Jerks and Profar's signing with the Atlanta Braves marks a significant move as the team aims to bolster its outfield depth after losing notable players like Charlie Morton and Jorge Soler. The podcast discusses the implications of this acquisition, particularly for fantasy baseball enthusiasts. Scott White expressed cautious optimism about the Braves' additions, acknowledging Profar’s impressive past season where he achieved a career-high 24 home runs and 10 steals. Despite skepticism regarding the sustainability of Profar's performance, the potential for value at a low ADP remains appealing.
In analyzing outfield tiers, top players such as Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and Juan Soto are positioned as first-round picks despite the uncertainties surrounding Ohtani's shoulder surgery. The discussion covers the volatility of players changing teams and their performance in new environments. For example, Soto's transition to the Mets could yield mixed results due to park factors and historical performance metrics.
