2023 Fantasy Baseball: AL East players to target in drafts
Fantasy baseball analysts Scott Pianowski, Dalton Del Don and Andy Behrens reveal the player they're targeting on each AL East team. — Dalton Del Don• Masataka Yoshida has on-base skills and a beautiful swing, plus he's available outrageously late — generally outside the top-200 picks. — Dalton Del Don• As a committed member of the no-early-round-pitchers club, I'll gladly begin building a staff with Luis Severino outside the top 100-or-so picks. — Dalton Del Don• If I was the sort of person who targeted starting pitchers in the first third of a draft, I'd be partial to Alex Manoah. — Andy Behrens
wftv.com2023 Fantasy Baseball: One sleeper to consider drafting from every MLB team
Your definition of fantasy baseball sleeper may vary, but the following list contains undervalued players when compared to ADP. Andrus re-signed in Chicago, which has increased homers by 22% for RHB over the last three years. He has questionable durability but elite stuff, while Daniel Bard is coming off a career-best season; he's also showing decreased velocity in spring. Matz is coming off a torn MCL (not an arm injury) and enters 2023 fully healthy — and a fantasy sleeper. Kyle Manzardo is a deeper fantasy sleeper who'll command a big FAAB bid once he's called up midseason.
