re: 2016 Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions

Stanton won't even finish the year with the most HRs on the Marlins. Bonds makes a comeback and leads the team.
I kid, I think Ozuna or Bour will instead. More towards Ozuna is he stays healthy

Stanton has 7:1 odds to lead the MLB in HR and his line is set at 43
Next closest is Harper at 12:1
The only scenario he doesn't lead Miami in HR is if he is hurt. Even so he played 74 games last year and led them in HR

Yup, he has by far the best power in the game. There are bold predictions and stupid ones that have no chance of happening. Assuming Stanton stays healthy or hell even plays 100 games, then he will lead in team homers.

I'm driving the Ozuna hype train and even I think this is ridiculous.

This is a BOLD prediction thread guys. Plus I don't see Stanton staying healthy all year. Let the predictions play out before you criticize them in the Spring

That's the boldest prediction I've ever seen. Winning 20 games after returning in August and making 10 starts would be nuts!
I can't math today. For some reason I had him returning in May.

I just finally finished my semi-bold predictions, but we are still early enough where I want to post them.
Catcher
Good: Travis d’Arnaud finally stays healthy all year and lives up to his vaunted pedigree with 25/85 and an OPS over .800.
Bad: JT Realmuto fails to reach double-digit homers or steals after getting a little hype as a potential rare power-speed blend at catcher.
First base
Good: We have all been saying this for years, but Brandon Belt finishes top five at first base.
Good: Anthony Rizzo finishes the year as the top player in fantasy baseball (not THAT bold).
Second base
Good: I know that Jonathan Schoop is everyone’s sleeper, but we need to actually get bold with his power projection. Give me 35 homers, but he still finishes third on the team in home runs after Chris Davis and Pedro Alvarez. Adam Jones and Manny Machado hit 25+ each.
Good: It finally happens. Brett Lawrie becomes top five at his position with loads of counting stats including 20 homers.
Third base
Good: Maikel Franco blows up as we are all expecting with 30-35 homers, 90 RBI’s, and he finds himself as a top 25 draft in 2017. This was the year to buy him cheap.
Bad: Justin Turner finishes with under 250 plate appearances due to the depth of the Dodgers and injuries that limit his effectiveness and lands on the waiver wire in almost all leagues.
Shortstop:
Good: Jonathan Villar stays on the field even after Orlando Arcia gets the call to the show and takes advantage of homer-friendly Miller Park and a rebuilding roster to go 10-40.
Bad: Carlos Correa gives everyone who goes crazy for position scarcity a reality check. He is still one of the best players in the game, but paying a first-round price tag for a player who goes just better than 20-20 in a full season is not the best gambit.
Outfield
Good: My love for Gregory Polanco is pretty well known at this point, and he goes 20-40 as this year’s AJ Pollock. He looks great through the first couple of games.
Good: Lester Earl already posted this one, but I also had Travis Jankowski leading baseball in steals.
Good: Another one straight from Lester Earl’s page was that Aaron Hicks goes 20-20 for the Yankees.
Bad: Mookie Betts fails to break 20 in homers or steals and 80 in runs or RBI’s.
Bad: Yoenis Cespedes hits fewer than 20 homers despite playing over 140 games.
Starters
Good: Felix Hernandez wins the Cy Young award after a down year.
Bad: Jeff Samardzija either gets relegated to the bullpen or goes down to the Minors.
Relievers
Good: Sam Dyson sucks up the closing gig for Texas, becomes a top ten fantasy closer, and records over 30 saves.
Good: Hunter Strickland takes the role of the Giants closer by mid-season and never looks back.
Good: All three of the Yankees super relievers finish in the top ten of RP in the Player Rater.
Bad: No one in Philadelphia records 15 saves even with the team over achieving and winning more than 70 games.
Catcher
Good: Travis d’Arnaud finally stays healthy all year and lives up to his vaunted pedigree with 25/85 and an OPS over .800.
Bad: JT Realmuto fails to reach double-digit homers or steals after getting a little hype as a potential rare power-speed blend at catcher.

Turner is already at 50 PA thru 12 games, which is good for me because I have been really high on him this year and have him in all but 1 of my leagues.
