As the MLB season approaches, fantasy managers sift through spring training performances, evaluating players' potential value for their drafts. While the Tokyo series kicks off the official games, it's crucial to balance excitement with caution. Injuries are reshaping drafts, with notable players like George Kirby and Grayson Rodriguez facing setbacks that have affected their average draft positions (ADP). Kirby's fall to 57 and Rodriguez's slide to 132 make them intriguing, albeit risky, targets.

On the flip side, breakout candidates are rising, with Wyatt Langford of the Texas Rangers hitting .500 and rapidly climbing to an ADP of 43. Similarly, Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays has shown promise, raising his ADP to 87. Meanwhile, established hitters like Juan Soto and Matt Wallner are showcasing power, with Wallner's ADP around 278 potentially offering a late-round steal.

However, some players are struggling, with veterans and young stars alike, such as Kyle Tucker and Salvador Perez, not finding their rhythm yet. For now, managers should keep a close eye on spring training stats while preparing for final roster decisions before opening day.
