In the article, I cover the players using CBS’s (about 40% or less initial roster rate) and Yahoo’s ADD/DROP rates. Both hosting sites have the option for daily and weekly waiver wire adds. CBS uses a weekly change while Yahoo looks at the last 24 hours. Yahoo is a great snapshot of right now, while CBS ensures hot targets from early in the week aren’t missed. The players are ordered for redraft leagues by my rest-of-season preference, grouped by starters, relievers, and hitters. Read the rest of this entry »
Note: With the trade deadline coming up and some teams in buy or sell mode, I’m not going too deep into changes. I’m going to look for obvious moves that will likely stick.
Angels
• Yoán Moncada (vs RHP) and Kevin Newman (vs LHP) are in a third base platoon.
• LaMonte Wade Jr. and Jorge Soler split time in right field. Read the rest of this entry »

The chart includes their performance for 2025, their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far, my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. Obviously, there are league sizes beyond those three so it’s essentially a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher only has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t mean there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it’s a much riskier stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H starts are generally lower, especially in points leagues so I thought there would be more valuable focusing on roto.

José Ramírez is the only third baseman so far in 2025 to post positive value in each traditional roto category. That’s incredible, and it’s the reason J-Ram is in the mix as the best third baseman in the league every single season. Manny Machado isn’t a base-stealer, but he’s returned positive value in every other category. Junior Caminero, Rafael Devers, Eugenio Suárez, and Isaac Paredes are the third basemen with three positive value categories:
| Name | mAVG | mRBI | mR | mSB | mHR | Current Dollar Value | Positive Category Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| José Ramírez | $5.03 | $0.45 | $1.98 | $12.87 | $2.50 | $37.35 | 5 |
| Manny Machado | $4.66 | $2.61 | $3.20 | -$0.26 | $1.78 | $26.49 | 4 |
| Junior Caminero | -$3.45 | $4.04 | $2.39 | -$2.13 | $6.11 | $21.47 | 3 |
| Rafael Devers | -$2.92 | $6.91 | $2.39 | -$4.63 | $1.78 | $18.03 | 3 |
| Eugenio Suárez | -$3.77 | $10.50 | $3.60 | -$4.63 | $11.90 | $32.10 | 3 |
| Isaac Paredes | -$2.34 | $0.10 | $0.77 | -$5.26 | $3.22 | $11.00 | 3 |
Each of these players had a great first half and has probably made the fantasy managers’ rostering them have great first halves as well. Swap Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in for Isaac Paredes, and you’re looking at the top six third basemen at the half. Which of these, if any, surprises you? In this article, I compare my third base preseason rank predictions with mid-year actuals.
NOTE: data reflects games played through Sunday, July 20th.
