Players you’re excited to follow in 2021

LVDan · 12-14-2020, 01:43 PM

As offseason prices for a lot of players have already bottomed out and we’re starting to see some FA moves and a few small trades..
Who are you looking forward to watching next season?

I’ll be watching the lowly Rangers lineup and box scores closely in spring- curious to find out what David Dahl is and very excited to see Nate Lowe as a starting first baseman. Also curious to see if Calhoun can repeat his 2019 power, if Gallo can hold a .250+ average and how Kiner Falefa and Solak fare as well. Plus Sam Huff and Apostel. Will their new stadium be an extreme pitchers park?

rogatsby · 12-14-2020, 01:50 PM

I want to see Jasson Dominguez actually play in some real games in the minors. I really hope the hype is real. It would be exciting to see another new, elite star in the game.

cardsin47 · 12-14-2020, 01:57 PM

I really WANDER what Franco will do, assuming he plays this upcoming season

eye4talent · 12-14-2020, 02:00 PM

Vladdy, Vladdy, and Vladdy.

And Bichette, too.

And I’m curious to see if the time off will have re-energized Buster Posey. I would love to see a glimmer of his early days.

Trout, Ronny, Juanny, Fatboy and GT

SpecialFNK · 12-14-2020, 02:20 PM

I have pulled so many rookies this summer/fall/winter that I want to see these players do well.. Juan Soto, Luis Robert, Gavin Lux, Randy Arozarena, Aristides Aquino, Bo Bichette, Yordan Alvarez, Nick Solak, Vladimir Guerrero, Keston Hiura, Nick Madrigal, Willi Castro, Jason Dominguez, Nico Hoerner, Sam Hilliard, Jesus Luzardo, AJ Puk, Kyle Lewis, Brendan McKay, Trent Grisham, Bobby Bradley, Zac Gallen, Aaron Civale, Dustin May, Michael Kopech.

just to name a few.

metsandweezer · 12-14-2020, 02:22 PM

Bichette. Kid is a stud

Boredlawyer · 12-14-2020, 02:25 PM

Can Vladimir Guerrero right the ship or will he be a victim of poor launch angles?

Was Jo Adell's disasterous 2020 a fluke?

Is August Luis Robert or September Luis Robert the real Robert?

Can Nate Pearson command the strike zone?

Will Mackenzie Gore and Luis Patino have successful big league debuts?

Will Kristian Robinson continue improving?

Can Taylor Trammell bounce back?

Biggest questions are...

Will we see organized minor league statistics in 2021?

Will we see prospects skip levels after no accrued 2020 statistics?

espnfanco · 12-14-2020, 02:28 PM

Raimel Tapia

Noles939913 · 12-14-2020, 02:28 PM

Luis Arraez. Looking forward to seeing him continue to pile up .300+ seasons.

Hollywood42 · 12-14-2020, 02:30 PM

At first thought-

Twins guys: Kirilloff, Arraez, Jorge Alcala, Edwar Colina, and in the minors Jordan Balazovic and Aaron Sabato

Elsewhere: Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani, Zac Gallen, Sixto Sanchez, Nate Pearson, Michael Kopech

Prospects: Julio Rodriguez, Vidal Brujan, Max Meyer

epatmythes · 12-14-2020, 02:32 PM

same as every year... Trout & every single guy on the Cubs!

Also, Albert Pujols, will this actually be the final season of his HOF career?

speedyjg13 · 12-14-2020, 02:39 PM

Mike Trout

Jo Adell

David Fletcher

tedwilliamsfan · 12-14-2020, 02:42 PM

Mook Man

Wander

Ron-Bone

Juanny Baseball

The Fish

and a whole bunch more.

I am ready for some Baseball.

eye4talent · 12-14-2020, 02:48 PM

Miguel Cabrera

He has a really good shot at reaching 3000 hits, 500 HR and 1800 RBI in ‘21. His September could be milestone-heavy.

He’ll also pass 5000 total bases and could reach 600 doubles.

And for good measure, he’s one away from 40 career stolen bases.

I’m ready for Vladdy to steal the spotlight in 2021. Also interested to see if Jose Abreu could have one of his best years with 40+ HRs.

dfenno · 12-14-2020, 02:53 PM

Bichette
Willie Calhoun
Machado
Correa

Every season:
Kershaw
Scherzer
Mookie

Triple B · 12-14-2020, 02:53 PM

The Vladdy and Bo Show. That Jays team is going to be sick AND they have yet to make any waves in free agency.

Luis Robert. I’m hoping a full season gives this kid the chance to shine.

cavsfan70 · 12-14-2020, 02:55 PM

Bichette
LouBob
Moncada... rebound plz
Trout
Acuna Jr
Tatis Jr
Vlad Jr
Lindor when he is inevitably traded
Judge
Adell

PumpnDumpling · 12-14-2020, 02:55 PM

My default answer; Mondesi, hoping he can carry some of that momentum into the next season

Also collecting and rooting for Yordan, Freddy Fastball and few other randos

ottobord · 12-14-2020, 02:57 PM

Jasson Dominguez I'll be following those minor league streams and box scores very closely, gonna be interesting.

Good call, I'll probably follow Miggy a little this year. Always fun to watch a player hit major milestones.

bblair_2002 · 12-14-2020, 02:57 PM

As always,Albert Pujols and now that he's made it,Ian Anderson.

Divino · 12-14-2020, 03:38 PM

I'm very curious to see if Trent Grisham takes another step forward this year, and becomes a star. He had a few flashes last year.
