Revamping the Top Two Rounds of Fantasy Baseball for the Second Half
Highlights from fantasy baseball, featuring top players and their projected performance as the second half of the season approaches.
Take a breath. The All-Star break is here. Your daily routine of cornering the latest breakout pitcher and plugging the latest injury leak can go on pause for now, allowing you to turn your attention to other Fantasy Baseball matters.
Here’s one: What does the top of the player pool look like? It’s probably not something you’ve thought about since your draft. All those guys were divvied up at that point, and unless you have a raucous trade market, they’re pretty much staying put.
But just for curiosity’s sake, let’s consider how the first two rounds might look if we could do them all over again. In case it needs to be said, we’re not drafting for what’s already happened. We’re drafting for what’s still to come.
Because the choices could change depending on format, I’ve settled on 5x5 Rotisserie as the format of record (though Head-to-Head points is depicted further below).
Round 1
- Aaron Judge - New York Yankees RF
- Shohei Ohtani - Los Angeles Dodgers DH
- Bobby Witt - Kansas City Royals SS
- Ronald Acuna - Atlanta Braves RF
- Jose Ramirez - Cleveland Guardians 3B …
Round 2
- Kyle Schwarber - Philadelphia Phillies OF
- Elly De La Cruz - Cincinnati Reds SS
- Cal Raleigh - Seattle Mariners C
