What the staff says

JD on Logan Gilbert (Oct 20, 2026): Logan Gilbert is a borderline case for me, because despite the fact that he will be 30 in 2027, I think he's got a lot of life left in his arm. I think he's very likely to take the Kevin Gausman-type path where he is very valuable accumulating innings with great ratios and good K rates. I also love pitchers who minimize walks and keep their WHIP down and Logan Gilbert is the poster child for minimizing free passes without the expense of making himself much more hittable. I do think his value takes a significant hit if he isn't able to come to a long-term deal with the Mariners and ends up signing elsewhere, as some of those home run issues (that I think T-Mobile Park covers for him) could rear their heads in a worse pitcher's environment. It's impossible for me to speculate where he ends up going after 2027 so it's a fool's errand to try to knock his value down because of it, but it is a real threat facing him if he signs with a team like the Yankees or Phillies. Just something to keep in mind if you are making a roster decision regarding Gilbert in 2027.

JD on Ronald Acuna Jr. (Oct 20, 2026): No one has drawn more consternation from his lack of ranking in the top 25 than Ronald Acuna Jr., and I think I understand why: it's hard to separate out the incredibly high highs from the current player that he is now. I left this comment on a Reddit question regarding Acuna: "Acuna just missed the top 25, so they aren’t as far off as they seem (Greene vs. Acuna). But it’s a fair question, for me it comes down to where I think they are on the aging curve. Acuna (29 in 2027) might be start to lose a step with the injuries catching up with him. Bat speed is the biggest indicator for me, it’s dropped steadily since 2023 and it resulted in his lowest exit velo of his career last year. " This was before I really got into my top 50, and as I worked on my rankings I kept finding situations where I would rather have a younger player with his prime ahead of him. I think of these rankings as tier based, so if you want to argue Acuna over Walker I won't fault you, but I think guys like Greene, Julio, and Harris are in a league of their own, if for no reason other than the age difference. This is a different story in redraft leagues. If you have a team ready to go for it next year, I could see paying a top 25 price for Acuna because of the value he can provide in 2027 and 2028. But I think over a 7-year period, he is a safe bet to decline pretty severely towards the tail end of that window.
