The 2023 MLB season is less than two weeks away, the World Baseball Classic is coming to an end and the final push from players is coming as we get ready to wrap up spring training. What a perfect time for our 2023 MLB Bold Predictions. Now, don't confuse the word “bold” with irrational, because that's not what you're getting here. Anyone can make a ridiculously inane prediction, but if you don't have the data to support the claim, then what good is it? What we are doing here is providing you with a tool to use in your fantasy baseball draft research. You've studied the fantasy baseball player rankings, you've looked through the fantasy baseball cheat sheet, monitored the fantasy baseball ADP and you've read everything in our FREE fantasy baseball draft guide. Maybe you can consider these as potential tiebreakers if you're having a tough decision on Draft Day. That's why we do this – to serve as a potential draft tool, not to just tout ourselves. With that, let's get to them!
