2025 Fantasy Outlook

All the projection systems absolutely nailed Simpson's 2025 home run total, so kudos on that! Simpson was twice promoted to the big league club and was as fast as adverised successfully stealing 44 bases in 56 attemps when he managed to get on base. Pitchers had absolutely no fear of challenging him with fastballs because they knew he could not hit home runs, so pitchers did not care Simpson hit .310 off fastballs or even .326 off breaking pitches. Since he saw so many strikes, he rarely walked so he had to earn his way on base with either very soft contact to holes in the defense or solid line drives. Simpson's limitations leave him in the 9-hole of the lineup and his defensive struggles put his playing time at risk. As it were, the Rays just had one of the worst single-season home run totals for outfielders in recent memory so it is unclear how the likes of Simpson, Deluca, Mangum, and Misner all co-exist moving forward. This could be another version of Esteury Ruiz if the defense does not improve. Read Past Outlooks
