Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers & Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~82 CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: A fairly obvious candidate for this list, but his ADP is still too way too high compared to the value expected. I had Lamb 16th among third basemen in our 2016 preseason rankings, higher than any of the half-dozen colleagues who participated. His solid minor league performances were […]

Early ADP Values for Fantasy Baseball: Catchers

The demand for catchers at the draft table varies quite a bit on league format, most specifically whether it is a one- or two-catcher league. One thing that doesn’t change, however, is that relative to other hitting positions, elite catchers stay on the draft board longer than any other position. Today I'm here to take […]

Travis Jankowski (OF, SD) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~260 CURRENT ADP: 288 ANALYSIS: Travis Jankowski has taken advantage of the lack of surrounding talent in San Diego.

Keon Broxton (OF, MIL) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: 227 ANALYSIS: Keon Broxton joined the Brewers in the second half of 2016 and was an instant spark plug. In 244 at-bats, he produced 36 steals with a .354 OBP.

With the importance of advanced statistics in baseball, one of the traditional stats still carries a lot of weight.
