Fantasy Baseball Trade Values: Overall rankings for H2H, Rotisserie leagues for Week 1

USATSI

It's never too early to make a trade to make your Fantasy Baseball team better, but it can be awkward to try to actually pull off a big trade at the start of the season. For the most part, nothing much has happened between now and when you drafted that should change how you think about your team; the players you liked enough to draft should, generally speaking, still be players you want on your team.

As I'm writing this, we've seen a single day's worth of games played, and that just isn't very much information. That's not to say there was nothing to take away from Opening Day -- Scott White wrote about 10 things you should take away from the first day of games, in fact -- but, as a general rule, one game shouldn't change how you feel about just about any player.

That being said, this all does depend on when you draft, obviously. If you drafted early in March and lost Edwin Diaz or Jose Altuve or Rhys Hoskins to injury, you might have a hole in your lineup that might need to be filled via trade, for example. Even in that instance, I would argue you're probably better off waiting to see how the first few weeks to a month of the season shakes out before you actually make any moves, because there will be players who see their perceived value rise or fall, and you can take advantage of that. You might feel desperate to make a move, but you shouldn't be.

Not yet, anyway. In my first round of Fantasy Baseball Trade Values, you aren't going to see many changes from my preseason rankings. I'll start making some tweaks as soon as this weekend, when we have a bit more lineup data and see how teams are deploying their closers, but those are the only changes I'll be making. Performance-related changes likely won't be coming for a few more weeks, for the most part, because those need a lot more data to be actionable.

Even relatively concrete changes like velocity spikes aren't a guarantee that a player will be better. I'm higher on Pablo Lopez now than I was in early March after seeing a velocity spike and a new sweeper breaking ball added to his arsenal, but I'm not so sure he'll be a better pitcher because of them that I'm ready to shoot him up the starting pitcher ranks; another couple of starts like Opening Day's 5.2 shutout innings with eight walks will help.

So, don't expect to see too many drastic changes in these rankings over the next few weeks. We're just getting started, and we're not going to overreact. Yet.

Note: For the Trade Values Chart, you can figure out if you're making a fair trade by simply matching the values from each side of the deal up. The math starts to get a little trickier the more lopsided the trade becomes in terms of numbers of players dealt, of course, because you'll be adding or dropping players that won't be accounted for in the deal itself, but it should still be pretty useful for guiding you in the right direction.
