Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2025 7:32 pm
As we dive deeper into the spring training season, the buzz around lesser-known players is starting to heat up. With draft season upon us, it's time to discuss those hidden gems that could make or break our fantasy teams in deep leagues.
Take Pavin Smith, for instance. With an ADP of 462, he’s being given a shot at the DH role for the Diamondbacks. Could he be the surprise player who outperforms his draft position? Or is he just another name on a long list of players who never quite pan out?
Then there's Michael Massey, who many thought would be pushed aside with the arrival of Jonathan India. Yet, he’s been making waves in spring training. Is it possible that he could provide more value than we initially anticipated?
And what about Mike Tauchman? He’s been a solid OBP guy, but can he really be trusted as a lead-off man for a struggling White Sox team?
Let’s not forget about Mickey Moniak, who’s still young enough to turn things around. After winning his arbitration case, could this newfound confidence translate into better performance on the field?
As we sift through these names, I want to hear your thoughts. Who are you targeting in the late rounds of your drafts? Are there any players you believe could exceed expectations this season? Or do you think it’s better to play it safe and stick with more established names?
Let’s get the conversation rolling! What are your bold predictions for these deep league players?
