Dynasty: Taj Bradley. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Bradley ahead, Bradley #98 and Melton #113, and the expert consensus agrees (#215 and #231). The community rates them even, FRV 49.5 and 49.1.
JD on Taj Bradley (Jun 3, 2026): I'm sort of a buyer here, I loved the profile with the Rays but for some reason he couldn't put it together. Same thing happened to Baz and I wouldn't say Baz is killing it in Baltimore but he does seem to look slightly better and he is finding his groove over the last month. For some guys the Rays system works and for some it doesn't. There's a lesson there going forward that some talented pitchers may not thrive with the Rays but they are worth following to their next teams.
JD on Troy Melton (Aug 11, 2026): Yeah I'm gonna move him up again. I'm gonna keep moving up until he proves to me that he shouldn't be this caliber of starting pitcher. I love that he is the kind of guy that can go deep into games because he’s not trying to strike out the world. He still gets his Ks, maybe not 11+ per 9 like some guys but he is still incredibly valuable to dynasty owners with his minuscule WHIP. All aboard the Melton train!
