The ScoreFantasy: 15 rookies to target

Rookies should continue to be hot commodities in fantasy baseball following tremendous first-year campaigns by Corbin Carroll, Gunnar Henderson, and Kodai Senga in 2023.Below are 15 rookies who could be difference-makers on your roster. Average draft positions (ADP) are from FantasyPros as of March 11.Top rookies to draftYoshinobu Yamamoto, Dodgers - SP (ADP: 36) Masterpress / Getty Images Sport / GettyYamamoto begins the season with much fanfare after inking a 12-year, $325-million deal with the Dodgers following a tremendous run in Japan. The right-hander should be one of the top rookies available in drafts, and also one of the earliest pitchers selected thanks to his durability, strikeouts, and high win probability.Evan Carter, Rangers - OF (ADP: 102)Carter broke out in a big way for the Rangers at the end of last season and in the playoffs and still maintains rookie eligibility this year. The 21-year-old could be a great speed-power threat (10 of his 19 hits were for extra bases last season), who's also capable of hitting for average and logging a high on-base percentage due to his good eye.Shota Imanaga, Cubs - SP (ADP: 201)Imanaga arrives in MLB with a lot less hype than Yamamoto, but he's still quite good. The southpaw posted a 2.96 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 1,129 2/3 innings in Japan, while maintaining terrific strikeout numbers (10.6 K/9 in 2023) and keeping his walks down. He should make for a solid mid-rotation starter.Jung Hoo Lee, Giants - OF (ADP: 208)Lee's a big-ticket acquisition out of Korea this offseason after he dominated KBO pitching over seven campaigns. The 25-year-old is more of a high average, OBP-type, but there's some thunder in his bat, too. Steamer projects a .291/.354/.430 slash line with 12 homers and 58 RBIs, which is solid considering half his games will be played at cavernous Oracle Park.Junior Caminero, Rays - 3B/SS (ADP: 214)Caminero struggled in seven games with the Rays last season, but he should get a shot to join Tampa's roster at some point this year (he'll start the season in Triple-A). The 20-year-old showcased prodigious power and terrific bat-to-ball skills in the minor leagues, which could make him a hidden gem for fantasy owners if the same skills transfer over to the big stage.Risky rookies with upsideJackson Chourio, Brewers - OF (ADP: 143) Diamond Images / Diamond Images / GettyChourio has a lot of eyes on him after signing the richest contract in history for a player yet to make his MLB debut ($82 million over eight years). The Brewers are expected to entrust the youngster with a starting gig after he tore up minor-league pitching with a .283/.338/.467 slash line to go with 22 homers and 44 steals, but fantasy owners should proceed with caution - he's only 19 years old and is unproven at the big-league level.Mason Miller, Athletics - SP (ADP: 259)Miller's currently listed as a starting pitcher in leagues, but the A's appear to be leaning towards using him at closer to begin the season. The 25-year-old has the stuff to finish games (98.6-mph average fastball velocity), but who knows how many save opportunities he's going to get for an Oakland team projected to win 64 games.Ceddanne Rafaela, Red Sox - SS, OF (ADP: 356)Rafaela made his debut late last season and is in spring training trying to win Boston's starting center-field job. Even if Rafaela doesn't crack the Opening Day lineup, he should play a significant role with the Red Sox at some point this season. While Steamer projects a somewhat underwhelming .256/.297/.422 slash line with 12 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 102 games, his production should increase if he starts the season with the big club. The 23-year-old is coming off a 20-homer, 36-stolen base season over 108 minor-league games in 2023, and would benefit from playing in hitter-friendly Fenway Park. He also provides shortstop and outfield eligibility.Jordan Lawlar, Diamondbacks - SS (ADP: 369)Lawlar's been tabbed the D-Backs' shortstop of the future since they drafted him sixth overall in 2021. He struggled during a 14-game stint in the bigs last season after a promising minor-league campaign, and is blocked by Geraldo Perdomo, but he's one injury away from getting his shot. Lawlar has game-changing speed and steals potential, along with a good eye and pop (career .390 OBP and .503 SLG in the minors).Kyle Manzardo, Guardians - 1B (ADP: 404)The Guardians' first-base job is Manzardo's to lose and the 23-year-old is off to a good start in spring training. The former Rays farmhand possesses big hit (55) and power (55) tools, which bodes well for fantasy owners hunting for late-round homers and RBIs, but don't expect a high average or steals.High-impact prospects on the vergeWyatt Langford, Rangers - OF (ADP: 164) Steph Chambers / Getty Images Sport / GettyLangford's set professional baseball on fire since the Rangers selected him fourth overall in 2023. The 22-year-old made easy work of four minor-league levels last season (1.157 OPS with 10 HRs, 30 RBIs, 12 SBs in 44 games) and has brought the same kind of success into spring camp for the Rangers, slugging .828 with four homers in 11 games. He's worth a look and at least a bench stash.Jackson Holliday, Orioles - 2B/SS (ADP: 183)MLB's top prospect has a 50-50 chance to make the team out of spring training, according to Orioles executives, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Holliday begin the campaign in the minors. He's still only 20 years old and the Orioles have a glut of talented infielders, including Henderson, Jordan Westburg, Jorge Mateo, and Ram n Ur as.Paul Skenes, Pirates - SP (ADP: 253)The Pirates already informed Skenes he won't make the Opening Day roster, but don't give up on him just yet. The No. 1 pick in 2023 is more polished than other farmhands because of his college playing time and Pittsburgh could easily deal veterans Mart n P rez and Marco Gonzales later this season to free up a spot for their top prospect.James Wood, Nationals - OF (ADP: 371)Wood's opened eyes in camp, showing off his promising power potential, but he's also very prone to striking out and is still just 21. Plus, the Nationals have a number of veterans like Joey Gallo, Eddie Rosario, and Victor Robles vying for outfield roster spots, further complicating things.Ricky Tiedemann, Blue Jays - SP (ADP: 406)The Blue Jays' top prospect has looked terrific in the minor leagues over the past two seasons (2.71 ERA, 14.6 K/9), and was sharp in the Arizona Fall League, too. He was slowed by a hamstring injury to begin spring camp, but there's a chance fans see him in the majors at some point this season if he continues his upward trajectory. He's a recommended stash if you have a bench spot available.Copyright © 2024 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

The ScoreReport: Nationals agree to minor-league deal with Eddie Rosario

The Washington Nationals added another veteran to their spring competition, agreeing to a minor-league contract with outfielder Eddie Rosario, Andrew Golden of the Washington Post reports.Rosario's deal could pay him up to $4 million with incentives if he's in the majors, sources told Daniel lvarez-Montes of El Extrabase. Completion of the agreement is pending a physical.The 32-year-old is a familiar face to the Nationals after he spent most of the last three seasons with the NL East-rival Atlanta Braves. Rosario was instrumental to Atlanta's 2021 World Series championship, posting a 1.073 OPS during that playoff run and winning the NLCS MVP.After struggling in 2022 while battling vision issues, Rosario rebounded last year to hit .255/.305/.450 with 21 homers, 74 RBIs, and three defensive runs saved in 142 games as Atlanta's primary left fielder. It marked his best overall season since his 32-homer 2019 campaign with the Minnesota Twins.Rosario adds another name to a crowded group of Nationals outfielders vying for regular-season roster spots. His primary competition is likely fellow non-roster invitee Jesse Winker, who's emerging as the front-runner in left field. Both Winker and Rosario could serve as the left-handed half of a left-field platoon or hold the position down full time if Stone Garrett begins the season on the injured list.Other outfield candidates for Washington include Alex Call and Jacob Young, who are both on the Nats' 40-man roster and have minor-league options remaining. Top prospect James Wood has also turned heads with a stellar start to his Grapefruit League season.Rosario is a lifetime .268/.305/.460 hitter with 159 home runs and 548 RBIs across parts of nine big-league seasons with Atlanta, Minnesota, and Cleveland. The Puerto Rico native has primarily played left field during his career but does have some experience manning the other two outfield spots.Copyright © 2024 Score Media Ventures Inc.
