Top Dynasty Keepers: Players 25-1
We've finally made it - the final top dynasty keepers! The best of the best, the cream of the crop, or any other cliché you can think of.
You've been waiting for weeks to see who made the top 25, right? Well, ff you are a fan of hoarding the top fantasy pitchers, then this top 25 is not for you as only two hurlers cracked my Tier 1 group.
I understand the importance of pitching in real life, but in the fantasy baseball world, I've always been able to cobble together a solid pitching pitching staff during the season either with trades or timely free agent adds. In all of the dynasty leagues I'm in, I have used my prospects as trade chips to bring in established pitchers.
If you love to add players 30 or older, you will also not be a fan of my Tier 1 group. I love Mike Trout and Freddie Freeman (the lone 30-or-older players to make this list), but I'm building a dynasty team. I want the youngest top players possible. That said, Trout is still in my Top 10 while Freeman comes in at No. 21 thanks mostly to the fact he is 32. But with the universal DH, I could understand why he should be a top 20 player.
Just Draft Dodgers!
When sitting on the couch watching a baseball game and one of your favorite teams is whoever is playing the Los Angeles Dodgers, you are not going to like this list either.
The Dodgers have four of my top 25 keepers (Freeman, Walker Buehler, Mookie Betts and Trea Turner) and could have had five if Corey Seager decided to stay in Southern California. And who says money can't buy happiness. Of those four players, only Buehler is a homegrown talent after being drafted in the first round of the 2015 draft out of Vanderbilt (though Pittsburgh did draft Buehler in the 14th round of the 2012 draft).
While the Dodgers dominate the list, the Toronto Blue Jays own the top five as two players - Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. - crack the group. Seven other teams also have two players show up in Tier 1.
So, let's see who they are and get to the 25 top dynasty keepers.
