![]() The 96-50 Braves, winners of six straight NL East titles, are on pace to beat the franchise record of 106 wins of 1998, back when their rotation included three future Hall of Famers.Ĭonsidering the injuries that kept Fried and Wright out until recently, even they are amazed. ![]() Orlando Arcia, the surprise shortstop, became an All-Star. Eddie Rosario could barely see last year before surgery. Others are beset by injuries the Braves are bolstered by recovery. The Braves tried to deal Ozuna after his 2021 domestic violence arrest but found no takers. The Braves break opponents’ spirits early, with a franchise-record 132 first-inning runs, putting them on pace for the most in decades.ģ The Braves celebrate their NL East title. Meantime, the recent returns of Braves aces Max Fried and Kyle Wright round out a rotation plenty good enough considering the offense that’s already set a new mark for home runs by a National League team with 282 and is on pace to break the overall mark of 307 set by the 2019 Twins. Not only are they the easy favorites, but now the Dodgers, the most-cited second choice, are suffering so many rotation issues they may need to resort to employing some openers in the postseason. New Mets honcho David Stearns has a tough catchup job, but to be fair, everyone trails the Braves now. The team that tied the Mets atop the NL East last year is now 28 ¹/₂ games better.

Both sides should take advantage of the other’s strengths and weaknesses by flipping prospects and veterans. ![]() Your focus on these rankings should be dictated by whether you’re currently aiming for a championship or working on a rebuild. Current performance is the most important factor in these rankings, with age and expected future performance just behind it. Hitters will always be safer and more valuable than pitchers, which is why there’s no arm currently in the top 20. Most name top-10 names are elite young bats who contribute across the board. The top players on the list should stick around for years to come. On the flip side, prospects may not produce any fantasy results for a couple of years but still make for valuable trade pieces as they climb prospect rankings. Justin Turner continues to defy Father Time but likely won’t be in the league in three years, hence the lower ranking. Players who are contributing today are valuable to competing teams but may not be of much use to rebuilders. In general, I like to view these dynasty rankings in three-to-four-year windows. Some leagues have additional outfield or infielder slots compared to standard lineups fantasy managers in those leagues may value certain positions higher, especially in a dreaded two-catcher format. Those leagues allow more non-closer bullpen arms, such as Yennier Cano and Justin Topa, to be relevant.
