JD on Shohei Ohtani DH (Sep 24, 2026): Ohtani is going to start my 3rd tier of dynasty players, and I think we are in for a wake-up call when it comes to how we can expect to see Ohtani used going forward. I think Ohtani's days of playing 150+ games every season are gone. The most responsible thing for the Dodgers to do would be to throttle his usage and make sure that he is healthy for the full season, including the playoffs, and not risk an overuse injury in July. Can he still be an elite player at 140 games per season? Absolutely. Is he also 32 years old and subjecting himself to a completely novel workload that we don't know how it will affect him in the future? Also yes. To be fair I think this workload effect manifests itself more with his pitching exposure rather than him being able to DH but I think you'll see a little bit of an effect on his offensive statistics regardless. Part of me wants to move him down even more (because this is supposed to be a 7-year dynasty projection) but I also think Ohtani can continue to be an absolute force at the plate into his late 30s. No projection methodology can account for the unique athlete that Ohtani is, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and not trust the aging curves here. To be clear this ranking is just the hitter version of him. I'm not going to try to rank the hitter/pitcher version of him because I think it's too difficult to compare him to everyone else in the league when you have the whole package working for you.
JD on Yordan Alvarez (Jun 10, 2026): Does anyone else find it hard to believe that your Yordan is only 28 years old (about to be 29)? I hope he stays healthy for the remainder of the season because man, is it fun to watch him absolutely clobber pitchers like Barry Bonds in his peak steroid era. There's nothing in his profile I'm really worried about except lingering injury concerns. I think he can put it together for a full season but the upside is second to only Aaron Judge but he's five years younger. I would've made a straight up trade of Judge for Yordan before the rib injury, and now there isn't even a question.
