Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch 2024: Yanier Diaz, Paul Goldschmidt & More
We are just a few days away from September call ups arriving, so let’s take a look at some of the veteran MLB players rising and falling in this week’s Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch.
MLB player stock is always relative to your league. If you play in a shallow 10-team league, the value of a player can be much lower than if you were playing in a 14-teamer. But if there’s one thing we know about the fantasy community, the value of a rookie can be wildly overrated.
People are going to be adding and dropping players like crazy this week, so paying attention to your league’s add/drops is going to be vital. Someone always makes a mistake. They’ll think the MLB player stock of a veteran in a one-week slump is in the trash and will bounce him for the flavor of the week. Sometimes, a little patience is all you need to gain some ground and that’s what we hope to help you with our Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch.
On the other side, some veterans just need to be cut loose. The MLB player stock of an aging veteran everyone hopes will bring it back is not worth the dust off an old piece of bubble gum you find in an unopened pack of 1980 Topps baseball cards. Wishing and hoping they come around is an exercise in futility, so it’s always important to rip off the band-aid and move on.
All that being said, let’s play a little ‘3 Up, 3 Down’.
