This reminds me, I have to start keeping an eye out for any 2024 fantasy baseball content written in the ancient hand-held format of paper. Also known as a magazine. I think Lindy's and NBC are the only two left.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I'll swap out Nolan Jones in Colorado with Victor Vodnik having a breakout season in the Rockies bullpen this season and possibly even leading the team in saves.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

The Rangers are World Champions partly because of their next-man-up mentality. Five of their six All-Star players spent time on IL.
Assuming Evan Carter is off-limits, I'll throw out three names--Ezequiel Duran, Wyatt Langford, and Jack Lieter.- Marcus Semien is a stud at 2B but Duran could step in if there is a long-term injury. He could also play 3B and spot at SS.
- The team has no established DH. Wyatt has speed but is not a good defensive player anywhere. Spotting at 1B, 3B, and both corner OF about half the time and DH the other half would get him the needed AB. No one is denying his hitting prowess.
- Lieter is currently the best of three AAA SP who could make some noise in 2024. The article's candidate, Own White, is one of the other two.

The Marlins writer chose an interesting one, Anthony Bender. Personally I doubt he gets many save chances.
My Marlins breakout pick is easily Edward Cabrera. Apply the rookie learning curve to him, he limits the walks, he could have a very good season.

.270/.322/.439
16 HRs
13 SBs
71 R
51 RBI
If he could do something like that as a late round flyer, that's a win

Wait, 2024 will be Cabrera's 4th season to pitch in the bigs, and he lost rookie eligibility in 2022, how long does he get the rookie learning curve?

Vidal Brujan has a chance to be the starter at shortstop. He might also hit at the top of the lineup. If these two things occur he could surprise.
