The starting pitching is now on tap as I share with you all those who I will most likely target in 2018 fantasy Baseball drafts. As always, be sure to avoid taking a pitcher too early as those who made that stupid mistake a year ago learned some harsh lessons (Clayton Kershaw, Noah Syndegaard, Madison Bumgarner). The depth is still very good here despite the explosion of the home run ball and so these are good names to target on that front. STARTING PITCHING I WILL TARGET Jacob DeGrom: I invested in DeGrom in the Experts League last season as his ADP slipped and a good buying opportunity presented itself. The result was a Cy Young-worth campaign where DeGrom posted career-bests everywhere. While his price is surely going up, it may be possible for me to snag him in the Round 4 range which is the earliest I will ever look at a pitcher. Chris Archer: Yes him again. I was all-in on Archer a year ago and remain bullish. He is one of the most overpowering pitchers in Baseball but his problems with home runs undermine his ratios. Archer's XFIP and FIP ERA's always end up in the low-to-mid-3.00 range and that will be the case if he just curbs the homers a bit. Carlos Carrasco: Another longtime favorite of mine, Carrasco put it all together like DeGrom in 2017. The hype is still not over-the-top here though as many are understandably leery of Carrasco's penchant for getting hurt but his stuff is as good as anyone in Baseball ...
