Goldschmidt's elbow issue coming after a disappointing first season in St. Louis is cause for alarm. He may be fine to open the season, but Olson and LeMahieu look more appealing until Goldy can show he has a clean bill of health.
Trey Mancini's status is almost impossible to gauge since his injury is so mysterious and there's no official word about how much time he's expected to miss. Because of this, he should be avoided in drafts until the later rounds because he might be facing a lengthy absence. As such, he's fallen off the list for now.
O'Hearn has had an absolutely scorching spring with five home runs leading all first basemen. He has to translate that into the regular season before he rises any further.
