Dynasty: Leodalis De Vries. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Vries ahead, Vries #61 and Sloan #162, and the expert consensus agrees (#78 and #113). The community agrees too, FRV 72.5 to 55.7.
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 Ryan Sloan (Jul 3, 2026): For Sloan, his ranking has less to do with his skill set and more to do with how I value pitching prospects in dynasty leagues. My motto is “there is no such thing as a pitching prospect”, which is an exaggerated way to say that I would rather invest my prospect capital in a hitter because pitchers are so susceptible to injuries and their value evaporating before they have a chance to hit the big league level. Sloan is the #4 non-debuted SP (behind Hernandez, Anderson, and White) on my list, I would look at them that way rather than his ranking compared to all of the hitters and debuted pitchers overall. I’m very bullish on him long-term, but from a dynasty prospect perspective, pictures are hard to rank incredibly high.
