Tommy La Stella (1B/2B/3B, SF) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 290 CURRENT ADP: ~306 overall ANALYSIS: Finally signing with the San Francisco Giants, La Stella should play just about every day and hit atop the Giants Lineup.

Jared Walsh burst onto the Minor League scene in 2019 after hitting 36 homers in 98 games and received a call up to the Angels. Prior to that, Walsh had 49 homers in 361 Minor League games so his power outburst came as a surprise. Walsh didn't have a great start to his MLB career […]

Tarik Skubal (SP, DET) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 275 CURRENT ADP: ~295 overall ANALYSIS: Tarik Skubal was not even the most highly touted young pitcher on his own team last year, as he was often overlooked for Casey Mize.

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 400 CURRENT ADP: ~617 overall ANALYSIS:  Rojas has had trouble getting regular playing time with the DBacks, but that may be changing for 2021.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton has spent the vast majority of his career batting near the top of the lineup, and that isn't looking as if it'll change in 2021.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young finished with 23 points, six rebounds, and nine assists in 25 minutes during Thursday's win over the Thunder.
