Welcome to another episode of the FantasyPros Baseball Podcast. The show is hosted by our own Dan Harris (@danharris80). He’ll be interviewing featured experts and team correspondents who will provide insight throughout the baseball season.

We’re joined by Frank Stampfl of CBS Sports to discuss our latest rankings for 10 notable players who have moved to new teams so far this offseason. Are Yu Darvish’s (7:19) remarkable 2020 numbers sustainable in San Diego in 2021 and is Blake Snell’s (14:49) move to the Padres an upgrade for him, or will his extra innings volume actually increase his injury risk? Is Ha-Seong Kim (28:27) a viable fantasy starter at shortstop after coming over from the KBO and how might Dane Dunning’s (40:00) pitch repertoire dictate his success this year? We end the show by examining Frank’s five fantasy baseball New Year’s resolutions (44:00) and look into what Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s (54:04) upside could be if he lowered his groundball rate.
