Cesar Hernandez (2B, CLE) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 310 CURRENT ADP: ~336 overall ANALYSIS: Recently re-signing with the Indians will likely lead to Hernandez leading off every day for them yet again in 2021. The Indians aren’t typically shy about letting players run but Hernandez did not even attempt a stolen base in 2020. This was after stealing […]

Deeper League Sleepers at Third Base

Fantasy managers are always on the lookout for the sleeper that can turn into a breakout performer. I've already reviewed the best deep sleepers at second base, so now let's turn to third base. When defining a breakout, I look at it as a player that can take a step forward to a level they […]

Bobby Dalbec (1B, BOS) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

It is safe to say Bobby Dalbec surprised us all as he came up and smacked eight home runs in just 23 games. A prospect known for his power, the production isn't as much as a surprise as how quickly it clicked for him. But be mindful, this came with a 42.4% strikeout rate and […]

Josh Naylor (OF, CLE) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

People often forget that Josh Naylor was a first-round pick. He hasn't even been bad in the minors. His plate discipline has been a strength all throughout. He only struck out over 16.8% once as a minor leaguer and that was in his first run at Double-A. He posted a 20.6% strikeout rate that season. […]

Austin Hays (OF, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

Austin Hays continues to bait me in as he shows flashes of upside. The appeal for Hays is the power potential, mixed with a little bit of speed. He had stolen 11 bases as recently as 2019 when combining his three stops. In 2020, he was in the 76th percentile for sprint speed and had […]

Early-Round Fades and Overvalued Studs

Entering 2021, there is a bit of recency bias in the early ADP as well as an overall sense of unknown entering 2021 as a whole in terms of what rules are in place, where players are going to hit in the lineup or even where many players will play and how that could affect […]


Yasiel Puig: Ready to Rise in 2021

Yasiel Puig signed with the Atlanta Braves in 2020 but due to having COVID, the signing never went through and he never got his chance to play. Now we enter 2021 and we get to play this waiting game again as we hope to see him sign sooner rather than later. We tend to look […]
