Anthony Rizzo (1B, NYY) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 140 CURRENT ADP: ~150 overall ANALYSIS: We did see some news this spring that Rizzo has some back issues that he does not expect to ever go away, so that is concerning. However, it's not a new thing necessarily, and he seems confident that he can play through it. Assuming... Read More

Spring Training Standouts To Consider Drafting for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

We have to be extremely, extremely careful when making judgments based on Spring training data. Every single year, you will see plenty of players dominate in spring and then end up being complete duds in the regular season, and vice-versa. That makes it tough to genuinely and honestly write a piece like this, so I... Read More

Clarke Schmidt (SP, NYY) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 350 CURRENT ADP: ~380 overall ANALYSIS: Two months ago, Schmidt was on nobody's radar because he was several steps away from getting a job in the Major League rotation. Since then, Frankie Montas and Carlos Rodon have hit the IL, opening up two spots in the Yankees rotation. The team's lack of depth... Read More

Matthew Boyd (SP, DET) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 375 CURRENT ADP: ~395 overall ANALYSIS: It's been a turbulent couple of years for Boyd. He threw just 78.2 innings in 2021 and 13.1 last year all due to injury. He appears to be healthy again and has a job in the Tigers rotation, and he's looked really great this... Read More

Darick Hall (UT, PHI) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 370 CURRENT ADP: ~490 overall ANALYSIS: In 142 plate appearances in the Majors last year, Hall hit nine homers and pulled off an elite 11.3% Brl/PA (17.4% Brl%). Sure, the strikeout rate was high (31%) and the walk rate was infinitesimal (3.5%), but you can deal with that when you're... Read More

Reid Detmers (SP, LAA) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 190 CURRENT ADP: ~205 overall ANALYSIS: We saw flashes of greatness from Detmers last season. He threw a no-hitter early on in the year and had a fantastic run of eight starts in the middle of the year (33% K%, 10% BB%, .212 AVG allowed). He remodeled his slider in... Read More

Nick Gordon (2B/OF, MIN) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 300 CURRENT ADP: ~320 overall ANALYSIS: The Twins have been active this offseason, which has thrown Gordon's playing time into question at times. He's currently still holding on to the DH job, according to Roster Resource, and that assumes that Alex Kirilloff is healthy and Joey Gallo is able to keep a job as... Read More

Whit Merrifield (2B/OF, TOR) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 175 CURRENT ADP: ~190 overall ANALYSIS: I think a lot of drafters just view Merrifield as a guy at the end of his rope. He's 34 now and had his first bad fantasy season in 2022 when he played 139 games, hit 11 homers, stole 16 bases, and hit just... Read More
