2024 Fantasy Baseball Busts

Tyler Glasnow (SP – LAD)

“Tyler Glasnow went to the Dodgers, and everyone seems to expect an immediate ace. He looks the part, but he’ll turn 31 this summer and has never surpassed 120 MLB IP in a season. Also, who is the last player Tampa traded away who got better in a new environment?”
– Jesse Severe (Fantasy Hockey Life)

Zac Gallen (SP – ARI)

“Zac Gallen is one of my busts because he ace threw 243 innings combined between the season and playoffs last year. I’m a bit concerned by that workload along with a shaky second half. There are also other pitchers I prefer over Gallen at his ADP, like Logan Webb.”
– Frank Ammirante (The Game Day)

Nico Hoerner (2B – CHC)

“I don’t trust Nico Hoerner to return his draft value. He is one of the best contact hitters in the game, which gives him a safe floor for a batting average. The question is, what else does he offer that separates him from other second basemen? The easy answer is to point to the 43 stolen bases that he had last season. While that is true, I’m much more likely to target later options at second base like Thairo Estrada or Andres Gimenez, who can essentially provide the same statistics.”
– Corey Pieper (Fantasy Six Pack)
