JD on Tarik Skubal (May 27, 2026): Like I said in the Skenes blurb, I would have had him as my number one overall starter before the season started in Dynasty but the injury bug bit him. You can't have an injured pitcher be the number one overall in Dynasty option. Allegedly he is progressing well through rehab but if I see him come back towards the end of the year like he never missed a beat, then he might move back up for me. Like a house of cards, once you pull one card out of the foundation, things start to crumble and the whole frame becomes less stable. Obviously upside is number one overall pitcher. No one is disputing that. It's a matter of preference at this point. My preference is healthier, more durable pitchers over injury-prone pitchers, even if their upside might be higher.
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.
