Dynasty: Otto Lopez. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Lopez ahead, Lopez #58 and Vries #61, but the expert consensus has Vries ahead (#78 to #92). The community disagrees, leaning Vries, FRV 72.5 to 52.6.
JD on Leodalis De Vries (Nov 4, 2026): Here is what I said when news first broke about De Vries' shoulder surgery: "Really brutal news for Leo that he will be out for 8 months with shoulder surgery. Luckily it's during the offseason and he's so young and it's not crucial that he gets a ton of reps right now. It would be nice to see him knocking on the door of the big leagues next year with a really strong spring and start to the 2027 season. I imagine this takes any hope of a 2027 debut as a 20-year-old out of the picture but still leaves the chance that he makes his 2028 debut as a 21-year-old in play. I like what Sebastian Walcott has been able to do coming back from injury so I'm hopeful that Leo will take the time to develop, get stronger, and come out of this better off in the long run. Not selling if I own him here." Nothing has really changed since then, except me diving into some of the other prospects that I think are more exciting from a fantasy perspective. With no injury he's still probably top three for me, but for now I think he's a very strong number seven overall prospect and can earn back his top three status if he proves he's fully healthy during the 2027 season.
JD on Otto Lopez (Oct 27, 2026): I said this earlier in the season and I still feel it: if Otto Lopez played for the Yankees, everyone would look at him a lot differently. Look at what he just did. He hit .305/.349/.437 with 34 stolen bases, 94 runs and 71 RBI across 687 plate appearances, good for a 115 wRC+ and nearly 6 fWAR. The average isn't a fluke either: he struck out only 13% of the time, and his .281 xBA says the contact quality supports a high average year after year. Add 28.5 ft/s sprint speed and the Marlins playing him every single day, and you have a guy who piles up at-bats and steals. What he doesn't have is power. He hit 11 home runs with a 6% barrel rate and an 89.1 mph average EV, and I don't think the power gets much better from here. He also has the unlucky mix of playing in Miami, where nobody pays attention, with a bad team around him that won't create as many run and RBI chances as he'd get on a good one. Maybe he gets moved at the deadline next year and lands somewhere that makes him more attractive. I'm well ahead of the consensus here (they have him around 100), and I'm comfortable with it. A high-average, 30-steal shortstop who never comes off the field should be one of those quietly elite players for the next couple of years. If his manager in your league sees "Marlins" and shrugs, take advantage.
