BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 125
CURRENT ADP: ~199
ANALYSIS: Jarren Duran is having a solid Spring training so far and continues to move up the draft boards, but is still being underdrafted according to our RotoBaller rankings.
Last season, he recorded eight home runs, 46 runs, and 40 RBI in 102 games while swiping 24 bases. He put those numbers up in just 332 at-bats. Duran's high on-base ability combined with 96th percentile sprint speed makes the 27-year-old an ideal target in fantasy for runs and stolen bases.
Both Ariel Cohen and Nick Mariano have Duren projected to increase his stolen base total from last season, while Nick is a bit more bullish on Duran increasing his HR total (18) than Ariel (13). Some additional power would be nice, but he should at least hit for average with a decent on-base percentage.
Kinda ridiculous how easily Jarren Duran made it to second on this play. pic.twitter.com/kk9roX7U3D

As long as Duran is healthy, he makes for an attractive fantasy option leading off for a potent Red Sox lineup. He's a high-upside pick so feel free to reach for him well ahead of his ADP of 199.
