects in an earlier take this year, but there are just too many guys that are looking really strong right now to continue to rank JoJo Parker as a near top ten prospect. I still love Parker's plate discipline and it's still on display with his 35/28 strikeout-to-walk ratio since June 1st, but I'd really like to see some more pop in the back with only 9 HR across 362 PA this year. Guys like Mike Sirota, Josue De Paula, and Zyhir Hope have all looked too good to keep Jojo over them. Oh what's that you say? You just listed 3 Dodgers outfield prospects don't you know there are 29 other teams in the MLB? You wouldn't know it by the way the Dodgers get covered across the MLB. Everywhere I look I'm seeing an article about how great the Dodgers farm system is and how deep and talented of a roster they're going to have and how they are going to cause the 2027 season to be completely wiped out because they're just too good and it's going to force the salary cap issue one way or another. My proposal is we move the Dodgers to Japan and let them play out of Tokyo and then maybe we can even the playing field with the jet lag and difficult travel schedule. It should be a win-win right?
