What the staff says

JD on Logan Gilbert (May 27, 2026): This is the start of another tier of pitcher for me, I think the theme of this tier is there is either something missing in the profile that doesn't make these arms a premium option or I need to see more of the early flashes on a consistent basis to fully buy in. Gilbert is easily in the first tier for me as I think he is one of the most reliable arms you'll find in the big leagues right now. Feels like he gets bitten by the HR a little bit too much which is why his ERA is in the 3.5 to 4 range consistently rather than in the 3 to 3.5 range and it's hard to expect a pitcher with a 4 ERA to serve as a number one unless you are in a 12-team or more league.

JD on Yoshinobu Yamamoto (May 27, 2026): I surprised myself here by ranking Yoshi SP4 as I've always been a bit skeptical of him and how he would hold up. In reality there's nothing in his profile that scares me off from putting all of my chips into him and building a staff around him in a dynasty league. He backs up his pretty great stuff with incredible command and I think he has a profile that is going to age very well in the scenario where his stuff takes a step back, I don't think he will be affected too much. Honestly as I'm thinking about it, he's more like a right-handed Cris Sanchez and it's about the highest praise I can levy on a pitcher right now.
