Notes |
| $61-$75 |
1 |
Juan Soto |
OF |
8.10 |
Best of the best – no player I would rather have on my Ottoneu roster. |
| $50-$60 |
2 |
Mike Trout |
OF |
7.30 |
Yes, 2021 was short for Trout. It was also his best season ever by wOBA. |
| $50-$60 |
3 |
Ronald Acuña Jr. |
OF |
7.47 |
I am probably assuming too many games for him, but a delayed start to the season increases his value relative to Harper and others below him. |
| $50-$60 |
4 |
Bryce Harper |
OF |
6.98 |
He’s been less reliable than the others in this tier, but is capable of putting up an OF1 season at any time. |
| $35-$49 |
5 |
Aaron Judge |
OF |
6.73 |
His rookie season set unrealistic expecations, but he has been consistently excellent – if not AS excellent – since. |
| $35-$49 |
6 |
Yordan Alvarez |
OF |
6.61 |
Same comment as Judge, with less of a track record since; think he’s a better hitter than Judge, but less confident in a .390+ wOBA. |
| $35-$49 |
7 |
Kyle Tucker |
OF |
6.44 |
He had a breakout 2021, and that was despite a slow start – if you look at what he did after April, you can start to make a case for him moving up a tier. |
| $28-$34 |
8 |
Jesse Winker |
OF |
6.28 |
Only think separating him from the next tier up in playing time – he’ll give you just as good numbers in fewer games. |
| $28-$34 |
9 |
Giancarlo Stanton |
OF |
6.51 |
The middle of a tier where playing time really impacts value, but clearly the most productive of the three when he plays. |
| $28-$34 |
10 |
George Springer |
OF |
5.99 |
I have a hard time dropping him lower than this, but he needs to give you 140 games and I think there is some real risk in that. |
| $21-$27 |
11 |
Luis Robert |
OF |
6.08 |
He needs a full season producing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in the Judge-Alvarez-Tucker tier next year. |
| $21-$27 |
12 |
Kyle Schwarber |
1B/OF |
6.04 |
Broke out in the way we have all been expecting for years, but this projection doesn’t require repeating his 2021 – and you shouldn’t count on him repeating his 2021. |
| $21-$27 |
13 |
Josh Bell |
1B/OF |
6.00 |
Real gains in contact quality and plate discipline, with a chance for a further power breakout with more fly balls. |
| $21-$27 |
14 |
Bryan Reynolds |
OF |
5.90 |
Some real volatility in the profile, as his success has followed his BABIP, and he hasn’t really established consistently plate discipline baselines. |
| $21-$27 |
15 |
Byron Buxton |
OF |
5.94 |
Big jumps in his statcast data backup the 2021 breakout; this all comes down to risk tolerance, cause the upside is real high. |
| $21-$27 |
16 |
Joey Gallo |
OF |
5.86 |
I still believe his approach and Yankee Stadium are a match made in heaven, and there is upside far beyond this rank. |
| $21-$27 |
17 |
Tyler O’Neill |
OF |
5.77 |
If the projections can get over his strike out issues, I guess I can too? Maybe? |
| $21-$27 |
18 |
Franmil Reyes |
OF |
5.89 |
He’s never cracked 550 PA and (in related news) has never hit 40 HR. This year he does both. |
| $21-$27 |
19 |
Eloy Jiménez |
OF |
5.73 |
He’s never cracked 550 PA and (in related news) has never hit 40 HR. This year he does both. |
| $21-$27 |
20 |
Nick Castellanos |
OF |
5.64 |
Since the move to Cincinnati, he has a .418 wOBA at home and a .329 on the road – I have some real concerns about where he lands. |
| $16-$20 |
21 |
Jared Walsh |
1B/OF |
5.80 |
Had a 151 wRC+ through May, then just 89 through late August and I was already writing a note about how pitchers adjusted and he didn’t…and then he posted a 164 wRC+ the rest fo the way. |
| $16-$20 |
22 |
J.D. Martinez |
OF |
5.87 |
.364 wOBA on the year, but just .346 after April 11, .338 after June 1. I don’t think he is done, but I don’t think his full-season line is reflective of who he is. |
| $16-$20 |
23 |
Teoscar Hernández |
OF |
5.60 |
This is a bit of a bet that his BABIP’s the last two years are a reflection of how he hits rather than pure luck – his range of outcomes is pretty wide. |
| $16-$20 |
24 |
Christian Yelich |
OF |
5.85 |
His projected numbers look like a bounceback above and beyond his 2020, but I am not comfortable betting on that. |
| $16-$20 |
25 |
Cedric Mullins |
OF |
5.25 |
I think he is an interesting trade candidate right now because he likely costs something close to this tier, but someone probably values him much higher. |
| $16-$20 |
26 |
Cody Bellinger |
OF |
5.62 |
I like Bellinger to rebound more than I like Yelich to rebound, but the projection systems universally disagree, but I’m more likely to roster a $15-$17 Bellinger than an $18-$20 Yelich. |
| $16-$20 |
27 |
Brandon Nimmo |
OF |
5.57 |
I really should just become a Mets fan because I am pretty high on basically all of their bats. Nimmo’s OBP makes him a nice safe bet to not sink you even if he isn’t great. |
| $16-$20 |
28 |
Jorge Soler |
OF |
5.56 |
Don’t overreact to the awful start or the torrid finish. |
| $16-$20 |
29 |
Randy Arozarena |
OF |
5.44 |
If you play in a post-season only league, he might be the #1 OF. But otherwise, don’t let the post-season hype distract from a guy who is a very good, but not great, Ottoneu OF. |
| $16-$20 |
30 |
Starling Marte |
OF |
5.16 |
This ranking feels high to me, but I can’t see moving him below the guys under him, so here we are. |
| $10-$15 |
31 |
Marcell Ozuna |
OF |
5.57 |
Maybe not being stuck pretending to play OF will help him be even better. |
| $10-$15 |
32 |
Austin Meadows |
OF |
5.24 |
In like three years, we’re going to say, “I can’t believe anyone ever thought he [was/was not] a star!” and I am betting on the upside. |
| $10-$15 |
33 |
Mitch Haniger |
OF |
5.17 |
His comeback looked a lot like his 2018 breakout with some signs of decline – I expect he’ll repeat that, but worry the decline could continue. |
| $10-$15 |
34 |
Michael Conforto |
OF |
5.64 |
The power dried up and I am not sure a new park will be enough to reverse the current. |
| $10-$15 |
35 |
Trent Grisham |
OF |
5.21 |
Had a .384 wOBA before getting hurt and I get the sense he just never got himself back on track. Hard not to dream on what he could do. |
| $10-$15 |
36 |
Ian Happ |
OF |
5.49 |
Seemed to round back into form in the second half. |
| $10-$15 |
37 |
Alex Verdugo |
OF |
5.40 |
That high OBP is helpful but he needs more power to really stand out in this format. |
| $10-$15 |
38 |
Ryan Mountcastle |
1B/OF |
5.22 |
There may be no player more highly impacted by the new fence in Camden Yards than Mountcastle. |
| $10-$15 |
39 |
Michael Brantley |
OF |
5.38 |
Just keeps hitting, but the power is basically gone and, as with Verdugo, that lack of power really holds him back here. |
| $6-$9 |
40 |
Max Kepler |
OF |
5.24 |
Barrel rate went up without bringing his offense with it. Worth a gamble, but very good chance 2019 never comes back, in which case this will feel like an overpay. |
| $6-$9 |
41 |
Hunter Renfroe |
OF |
5.43 |
Was a top 30 OF last year by P/G (400+ PA), so this ranking is a bit low if you think he can repeat his 2021. |
| $6-$9 |
42 |
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. |
1B/OF |
5.36 |
Another bat whose overall line (.333 wOBA) hides how strong he was after May 1 (.366 wOBA). |
| $6-$9 |
43 |
AJ Pollock |
OF |
5.39 |
Between a part-time role and the fact that he didn’t become the capital-S Star we hoped, I think it has been lost just how good he has been the last two seasons. |
| $6-$9 |
44 |
Ramón Laureano |
OF |
5.08 |
He’ll miss time and may be an afterthought at auction, so if you can get him late and cheap, he could be a nice piece. |
| $6-$9 |
45 |
Charlie Blackmon |
OF |
5.46 |
I really want to be even lower on him but I can’t find numbers that strongly support a <$5 value. But I probably won’t roster him. |
| $6-$9 |
46 |
Alex Kirilloff |
1B/OF |
5.34 |
He might not earn out $6+ this year, but the long-term upside is as high as any OF. |
| $6-$9 |
47 |
Riley Greene |
OF |
5.31 |
If you want to flip Greene and Rodriguez, that is probably acceptable. |
| $6-$9 |
48 |
Julio Rodriguez |
OF |
N/A |
Maybe not as high as this guy, though. |
| $6-$9 |
49 |
Connor Joe |
1B/OF |
5.59 |
.321 wOBA on the road, .434 at home; .355 vs. RHP, .394 vs. LHP. You can start him 81 times at Coors and he’s useful against lefties on the road (.334 wOBA), too. |
| $6-$9 |
50 |
Andrew Vaughn |
1B/OF |
5.30 |
Forced to skip the high minors Vaughn was not great but also not terrible in his debut. Adjustment should show a bit more plate discipline and a lot more HR/FB, and that’s going to be exciting. |
| $6-$9 |
51 |
Jarred Kelenic |
OF |
4.77 |
Like Vaughn but without the skipped levels. |
| $6-$9 |
52 |
Avisaíl García |
OF |
5.19 |
Big step back in home park and his career has been so up and down, but I really like him if I can get him as a 5th or 6th OF. |
| $6-$9 |
53 |
Tommy Pham |
OF |
5.36 |
Projections are higher than me on him, but the last two years he has really struggled despite decent contact quality and plate discipline and I am hesitant to buy. |
| $6-$9 |
54 |
Andrew Benintendi |
OF |
5.10 |
The rare OF bat who could benefit from fewer FB – he doesn’t hit the ball that hard and will do more damage spraying line drives. |
| $6-$9 |
55 |
Adam Duvall |
OF |
4.86 |
The sub-.300 OBP makes him very risky, but there are so many HR in that bat; love him even more for OPL. |
| $6-$9 |
56 |
Joc Pederson |
OF |
5.06 |
After years as a platoon bat who couldn’t touch lefties, he has been nearly average against them the last two years – and been much worse vs. RHP. |
| $6-$9 |
57 |
Garrett Cooper |
1B/OF |
5.25 |
He won’t carry your OF, but he can put up solid numbers on a part-time basis as long as the Marlins keep him on the field. |
| $6-$9 |
58 |
Mark Canha |
OF |
4.98 |
His 2021 looks like a bit of a decline, but he was still solid vs. RHP and that is the only time you want to use him anyway. |
| $6-$9 |
59 |
Andrew McCutchen |
OF |
5.07 |
Still plugging away, and probably should be higher in this tier, but there is risk he falls off completely at any time. |
| $6-$9 |
60 |
Eddie Rosario |
OF |
5.25 |
Maybe the Guardians fan in me is over-indexing on his first half, but I just don’t think he’l be more than he has been the last couple years. |
| $6-$9 |
61 |
Dylan Carlson |
OF |
4.93 |
He figured some things out in the second half, with more hard contact driving a better ISO and I wonder if the full breakout is coming? |
| $6-$9 |
62 |
Willie Calhoun |
OF |
5.38 |
At this point, you are just gambling that he figures something out. |
| $3-$5 |
63 |
Jesús Sánchez |
OF |
5.33 |
He apparently brought down his K-rate in winter ball and while you can’t assume that will translate, it is certainly intriguing. |
| $3-$5 |
64 |
Jo Adell |
OF |
4.78 |
2021 was not good, but his much improved strike out rate is cause for optimism. |
| $3-$5 |
65 |
Mike Yastrzemski |
OF |
4.96 |
He emerged so late, we could already be into the decline phase, but a lot of his 2021 numbers (barrels, hard hit, plate discipline) look like his 2019-20, but he won’t get back that .370 BABIP. |
| $3-$5 |
66 |
Akil Baddoo |
OF |
4.67 |
As the season went on, he chased less and struck out less, and those kinds of adjustments are great to see. |
| $3-$5 |
67 |
Robbie Grossman |
OF |
4.94 |
His xstats look very consistent since 2020 and suggest his 2021 production could continue. |
| $3-$5 |
68 |
Austin Hays |
OF |
4.93 |
In Ottoneu, a lot of his value comes from power and the fence changes in Baltimore could hit him hard. |
| $3-$5 |
69 |
Darin Ruf 러프 |
1B/OF |
5.26 |
He’s so good against LHP, but when you are limited to being used against LHP, your value is capped. |
| $3-$5 |
70 |
LaMonte Wade Jr. |
1B/OF |
4.78 |
Showed signficant improvement in his batted ball quality; I’d love to have him as an option on my bench. |
| $3-$5 |
71 |
Brennen Davis |
OF |
5.19 |
He needs to show he can keep the K’s in check, and will likely get a nice long look in Triple-A to work on that. |
| $3-$5 |
72 |
Lane Thomas |
OF |
4.85 |
Very likely a short-side platoon, so roster him accordingly |
| $3-$5 |
73 |
Steven Kwan |
OF |
5.30 |
The numbers all look good, but some reports of weak contact might be enough cause to pump the breaks. |
| $3-$5 |
74 |
Raimel Tapia |
OF |
4.97 |
If he is leading off in Coors, he has some value. |
| $3-$5 |
75 |
George Valera |
OF |
N/A |
Would have him in the top 70 if I felt his debut were closer, but don’t think he will have an impact this year. |
| $3-$5 |
76 |
Alek Thomas |
OF |
4.89 |
Has already destroyed Triple-A and has nothing really in his way in Arizona. |
| $3-$5 |
77 |
Josh Lowe |
OF |
4.28 |
Could easily force his way into the lineup with a big start in Durham, but there isn’t an immediate opening. |
| $3-$5 |
78 |
Dominic Smith |
1B/OF |
4.78 |
His HR/FB rate dropped a ton, and while there are underlying reasons for that, it should bounceback quite a bit. |
| $3-$5 |
79 |
Jordan Luplow |
1B/OF |
5.05 |
Finally hit RHP last year and fell apart vs. LHP. Sorta like a small sample size reverse Pederson, in that regard. Worth a flyer as a short-side platoon with upside. |
| $3-$5 |
80 |
Gavin Sheets |
1B/OF |
5.21 |
Likely a platoon bat and maybe only a part-time platoon bat at that, but I think the 2021 production was mostly real – expect a small regression and limited PA. |
| $3-$5 |
81 |
Lars Nootbaar |
OF |
4.97 |
Busch can be a rough place to hit and he was great on the road; could be a nice part-time bat if he is getting regular PA. |
| $3-$5 |
82 |
Anthony Santander |
OF |
5.01 |
Has been on a steady pace of close to 30 HR per full season, but hasn’t managed a full season. |
| $1-$2 |
83 |
Trevor Larnach |
OF |
4.40 |
Has to bring up the contact rate, but double-digit walk rate and a 116 Max EV? I am not done with you yet. |
| $1-$2 |
84 |
Brandon Marsh |
OF |
4.26 |
Also has good statcast numbers, also striking out too much. |
| $1-$2 |
85 |
Yoshi Tsutsugo |
1B/OF |
4.97 |
Only 144 PA with Pittsburgh, but strikeouts came way down and barrel rate jumped; has the pedigree to keep it up. |
| $1-$2 |
86 |
Wil Myers |
OF |
4.80 |
I was very high on him after 2020 but he could not sustain the HR/FB rate and that season now looks like an outlier. |
| $1-$2 |
87 |
Adolis García |
OF |
4.19 |
Fell off hard after a torrid start, and I am not sure he can make enough contact to keep his job – but there are worse guys to gamble on. |
| $1-$2 |
88 |
Sam Hilliard |
OF |
4.81 |
I just can’t completely give up on that much power in that park, but he needs to make some changes to keep a job. |
| $1-$2 |
89 |
Cooper Hummel |
OF |
5.38 |
On base skills and enough power to be relevant if he gets reps for the DBacks. |
| $1-$2 |
90 |
Josh Naylor |
1B/OF |
5.37 |
He puts the ball in play and hits it hard. Was trending up when he suffered that brutal injury in 2021. |
| $1-$2 |
91 |
Zac Veen |
OF |
N/A |
There are other more highly rated prospects below him on this list, but his power is a carrying tool. |
| $1-$2 |
92 |
David Peralta |
OF |
5.01 |
The projections think he can bounceback after a rough 2021, but be ready to cut bait cause this could just be the end. |
| $1-$2 |
93 |
Aaron Hicks |
OF |
5.04 |
Looks likely to be the starting CF in New York, and if he is healthy, he could be an impact player. |
| $1-$2 |
94 |
Adam Engel |
OF |
4.12 |
Dramatically increased his contact rate the last two years and results have followed. |
| $1-$2 |
95 |
Myles Straw |
OF |
4.28 |
Not the most exciting for this format, but if he leads off and gets on base regularly, he’ll be useful. |
| $1-$2 |
96 |
Jarren Duran |
OF |
4.63 |
Plate discipline wasn’t an issue in the minors, so good reason to believe he can resolve that in the majors, but it might take some time. |
| $1-$2 |
97 |
Tyler Naquin |
OF |
4.82 |
Walks went up and HR/FB rate went up; the former is hard to explain cause he was no more patient; the latter could be park and that might stick. |
| $1-$2 |
98 |
Clint Frazier |
OF |
4.99 |
More than anything, just want to see him have a healthy season. |
| $1-$2 |
99 |
Kole Calhoun |
OF |
4.71 |
Power disappeared last year and if the barrels don’t come back, neither will his Ottoneu value. |
| $1-$2 |
100 |
Randal Grichuk |
OF |
4.97 |
The promise he showed in 2015 hasn’t materialized and he’s just fantasy filler at this point. |
| $1-$2 |
101 |
Harrison Bader |
OF |
4.91 |
The glove will keep him on the field and he has shown more offensively than I expected the last two years. |
| $1-$2 |
102 |
Kyle Lewis |
OF |
4.65 |
He’s a fine end-of-the-roster option, but if he gets hurt, move on. |
| $1-$2 |
103 |
Harold Ramirez |
OF |
5.23 |
He doesn’t strikeout and he hits the ball hard but it hasn’t added up to much, by wOBA or xwOBA. |
| $1-$2 |
104 |
Bryan De La Cruz |
OF |
4.60 |
Assuming he is starting, he is an interesting piece. His power took a major step last year and that changes his outlook. |
| $1-$2 |
105 |
Rafael Ortega |
OF |
4.65 |
Has been hitting Triple-A since 2015, but took until 2021 to figure out MLB. How much do you want to bet on a 30 year old breakout? |
| $1-$2 |
106 |
Pavin Smith |
1B/OF |
4.83 |
Doesn’t make loud enough contact for me to see much upside, which makes me think he could wind up on the bench with the other talent coming in Arizona. |
| $1-$2 |
107 |
Odúbel Herrera |
OF |
4.96 |
Showed some occasional flashes of something last year, but not worth more than a flyer. |
| $1-$2 |
108 |
Aristides Aquino |
OF |
4.93 |
The last two years have not been good, but it’s no larger a sample size than his impressive debut. |

Edward Olivares |

The Royals will eventually give him a consistent shot, right? |

The numbers are impressive, the scouting reports are glowing, and the Dodgers player development is elite. |
| $1-$2 |

Heliot Ramos |

The hype was strong a year ago, but now has 601 high minors plate appearances and they have not been impressive. |
| $1-$2 |
113 |
JJ Bleday |
OF |
3.50 |
Real power with a strong enough hit tool to realize that power. |
| $1-$2 |
114 |
TJ Friedl |
OF |
4.88 |
If he’s the starting CF in that ballpark, he is worth at least a look, perhaps as a solid strong-side platoon guy. |
| $1-$2 |

Yadiel Hernandez |
OF |
4.87 |
If he has a job, his power is worth a flyer. |
| $0 |
116 |
Austin Slater |
OF |
4.70 |
Dude crushes lefties, so if you have room for a lefty-masher at the end of your OF, I could see bumping him to the $1 tier. |
| $0 |
117 |
Matt Vierling |
1B/OF |
5.01 |
Wait and see if he lands a starting gig. He hit well in a SSS in MLB, but otherwise he’s looked pedestrian except for the Reading launching pad. |

Taylor Ward |

5.66 |
He is just hoping to be the fourth OF behind Adell, Marsh and Trout. |

Tyrone Taylor |

Probably next-in-line in Milwaukee, but could get a boost from the DH. |

Colton Cowser |

He’s still far away but some reason to believe he could move fast and the hit tool is star-making. |

If Muncy is out and they add DH, he could be useful for a bit. |

D.J. Stewart |

He needs the power to play up and for all the RH OF bats ahead of him to fail miserably thanks to the new fences. |

123 |
Franchy Cordero |
1B/OF |

Someone will probably bet on a breakout from him, but it won’t be me (until he starts breaking out and I get sucked back in). |

Michael Harris |

Has been more good than great and while the reports are strong, he hasn’t even faced the high-minors yet. |

125 |
Manuel Margot |

4.88 |
Basically has to lead off to have value and think he’s more likely to lose his job than to lead off. |

Lorenzo Cain |

He’s 35, in clear decline, likely to hit at the end of the lineup and likely to miss some time. |

Nomar Mazara |

On the one hand, the Padres are an exciting team with a lot of talent. On the other, right now it sorta looks like Mazara might be in their lineup. |

Ryan Vilade |
OF |
4.46 |
There is some interesting upside and thanks to some swing changes, the projections might be low on him. |
| $0 |
130 |
Justin Upton |
OF |
4.86 |
Some of the projections have some optimism, but we are on three years of a barely-over-.300 wOBA. |
| $0 |
131 |
Joey Wiemer |
OF |
N/A |
Appears to be a launch angle success story already. |
| $0 |
132 |
Robert Hassell lll |
OF |
N/A |
I don’t usually like prospects who are so far away, but the upside is high enough here to take a look. |
| $0 |
133 |
Seth Brown |
OF |
4.43 |
Ooooo he projects for 20-25 HR in a part-time role? That’s pretty f…wait. With that OBP?? |
| $0 |
134 |
Alex Dickerson |
OF |
5.35 |
Jumps up to near the middle of the $1 tier if he gets a job with regular PA. |
| $0 |
135 |
Khalil Lee |
OF |
4.80 |
He needs to find a path into the lineup and he needs to show he can hit, and until he does one of the two, I am going to sit this one out. |
| $0 |
136 |
Corey Dickerson |
OF |
4.76 |
Has only been okay recently and not sure he lands in a good enough spot to matter. |
| $0 |
137 |
Brent Rooker |
OF |
4.83 |
If Kirilloff or Larnach flame out, he could get another shot. |
| $0 |
138 |
Yonathan Daza |
OF |
4.40 |
I know it’s Coors but I just don’t see enough in the profile to get excited about. |
| $0 |
139 |
Chas McCormick |
OF |
4.21 |
He showed some solid plate discipline in the minors so maybe there is hope that shows up for the Astros? |
| $0 |
140 |
Victor Reyes |
OF |
4.29 |
Too much needs to go right – he needs to K less, hit for a high BABIP, and bring up his HR/FB rate. He can do that, but it’s not a good bet. |
| $0 |
141 |
Victor Robles |
OF |
4.37 |
In 5×5, sure you could gamble on him finding his swing. |
| $0 |
142 |
Estevan Florial |
OF |
4.34 |
Don’t let the gaudy rates in Double-A and MLB distract you from his only meaningful sample last year, which was Triple-A and unimpressive. |
| $0 |
143 |
Kevin Kiermaier |
OF |
4.04 |
He’s on the field for his defense. |
| $0 |
144 |
Brett Phillips |
OF |
4.01 |
He’s off the field cause of Kiermaier’s defense (but also may not hit enough to be useful here). |
| $0 |
145 |
Miguel Andújar |
OF |
5.48 |
I didn’t love the skilset when he was performing. |
| $0 |
146 |
Jason Heyward |
OF |
4.65 |
I am not sure the defense is still good enough to guarantee him PA and the bat isn’t exciting except as depth. |
| $0 |
147 |
Kyle Garlick |
OF |
N/A |
There is some talent here, but too much stands between him and relevance. |
| $0 |
148 |
Mickey Moniak |
OF |
4.21 |
2021 was encouraging but the upside here is no longer “tapping into his elite draft pedigree” and is more “maybe he can be solid bench bat.” |
| $0 |
149 |
Jake Meyers |
OF |
4.50 |
Was only sorta interesting when he looked like he might be a regular, but he won’t be ready for Opening Day. |
| $0 |
150 |
Jasson Dominguez |
OF |
N/A |
He’s been at most moderately impressive and he is still far away; if you get him to trade his name, that might work if he hits. |
| $0 |
151 |
Garrett Mitchell |
OF |
N/A |
Just no pop at all. |
| $0 |
152 |
Hedbert Perez |
OF |
N/A |
Has the pop, but not the ability to put the bat to the ball consistently. |
| $0 |
153 |
Bradley Zimmer |
OF |
4.04 |
Mix a dash of decreased whiffs, a pinch of elevating the ball, and his existing skills, and you have a kinda fun player! |
| $0 |
154 |
Jackie Bradley Jr. |
OF |
3.88 |
Maybe being back in Boston can help him find his swing. |
| $0 |
155 |
Drew Waters |
OF |
4.21 |
He’s got to stop the strikeouts and tap into his power – if he shows that at Triple-A, I might get interested. |
| $0 |
156 |
David Dahl |
OF |
4.20 |
Have to wonder what could have been. |
| $0 |
157 |
Leody Taveras |
OF |
4.14 |
Even if he breaks out, it is unlikely to make him a factor in this format. |
| $0 |
158 |
Taylor Trammell |
OF |
3.96 |
Expect he’ll be on the outside looking in on the Mariners soon. |
| $0 |
159 |
Jake Fraley |
OF |
4.50 |
Got intensely patient last year and stopped chasing (or really swinging) and walked a ton as a result, so maybe he could be sneaky useful? |
| $0 |
160 |
Luke Raley |
OF |
5.02 |
Just don’t see where the playing time comes from. |
| $0 |
161 |
Cristian Pache |
OF |
3.98 |
NL DH might help him stay on the field by getting Ozuna off it, but he’s still just a watch-and-see guy. |
| $0 |
162 |
Jose Siri |
OF |
4.32 |
2021 was high BABIP inflated but could be worth watching to see what he can do, if given time. |
| $0 |
163 |
Oscar Mercado |
OF |
4.33 |
The Clevelander in me would love to believe, but…I don’t. |
| $0 |
164 |
Michael A. Taylor |
OF |
4.18 |
He’s only on this list because he is likely a starting OF for an MLB team so he should be on this list. |
| $0 |
165 |
Travis Demeritte |
OF |
4.49 |
Has crushed Triple-A but needs to show he can hit at all in MLB before I take a shot on him, |
| $0 |
166 |
Daz Cameron |
OF |
4.50 |
Probably too late, especially with Riley Greene coming. |
| $0 |
167 |
Luis Matos |
OF |
N/A |
Looks like a pure CF/speed type that plays up in fantasy but down in this format, but watch for a power breakout. |
| $0 |
168 |
Shogo Akiyama |
OF |
4.59 |
Just can’t see a breakout coming. |
| $0 |

Jairo Pomares |

Showed some legit power in 2021 and worth keeping an eye on. |

Everson Pereira |
OF |

Time to see what he can do against stiffer competition |
