Dynasty: Joshua Baez. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Baez ahead, Baez #159 and Parker #183, and the expert consensus agrees (#248 and #142). The community agrees too, FRV 54.8 to 51.6.
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?
JD on Joshua Baez (Aug 20, 2026): It's pretty incredible that Baez hit 3 HR in his first game and now looks like he can't hit a baseball. He hit 34 home runs in AAA this year and looks like he will easily eclipse the 40-home run mark between the two levels this year. Pretty good for a player who wasn't really an upper-echelon prospect outside of a few sources heading into the year. Long term I think he will be a pretty productive bat for the Cardinals with plenty of power and a questionable hit tool that will probably lead to low averages and a lot of strikeouts. I think he'll definitely carve out a good role for himself but will be susceptible to peaks and valleys. The good news is that he doesn't have the Jordan Walker problem where he likes to beat balls into the ground for fun so he probably won't have the same initial issues that Walker had when he first came to the big leagues.
