Seth Beer is a potential 2022 fantasy baseball draft sleeper and ADP value pick. Target the undervalued DH in the later rounds of fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 425
CURRENT ADP: ~518 overall
ANALYSIS: The universal DH will likely give Beer a route to regular playing time and he's certainly making a case for himself in Spring. Through 11 games, Beer has a .474/.565/.842 line with one homer and four doubles.
In his first year as a pro, Beer hit 12 homers in 67 games and followed that up in 2019 by hitting 26 homers (123 games) across two levels. Last year, Beer played 100 games in Triple-A, hitting 16 homers and managed to hit his first Major League homer in his first at-bat for the Diamondbacks.
Beer has an ADP of ~606 and is undrafted in most formats while Cruz's ADP is ~175. There's a very real chance that 2022 is finally the year that age catches up with Cruz and Beer reminds everyone why the Astros drafted him in the first round just four years ago. I highly doubt the finish 400+ places apart at the end of the season.

Chandler Simpson - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level. In his time in the majors, he hit .285 with 19 stolen bases in 35 games. Unfortunately, being a valuable fantasy player […]
Brady House - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]
Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]
Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A. The A's just got swept by the Angels, bringing their record to 26-44. While plays like Denzel Clarke's HR robbery can generate a spark for a team, the A's might need […]
Chase DeLauter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Chase DeLauter has been one of the most snake-bitten prospects in the minors. When he's on the field, he's shown tremendous upside, but he hasn't been on the field a lot. He didn't play at all in 2022 after getting drafted in the first round […]
Bubba Chandler - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Pirates' home schedule is not favorable with how Bubba Chandler lines up the next few weeks, and walking four batters on Wednesday and not getting out of the first inning also isn't doing him any favors. While his walk rate ballooned during the start, Chandler […]
Christian Moore - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: Now ANALYSIS: On Thursday evening, the Angels announced they were promoting their top-ranked prospect, infielder Christian Moore, to the major leagues. Moore was selected with the eighth pick in last year's draft out of Tennessee. Moore wasted little time making an impact as he made his Double-A debut […]
Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 11)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter should continue to be viewed as a top stash option. After recovering from Tommy John and missing the entirety of the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Painter has returned to the bump this season and is fast approaching his MLB […]
