With the growing popularity of projection systems accessible to the public, very few fantastic analysts continue to make their own projections. However, I continue to remain faithful to the process, because I believe that the weeks spent creating my own projections each winter give me a more in -depth knowledge of each member of the players.

Each year, I arrive at conclusions during the projection process that surprises me. Here are some of my most intriguing dishes in the construction of my projections in 2025.
Garrett Crochet, Boston Red Sox (Yahoo ADP: 39.8)
The hook is selected as SP8 in Yahoo’s projects, but I can’t find a reasonable way to push it so low on my list. The right -hander withdrew 209 staggering strikers in 146 sleeves last season, which would extrapolate 243 puffs if the Red Sox allowed him to launch 170 images. And all of its era estimators were about a run to its 3.58 ERA. Each launcher has a risk of injury, but the hook has not landed on it last year and will probably be in many of my 2025 teams.
Trea Turner, Philadelphia Phillies (Yahoo ADP: 23.3)
Turner is perhaps the most undervalued start choice. The table set played in just 121 games last year, but we cannot consider injury subjects when it missed a total of 22 games in the previous four seasons. And in terms of production per game, Turner has lost none. Its average .295 is almost identical to its career brand, and its racing rates, excluding and RBI were in line with expectations. The Speedster stolen from the basics at a reduced pace, but it should be noted that it compiled 10 shots in 33 games before undergoing a hamstring injury. He seemed to hesitate to run on his return, but Turner stole five bases in September and should return to the 30 flights now that the injury is behind him. He is a Top 15 striker.
Jonathan India, Kansas City Royals (Yahoo ADP: 246.7)
India could be an excellent adjustment to Kansas City. The 28 -year -old will never be a hitting power striker, because he has trouble establishing difficult contact. But India has maximized its chances of putting itself on the basis last year by recording excellent rates of walks (12.6%) and puffs (19.6%). The Kauffman stadium does not increase power but offers a lot of bases, which should help India do what it does best. And as a head striker in front of the generational talent Bobby Witt Jr. and the effective slugger Salvador Pérez, the old spark of the Reds could match the 98 points he scored as a recruit in 2021.
William Contreras, Milwaukee Brewers (Yahoo ADP: 46.3)
Contreras is a truly special asset to acquire in projects in 2025. My projections did not classify counteras no less than third party among the catchors in one of the five standard categories, which includes place n ° 1 in marked races and the average stick. Of course, these projections are not surprising, because Contreras was among the first four sensors of all categories last year. I find no reason to expect regression, and I see his Yahoo ADP as a full tour too late.
Ketel Marte, Arizona Diamondbacks (Yahoo ADP: 26.4)
I repeated Marte in many teams last year, when it was selected between the 75-100 choices. But now that he needs a top 30 selection, I’m absent. The 36 circuits of the 2024 31-year-old player were out of character for someone who went deeply 53 times in 422 games from 2020-2023, which was a rate of 162 games of only 20 circuits. Marte has never recorded a season of 12 flights and expecting that he repeats his 188 RBI of last year would be linked to what the D-Backs repeat a season in which their attack did Led the majors in marked runs. I currently screened Marte for the 27-86-86-6-282, which makes it precious-but not special.
Marcus Semien, Texas Rangers (Yahoo ADP: 64.0)
Semien has a notable bust potential. There are two ways to look at the players who are on a remarkable series of sustainability. Many managers will see these players as particularly safe. But everyone is injured sooner or later, and players and semien rarely continue to play in each match once they reach the middle of the thirties. The career striker .255 is unlikely to be an average stick asset, and last year, it slipped only eight bases. Semien must play in almost all matches to publish a total Homer in the mid -20s, which makes me reluctant to go much more than 20 with a projection. A line of statistics of 21 circuits, 8 interceptions and an average of .250 would keep semien outside the 100 best players.
Frightening
There will be a lot of flights but few breathtaking totals. Of the six players who slipped 40 bags last year, most are due to regression:
-
Shohei Ohtani returns to the mound and had never slipped 30 bags.
-
Before 2024, José Ramírez reached 30 interceptions for the last time in 2018.
-
Brice Turang faded as a hitter after hot start.
-
José Caballero seems labeled for a utility role.
-
Jazz Chisholm Jr. remains a significant risk for injuries.
It’s a great year to target qualified sluggers At the start of the sketches before flake in the flight category with several players who can steal 15-30 bases. In fact, I projected nearly 100 strikers for 15 interceptions (75 men reached the reference last year), but only four are tickets to reach 40 tray.
