As we dive into the heart of draft season, the excitement is palpable! With so many strategies and player evaluations swirling around, I want to hear your thoughts on a few intriguing players who could be the hidden gems of your fantasy roster this year.
First up, let’s talk about TJ Friedl from the Cincinnati Reds. With an ADP of 252, he’s flying under the radar despite a potential bounce-back season. Do you think he can deliver on the promise of 16 home runs and 17 steals? Or is he just another injury-prone player we should avoid?
Then there’s Zack Gelof of the Oakland Athletics. His ADP is around 219, and while the A’s may not be contenders, Gelof could be a sneaky source of power and speed. Can he really meet those lofty projections of 19 homers and 20 steals? What’s your take on targeting players from struggling teams?
Tyler Fitzgerald is another name to consider. A potential 20/20 guy at an ADP of 239 sounds enticing, but is he worth the risk given his high strikeout rate? How do you weigh the potential for power against the likelihood of a slump?
And let’s not forget about Jo Adell. With a K-rate improvement and a solid sprint speed, he’s a tantalizing option at ADP 290. Are you willing to take a chance on him for a breakout season, or do you think the hype has faded too much?
Lastly, what are your thoughts on the impact of ballpark changes, like Gelof moving to a more hitter-friendly environment? How much do you factor in these changes when drafting players?
Let’s get the conversation rolling! Share your bold predictions, insights, and any players you think could surprise us this season. Who are your must-have steals in the later rounds?
