BALLER MOVE: Target ~185
CURRENT ADP: ~212
ANALYSIS: While the numbers have not been pretty for Garrett Richards this spring, the number that matters the most stands out -- his velocity. Richards was able to get his fastball up to 98.8 mph in a spring game last week, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. While this is an encouraging sign for the young right-hander, Richards still has some work to do. Richards' 3.89 BB/9 ratio will need to come down more toward his 2013/2014 levels (2.72) for him to keep his ERA and WHIP down. He is healthy now, but the Angels will very likely have him on a tight inning count this season. Don't draft him expecting the breakout that many expected going into 2016, but as a late-round flyer, Richards could reward his owners quite handsomely.
