While it may seem obvious that a lot of value can be found in the first 50 picks of your fantasy draft, some players are still more valuable than others based on the context of where they are being selected. After ranking the top players at each position earlier in the offseason, I’ve decided to switch my focus to ADP. And when it comes to ADP, value is the single most important thing you should be looking for.

By Joe Rowan via Just Baseball, You might be reading this and wondering why teams would even bother signing a guy like Paul DeJong. He is an aging veteran who has never been very flashy or exciting throughout his career. Well, how often do we hear about a lack of depth in a lineup or weak defensive skills down the stretch affecting a division race or postseason series? Remember how that exact issue came up in last year's World Series?

Well, how often do we hear about a lack of depth in a lineup or weak defensive skills down the stretch affecting a division race or postseason series? Remember how that exact issue came up in last year’s World Series? A horrendous year produced by the Chicago White Sox was the reality we lived in last season.

After ranking the top players at each position earlier in the offseason, I’ve decided to switch my focus to ADP. And when it comes to ADP, value is the single most important thing you should be looking for. I’ll be the first to say it: This isn’t a sleepers list, nor a busts list. This is about identifying which guys are lower than they should be according to the National Fantasy Baseball Championship rankings. For this fifth set of players, I will be selecting six players from spots 100-50.

After ranking the top players at each position last month, I’ve decided to make December the month for ADP. And when it comes to ADP, value is the single most important thing you should be looking for. I’ll be the first to say it: This isn’t a sleepers list, nor a busts list. This is about identifying which guys are lower than they should be according to the National Fantasy Baseball Championship rankings. For this final set of players, I will be selecting seven players from spots 200-150.

One of the few bright spots for the decimated 2024 Atlanta Braves was their starting pitchers. Whether it was Chris Sale delivering a Cy Young-winning campaign, Reynaldo López delivering a sub-2.00 ERA, or Spencer Schwellenbach looking filthy down the stretch, their rotation was stacked. More impressive than performance was their durability. Even old man Uncle Charlie Morton gave them 165.1 innings of work, an aspect of the game that often goes unnoticed.

It’s very uncommon for a team to win a World Series and own the fourth pick in the MLB Draft all in the same year. Because of new league rules and tanking stipulations, the Texas Rangers were able to select Wyatt Langford just three months before raising the Commissioner’s Trophy. Interestingly enough, the Tigers owned the third pick in the 2023 draft. Whatever your opinion on Detroit, I’m gonna keep it easy for you here; this was a big miss. Max Clark has potential and there’s no doubt about that.

Some fantasy managers think of that strategy as clogging a spot in which they could use any player. But the reality is that in 10 or 12-team leagues, the utility spot underproduces. Too many options on the waiver wire often lead to questionable adds and drops, as managers ride out the performance of a player who was hot last week yet ice-cold the next.
