FTN Fantasy & Rotoballer analyst, Eric Cross joins Sara and Shelly to debate rookies and prospects in 2024 and beyond. Discussions The highest rated rookies by the FanGraphs Player Rater are currently Jackson Merrill ($21.6), Ceddanne Rafaela ($16.6) and Jackson Chourio ($16) -- who do we think will wind up with the highest value at the end of 2024? Same concept but with starting pitchers. Paul Skenes ($19.8) and Shota Imanaga ($17.7) have both been excellent, who do we think will come out on top at the end of 2024. Speaking of Shota, do players coming from international professional leagues have a different on ramp or set of expectations than rookies? Let's look ahead, which pitching prospect who hasn't debuted will have the biggest impact in 2025? Which hitting prospect who hasn't debuted will have the biggest impact in 2025? When evaluating the five tools (running, throwing, hitting, fielding and power) which is most important as an 80-grade tool for fantasy position players? Love it or Leave it Logan O'Hoppe's father is cancer free and he invited 350 people , including the oncologist, to celebrate at Yankee Stadium. Francisco Álvarez walked it off against the Orioles .
