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.
