NOTE: Our preseason Market Pulse column is an exercise in identifying the valuation gaps between the "popular" market (as reflected in Average Draft Position, or "ADP") and BaseballHQ.com. This is an exercise in relative valuation, not absolute. Each hitter is being considered at his scarcest qualified position (in order: C/DH, 2B, 1B, 3B, SS, OF), as it is the scarcest eligible position that typically drives fantasy value.

NOTE: This column focuses on injury analysis, so we don't cover the progress of every injured player. We try to highlight the key fantasy contributors, unusual injuries, or situations where the official projected return is variable or not given. Players whose progress is proceeding as expected are very well covered by fantasy news sources; we'll tend to leave those players alone unless we have something we want to add to the news coverage.

Hunter Greene (RHP, CIN) was a highly-regarded prospect who flashed at times as a rookie two years ago. Now, he’s having a breakout season, currently ranked as the #10 pitcher overall (based on 5x5 mixed) and the #8 starting pitcher, with $21 in Rotisserie value. Plus, the puns just write themselves: “We’re on the Hunter for a great SP” and “the other GMs in your league are Greene with envy.”Here, we’ll dig into his big breakout. Is it legit, or just a Greene-screen projection (sorry, we’ll stop)?
