Im taking the gamble before the price jumps. For this reason, I am shocked that his early ADP is 668. $9, Max Kepler, MIN Lifetime .232 hitter, and .220 the past three years. It will surge into the low-100s and possibly even the Top 100 if he tears up the Grapefruit League and wins a roster spot before draft season is over. Jackson Chourio | OF, MIL | 728 ADP Chourio is essentially the Eury Prez of hitters in that he probably wont make a fantasy impact in 2023, but he is so good that I have to give him a mention just in case. Therefore, I want no part of Straw in an AL league. A markup of just a couple rounds makes him not such a discount anymore, but even so, it's probably worth hanging onto a pitcher with top-five potential given how few true aces are likely to be available in your draft. Get ahead of him with a breaking ball and hes basically back in the dugout. Capel was a decent prospect as a fifth-rounder out of high school in 2016, a slow developer but his progress is evident. But I still dont see it. Nothing spectacular here but hes an all-around ballplayer, from a major league family (son of 15-year journeyman Mark Guthrie).

Corbin Carroll, ARI The hype train is rolling, hardly a surprise given his abbondanza five-cat potential, but once his ADP rises higher than about 75, its too high for me. Hed be worth several dollars with a change of scenery. His strikeouts improved considerably, from 32.4% to 25.8%, but thats still way too many for a burner. I do know that he bats behind a whole lot of OBP. He still strikes out too much and has trouble with slow stuff, so figure hell see more. $8, Manuel Margot, TB I guess the 20/30 season could still happen at age 28. Bad year and now 33, so please be careful. I cant stop thinking of him as a lefty. Hes just the type the Guardians like more speed than power at this time, he showed high contact that translated to the majors. I guess Ill take him as my OF5, but would prefer Meadows as a reserve pick. $8. PFA, Adam Engel, SD No good reason to bid a buck, as someone else probably will and then drop him, so FAB him if someone gets hurt in your outfield and you need a few steals. It is expected that that management will come via shortened starts as opposed to a full-on shutdown late in the season. $5, Michael A. Taylor, MIN I dont care, on a good team hes a defensive replacement. But come to think of it, even teams that churn players in-game are limited in how much they can do it. Those are small edges that can be overcome, but I just dont see how Volpe doesnt get some more Triple-A time after struggling there in his 99 plate appearances last year (91 wRC+, 30% K rate). Walker is a victim of recency bias, as he had a pretty . On pure talent, only Rodriguez tops him and even then, its close.

To bid him as an average producer is decidedly optimistic. Royce Lewis | SS, MIN | 456 ADP A re-torn ACL will delay the start to his 2023, but he is expected to fill a super-utility role with infield and outfield capability while being a power/speed asset. If that gets him fine, if it doesnt, which it probably wont, thats also fine. SkidMarkz's Batters roster for 2022-10-05. He has three plus pitches that generate plenty of punchouts, with a 31% K rate in his 230 minor league innings and 28% during his 20-inning big league debut last year. It will just be limited. I do worry about his BA with all the swings and misses, and without improvement I cap him at last years .284. Perazas major league-ready glove at a premium position will give his bat some leeway and he shouldnt face much pressure from Volpe until later in the year, if at all. The more I try to explain it, the deeper we sink into this quagmire, so let's just get on with the list. That would be good enough on most teams but the Cardinals may disagree and they are loaded anyway so loaded that a trade or even two is likely. After 126 innings between Triple-A and and the majors last year, Brown could handle a full six-month workload in the rotation, netting 155-165 innings using a +25-30% workload increase. $20.

His draft price has dropped over the winter, likely due to that RosterResource placement as well as the re-signing of Drew Smyly, though itll head right back up if hes confirmed in the fifth starter role before Opening Day. Keep tabs on him as a potential in-season pick-up, though. He should bounce back in BABIP, as is his wont. Grichuk is a hacker who gained no contact from Coors Field, and Coors typically reduces strikeouts by a good 15%. I've then converted that ADP into a round number (presuming a 12-team league) and determined how eager I am to keep that player relative to that round.

Victor Robles, WAS The strikeouts keep blocking access to his talents. $15, Lourdes Gurriel, ARI Continues to get no respect.

Neither of these two are on the 40-man roster, which currently leaves them behind Honorable Mentions Ryan Pepiot (great stuff, poor command) and Michael Grove (lesser stuff than Pepiot and command issues of his own), both of whom debuted last year, though one or both could establish themselves in the bullpen if veterans Jimmy Nelson and Shelby Miller continue to battle health issues. The latter almost works against him for 2023, though, as hes buried on the list of candidates right now and still must figure out his changeup. Reserve A, Peyton Burdick, MIA I wonder if soon well be calling these Three True Outcome hitters old school. A moot question until Burdick cuts his Ks. Renfroe definitely, if not extremely, fits the profile, but while I expected a slump season or more accurately, an extra period or a longer period of slump thats not what happened.

He's lived up to his high ranking on this list year after year and should continue to do so even as he enters his 30s, making across-the-board contributions at one of the most critical positions to fill early. He probably DHs against lefties and fills in for injuries in the outfield. If he keeps raking in Triple-A, he can force his way up and they will find a spot for him. Not a guy you want to hang your season on, but worth a shot somewhere. Ten games at first base.
