The fScore darling.
We’re not saying the guy is going to get MVP votes in his career. But we are saying that he’s a five-category guy immediately. The combination of power, hit tool, discipline, and speed… you just don’t find that often with minor league kids.
Kyle Bradish
I don’t like saying the same things as every other fantasy baseball analyst. I really don’t. And that’s the main reason why I don’t listen to anybody else. I don’t even want to know if I’m agreeing with anybody else.
But it doesn’t take more than a couple minutes of listening to a fantasy baseball podcast this year to hear someone raving about Bradish. I’m less excited about him than most dudes. I don’t think he has a great fastball, and that will hold him down more than people want to believe. But if you’re in a league with a bunch of fish, you might get a steal price on this dude. There’s no way he should go outside of the top 25 SPs, and I do think you’ll see that happening in some situations.
