too good

Is everybody there Jason?

everyone is present and accounted for. Feldman made it just in time

The NL Only #toutwars is stacked with some of the best in the #fantasybaseball industry. Crazy deep roster.

Jason Collette: 

We will begin at 10:15 and I guarantee 2 things: Kershaw is thrown out in the 1st two players and he goes at least $42

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:08 Jason Collette
10:08
[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

Bold prediction: Harper goes for $45.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:08 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

I honestly think that is his price floor

[Comment From JoshJosh: ] 

I cut Greinke loose for $29 in my NL only keeper. Dumb??

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:14 Josh
 
Jason Collette: 

depending on your inflation rate its defendable to um, why?

  Jason Collette
10:17
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

to Josh: could have traded Greinke at $29 for something useful?

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:17 Doug Dennis
10:18
[Comment From JoshJosh: ] 

Could only keep six and he seemed least valuable. Really disliked his move to Arizona. Where do you think he’s going today?

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:18 Josh
 
Jason Collette: 

I think he’s $27

  Jason Collette
10:18
Jason Collette: 

we’re underway & Anthony Rizzo is first off the board for $38 to Grey Albright from Razzball

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:18 Jason Collette
10:19
Jason Collette: 

Carty predictably throws out Kershaw who was never going for $38 again as he did in NL LABR. Carty had to pay $3 more to get him this time at $41

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:19 Jason Collette
10:19
[Comment From Tim McLeodTim McLeod: ] 

Park at $21, yesterday. Who pushed him that high, Jason. His value just continues onward and upward, eh?

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:19 Tim McLeod
 
Jason Collette: 

one of the many bidding wars between Erickson & myself

  Jason Collette
10:19
Jason Collette: 

Stanton goes $39 after opening at $33

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:19 Jason Collette
10:20
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

Carty is to Kershaw what Colton is to Cano.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:20 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

and Dusty Baker sac bunting in the 1st

  Jason Collette
10:20
Jason Collette: 

Kyle Schwarber goes for $26

Please mention acquiring team, Jason

Jason Collette: 

good point…can’t assume everyone tracking on the sheet

  Jason Collette

Jason Collette: 

Jay Bruce goes $18 to Hertz

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:22 Jason Collette
10:23
Jason Collette: 

Raisel Iglesias $13 to Tristan. Had that one penciled in. Exactly what he went for in LABR. I’ll be comparing pitching values since they’re consistent but not bats because of the OBP difference

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:23 Jason Collette
10:24
Jason Collette: 

Pollock goes $31 to his lordship

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:24 Jason Collette
10:24
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

Iglesias was a GREAT buy.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:24 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

I think when Iglesias makes the HOF, Eno Sarris gives his inception speech

  Jason Collette
10:24
Jason Collette: 

Goldschmidt goes to Gardner for $43. No chance Harper goes under $45 now

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:24 Jason Collette
10:25
Jason Collette: 

Lenny Melnick throwing out closers as he always does but one year, he may actually buy one. Zola buys Jansen for $19

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:25 Jason Collette
10:25
[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

Tristan is always tough

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:25 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

indeed he is

  Jason Collette
10:26
Jason Collette: 

Rosenthal $17 to Tristan. Both TR & KJ went $1 under their LABR prices

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:26 Jason Collette
10:26
Assume Goldy’s price tag directly influences Bryce Harper. Harper will have to go 43+ I’d assume. #toutwars
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:26 dan Strafford
 
Jason Collette: 

calling $47

  Jason Collette
10:26
Jason Collette: 

Harvey $26 to Guilfoyle , $1 higher than LAB R

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:26 Jason Collette

KKKKris Bryant goes $35 to Wilderman

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:27 Jason Collette

[Comment From Tim McLeodTim McLeod: ] 

I’ll go to $48 on Harper.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:28 Tim McLeod
10:28
Jason Collette: 

Strasburg $29 to Hertz – was $27 in LABR

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:28 Jason Collette
10:28
Jason Collette: 

Arenado $33 to Behrens

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:28 Jason Collette

I’ll go to $48 on Harper.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:29 Tim McLeod
 
Jason Collette: 

Harvey
deGrom
Syndergaard
Matz

I’ve said a few times I’m worried about Syndergaard this year after big workload spike

  Jason Collette
10:30
Jason Collette: 

so Harper only went $45 to Behrens. Great call Mike L!

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:30 Jason Collette

Dee Gordon $30 to Razzball

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:30 Jason Collette
10:31
Arenado v Bryant will be a fun price comparison to follow all year in NL-Only leagues. #ToutWars Arenado goes for 2 less here.
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:31 dan Strafford
10:31
$35 for Bryant in NL #ToutWars is higher than I expected given the K rate.
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:31 William Baker
10:31
Jason Collette: 

Addison Russell — not a sleeper and not in a shallow SS NL pool, goes $19 to Tristan

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:31 Jason Collette
10:32
Jason Collette: 

staying on the SS run, Seager comes out at a dollar and sloooooooooooooowly climbs up to $23 to Gardner. Tristan pushed him up to $19 to nearly double up on the young MI pair

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:32 Jason Collette
10:33
[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

Arenado has a chance to be this year’s Bryce Harper next year… fabulous buy at $33

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:33 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

It’s nice when a guy reaches the potential in a hurry as he has

  Jason Collette
10:33
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

wow Dee Gordon, $30. That would have made my LABR auction.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:33 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

and still left you with $210 more for your offense

  Jason Collette
10:33
Jason Collette: 

McCutcheon goes $37 to Hertz

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:33 Jason Collette
10:34

What did Gordon go for in LABR?

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:34 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

$35

  Jason Collette
10:34
Jason Collette: 

Hector Olivera $12 to Lenny

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:34 Jason Collette
10:34
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

$230 just doesn’t go as far as it once did. sigh.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:34 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

I saw where Moyer was going early in AL yesterday so I bought the pitching he wasn’t & we will certainly be trading

  Jason Collette
10:35
Jason Collette: 

Matt Carpenter $29 to Walton. That’s one you could have etched in stone

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:35 Jason Collette
10:35
Jason Collette: 

Mr March Maikel Franco goes $23 to Razzball

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:35 Jason Collette
10:36
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

Moyer went a little nutzo yesterday, I thought.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:36 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

but I loved a lot of his $1 pitchers because he decimated my reserve list. Really wanted Cecil and May

  Jason Collette
10:36
[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

Good buy, Lenny

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:36 Mike L.
10:36
[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

THAT is a great buy…. big fropoff after Franco

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:36 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

yea, we’re running out of talent

  Jason Collette
10:36
Jason Collette: 

Heyward $29 to Carty

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:36 Jason Collette
10:37
Jason Collette: 

deGrom $25 to Walton – same price as LABR

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:37 Jason Collette
10:37
[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

early days, but Grey A., very nice start–very very nice.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:37 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

not bad for a rookie performance. I remember my first year here. I had bought 7 players early & then realized I couldn’t buy everyone I liked

  Jason Collette
10:38
Jason Collette: 

Syndergaard $24 to Hertz – also same price in LABR

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:38 Jason Collette
10:38
[Comment From PendyPendy: ] 

I just realized how weak 3B is in the AL.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:38 Pendy
 
Jason Collette: 

yep, either get in early or go cheap & buy 2 1B

  Jason Collette
10:38
Jason Collette: 

Puig $27 to Tristan. I guess cat had Lenny’s tongue

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:38 Jason Collette
10:39
[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

Yes, but he has to cool it for a while…. runs the risk of having a studs and duds roster

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:39 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

like me in year one – but I had a duds and scrubs roster 🙂

  Jason Collette
10:39

depends on you offense budget! 🙂

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:39 Doug Dennis

Jason Collette: 

Pence $21 to Wilderman

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:39 Jason Collette
10:40
Jason Collette: 

Grichuck went $19 to Gardner as Walton dropped out at $18.

10:40
[Comment From Tim McLeodTim McLeod: ] 

Mike G still waiting…

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:40 Tim McLeod
 
Jason Collette: 

he did a lot of this last year & then ran the middle of the draft from what I recall

  Jason Collette
10:40
Jason Collette: 

Piscotty goes $1 cheaper than Grichuck to Tristan

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:40 Jason Collette

Solar does not eclipse a $13 price and ends up with Guilfoyle

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:41 Jason Collette

Soler…dammit, screwed up the joke

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:42 Jason Collette

Joey Votto and his tight pants goes $39 to Zola

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:42 Jason Collette
10:42
LOVE Maikel Franco at 23 dollars. #toutwars
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:42 dan Strafford
10:42
I think the meal picked at Foley’s should go to the owners in NL #ToutWars brave enough to roster a Colorado starter.
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:42 Jeff Zimmerman
10:42
I wonder if Franco’s hot spring inflated his price some, but at $23, id do it. Dude can rake. #ToutWars
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:42 Jason Ferrie
 
Jason Collette: 

more of a talent pool issue

  Jason Collette

Maikel definitely the buy of the auction thus far… I think we’ll see some real eye openers in the later rounds

Jason Collette: 

we’re having fun for a Sunday morning so far!

Pollack seems like the big ticket bargain so far

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:45 Scott Gilroy

[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

I’ve touted Bour this year

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:46 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

he was the reason the Marlins let Canha walk in the Rule Five draft

  Jason Collette
10:47

Blackmon $31 to Guilfoyle. Topped Gianella’s $30

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:47 Jason Collette
10:47
Jason Collette: 

Defending champ still hasn’t purchased a player but he’s been active in a lot of the latest bids. Let Billy Hamilton go $22 to Carty and dropped out at $20

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:47 Jason Collette
10:48
Justin Bour at $17 is too high for me. Can’t understand people’s love for him. #ToutWars
Sunday March 20, 2016 10:48 Justin Mason
10:48
As great as I believe Starling Marte is, I’d rather have Pollock at $31 than Marte at $35. #toutwars

At $17, a bit steep for Bour. I was looking him to go in the 13-15 range

Jason Collette: 

agreed

[Comment From Doug DennisDoug Dennis: ] 

I think the aggressive bidding is working to Mike Gianella’s advantage. I would have bid up Gordon and M.Franco (so far).

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:50 Doug Dennis
 
Jason Collette: 

He’ll certainly control phase 2 of this auction but it teetering the line of the top level talent being gone

  Jason Collette

Jason Collette: 

$9 for Nola as Gianella finally gets on board

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:50 Jason Collette
10:51
Jason Collette: 

Villar goes $16 to Wilderman — if he were still in the AL, he goes for much less than that. That is what increased playing time can do for a guy’s value!

Did he just show up?

[Comment From Mike L.Mike L.: ] 

Villar is a real crapshoot. How long will they keep Arcia in the minors?? He should handcuff him.

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:54 Mike L.
 
Jason Collette: 

agreed. He isn’t much of a hitter at all & it’s slash & dash city but Milwaukee will let him play as much as he wants until that Super 2 date goes by

Jason Collette: 

Familia goes $17 to Gianell — he was $15 in LABR. Mike now has rostered 2 closers at $17 in a league where there are a LOT of question marks at closer

Sunday March 20, 2016 10:57 Jason Collette
10:57
hate me for it, but I’d rather Hunter Pence over Yasiel Puig. Maybe it’s a bias of mine, but I’m ok with that. #toutwars

Jason Collette: 

one of my NL predictions:

Sergio Romo once again saves 20-plus games. Romo had the closer role in 2013 and 2014 but lost it to Santiago Casilla and didn’t get it back in 2015. That should change in 2015 as Romo bounced back last season to show excellent skills in the pen — even better than what the kid Hunter Strickland did.

PLAYER TBF K-BB% K% BB% FB% HR/FB% Z-CONTACT% SwStr% F-STRIKE%
Santiago Casilla 244 16 25 9 30 13 89 10 57
Sergio Romo 230 27 31 4 32 7 76 17 70
Hunter Strickland 191 21 26 5 40 8 78 14 65

Casilla only needs to slip up for Bruce Bochy to go back to his known-known in the bullpen and let the skills roar.

Jason Collette: 

another NL prediction from me:

Wei-Yin Chen is a top-20 starting pitcher in the NL by season’s end. He is 29th in NL-Only leagues by ADP and is going just a few spots behind Kenta Maeda, who has never thrown a major league pitch. What I like about Chen is that he’s moving from a park that inflated home runs by 12 percent to one that has suppressed them by 27 percent. Yes, the Marlins are moving in the fences a little bit, but this is still a tremendous improvement in home park for Chen. Additionally, Chen will get to pitch against the rebuilding Braves and Phillies with the unbalanced schedule. The long ball has always been a problem for him as his HR/9 was at least 1.1 in each of the four seasons in Baltimore, his ERA never below 3.34. That should change in 2016 with the change in parks, and he’ll get the bump in strikeouts going to the National League as well.

Sunday March 20, 2016 11:52 Jason Collette
11:52
Jason Collette: 

here’s another bold NL prediction from me:

Yoenis Cespedes hits the fewest homers of the regular Mets outfielders. Last season, he was playing for a new contract and posted career highs in HR/FB ratio as well as hard contact. Much like Arrieta, Cespedes performed at an incredible rate in the second half, slugging 95 points higher at .594 compared to the .499 rate in the first half. He hit 22 second-half home runs as 25 percent of his flyballs became homers whereas 13 percent did so in the first half of the season. He should still get to 20, but so will Michael Comforto and Curtis Granderson. All three should hit between 20-25 homers, but Cespedes will bring up the rear.

Sunday March 20, 2016 11:55 Jason Collette

Jason Collette: 

Inciarte $18 to Walton. My prediction on Inciarte:

Ender Inciarte earns more than any Braves batter in 2016. Inciarte hit .319/.358/.443 in the second half of 2015 while doubling his walk rate, reducing his strikeout rate and swiping 12 bases. We have him projected for 83 runs, 25 steals and a .288 average. Everyone else will be chasing Freddie Freeman as his hot spring is pushing his ADP, which has jumped nearly 20 points in the last week. Meanwhile, Inciarte has yet to crack the top 50 for outfielders and is going after extreme risks such as Jay Bruce and Mark Trumbo. Inciarte is one of 13 players we project to score at least 80 runs and steal at least 25 bases, and he has the lowest ADP of the 11 outfielders of that group:

• Mookie Betts: 18
• Charlie Blackmon: 35
• Billy Burns: 147
• Byron Buxton: 174
• Lorenzo Cain: 51
• Carlos Gomez: 51
• Greg Polanco: 90
• A.J. Pollock: 16

Brandon Moss $12 to Walton. My Moss prediction:

Brandon Moss leads the Cardinals in home runs. His home run numbers have been down three consecutive seasons, but let’s compare his 2013 season and his 2015 season in a few areas.

YEAR PA HR FB% HR/FB HARD% AVG DISTANCE
2013 505 30 52 19 40 295
2015 526 19 47 13 39 285

The hard contact was there, but the ball didn’t travel as far and he didn’t hit as many flyballs as when he hit 30 homers two seasons ago. Moss was also coming off hip surgery and did not look right at the plate until late in the season when he hit .262/.359/.429 over the final two months. Moss is the 79th outfielder by ADP and one of the few down there with power upside if he’s fully recovered from the hip injury.

PDF VersionColumn Archives
Last year, I made National League and American League predictions, and didn’t do half bad in calling my shots. This year, I’m going to pick one player on each team to spotlight and include my award picks at the end, giving you 18 players in all that I either really like or dislike for 2016. I’ll begin with NL picks and pans because I’m not participating in any NL drafts this weekend, whereas I am in AL Tout Wars on Saturday morning and I’m not giving my competition any immediate ammo to use against me in that auction.

Atlanta Braves

Ender Inciarte earns more than any Braves batter in 2016. Inciarte hit .319/.358/.443 in the second half of 2015 while doubling his walk rate, reducing his strikeout rate and swiping 12 bases. We have him projected for 83 runs, 25 steals and a .288 average. Everyone else will be chasing Freddie Freeman as his hot spring is pushing his ADP, which has jumped nearly 20 points in the last week. Meanwhile, Inciarte has yet to crack the top 50 for outfielders and is going after extreme risks such as Jay Bruce and Mark Trumbo. Inciarte is one of 13 players we project to score at least 80 runs and steal at least 25 bases, and he has the lowest ADP of the 11 outfielders of that group:

• Mookie Betts: 18
• Charlie Blackmon: 35
• Billy Burns: 147
• Byron Buxton: 174
• Lorenzo Cain: 51
• Carlos Gomez: 51
• Greg Polanco: 90
• A.J. Pollock: 16
• George Springer: 24
• Delino DeShields Jr.: 177
• Ender Inciarte: 190

Milwaukee Brewers

Keon Broxton leads the team in stolen bases. Milwaukee is more likely to compete for the top draft pick than a wild card, which means it should give plenty of players a chance to show what they have for the future. Broxton came over last year in a deal from Pittsburgh and has just a couple plate appearances in the big leagues. Last year in the minors, he stole 39 bases in 54 tries and has regularly swiped 20-plus bases in the minors. He does have quite a bit of swing-and-miss in his game, but so do a number of Brewers. He’s a wild-card play in NL Only leagues in the late rounds who can be rostered for nothing and could then steal 15-20 bases if he makes enough contact to stay in the lineup. He has the defensive abilities to play all three outfield positions.

St. Louis Cardinals

Brandon Moss leads the Cardinals in home runs. His home run numbers have been down three consecutive seasons, but let’s compare his 2013 season and his 2015 season in a few areas.

YEAR PA HR FB% HR/FB HARD% AVG DISTANCE
2013 505 30 52 19 40 295
2015 526 19 47 13 39 285

The hard contact was there, but the ball didn’t travel as far and he didn’t hit as many flyballs as when he hit 30 homers two seasons ago. Moss was also coming off hip surgery and did not look right at the plate until late in the season when he hit .262/.359/.429 over the final two months. Moss is the 79th outfielder by ADP and one of the few down there with power upside if he’s fully recovered from the hip injury.

Chicago Cubs

Jake Arrieta’s final ERA is not below 3.00. He went 18-2 after June 1 with a .223 BABIP, an 85 percent LOB%, and allowed 93 hits in 164 innings while allowing just four home runs. He essentially did over 164 innings what Mariano Rivera was doing in his prime over the course of full seasons. It was simply amazing to watch, but the Plexiglass Principle says teams that improve in one season decline the following year. The same can apply to Arrieta because players that have historically amazing seasons tend to decline the following year. He is 32-11 with a 2.08 ERA as a Cubs pitcher and looking nothing like the guy the Orioles sent away to acquire the services of Steve Clevenger. Arrieta isn’t making it out of the second round in drafts, and while the wins should be there for him, the ERA is going to increase due to a mixture of regression and the unpredictable elements in Wrigley Field.

Arizona Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson leads the team in saves. Hudson looked great out of the pen last season coming back from multiple arm surgeries and the durability concerns with him should leave him in the pen full time this season. Ziegler is the incumbent, but his skills aren’t exactly rock solid while Hudson has a bunch of swing-and-miss in his game and can get the needed punchout in tight situations whereas Ziegler has to rely on the defense to get the out. Hudson is end-game material in NL leagues or deep mixed benches that could be part of that 30 percent of relievers who get 10-plus saves who weren’t closers at the start of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Yasiel Puig finishes the season as a top-12 outfielder in mixed leagues. Puig is the 23rd outfielder off the board by ADP with an ADP of 83, putting him behind the likes of Carlos Gonzalez, Adam Jones, Jason Heyward, Ryan Braun, Justin Upton and Billy Hamilton and just in front of Matt Kemp. Puig had issues with both hamstrings last year and seemed to live full-time in Don Mattingly’s dog house. Mattingly is gone and rookie skipper Dave Roberts is in place. A healthy Puig should be a lock for 20-plus homers and a new skipper could put Puig in motion more frequently, allowing him to post a double-double season, getting back to what he did in 2014 as a baseline.

San Francisco Giants

Sergio Romo once again saves 20-plus games. Romo had the closer role in 2013 and 2014 but lost it to Santiago Casilla and didn’t get it back in 2015. That should change in 2015 as Romo bounced back last season to show excellent skills in the pen — even better than what the kid Hunter Strickland did.

PLAYER TBF K-BB% K% BB% FB% HR/FB% Z-CONTACT% SwStr% F-STRIKE%
Santiago Casilla 244 16 25 9 30 13 89 10 57
Sergio Romo 230 27 31 4 32 7 76 17 70
Hunter Strickland 191 21 26 5 40 8 78 14 65

Casilla only needs to slip up for Bruce Bochy to go back to his known-known in the bullpen and let the skills roar.

Miami Marlins

Wei-Yin Chen is a top-20 starting pitcher in the NL by season’s end. He is 29th in NL-Only leagues by ADP and is going just a few spots behind Kenta Maeda, who has never thrown a major league pitch. What I like about Chen is that he’s moving from a park that inflated home runs by 12 percent to one that has suppressed them by 27 percent. Yes, the Marlins are moving in the fences a little bit, but this is still a tremendous improvement in home park for Chen. Additionally, Chen will get to pitch against the rebuilding Braves and Phillies with the unbalanced schedule. The long ball has always been a problem for him as his HR/9 was at least 1.1 in each of the four seasons in Baltimore, his ERA never below 3.34. That should change in 2016 with the change in parks, and he’ll get the bump in strikeouts going to the National League as well.

New York Mets

Yoenis Cespedes hits the fewest homers of the regular Mets outfielders. Last season, he was playing for a new contract and posted career highs in HR/FB ratio as well as hard contact. Much like Arrieta, Cespedes performed at an incredible rate in the second half, slugging 95 points higher at .594 compared to the .499 rate in the first half. He hit 22 second-half home runs as 25 percent of his flyballs became homers whereas 13 percent did so in the first half of the season. He should still get to 20, but so will Michael Comforto and Curtis Granderson. All three should hit between 20-25 homers, but Cespedes will bring up the rear.

Washington Nationals

Ben Revere returns to the 40-steal plateau. Revere’s running game came to a screeching halt once he was dealt to Toronto last season, but now comes to a team with an old-school skipper that likes to run and has Davey Lopes as a first base coach. The Nationals stole just 57 bases last season, so the acquisition of Revere was done with a purpose because it also means the talented Michael Taylor is marginalized as a reserve outfielder or sent back to the minors. Revere swiped 49 bags two seasons ago for a terrible Phillies team and scored just 71 runs. If everyone behind him remains healthy in 2016, Revere’s run total should be at least double his stolen base total.

San Diego Padres

Jabari Blash will hit at least 15 homers. A few weeks ago, I looked at some Rule 5 picks and did not mention Blash. He’s made me pay for that as he’s been very good this spring in the Cactus League and could open the season in the starting lineup. He hit 32 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A last season, and while 22 came in the Pacific Coast League, it is worth mentioning that his home park (Tacoma) is one of the few parks in the league that favors pitchers. He will make below-average contact, but he has size and power to all fields.

Philadelphia Phillies

Tyler Goeddel will put up a double-double season as a Rule 5 pick in the outfield. I will simply repeat what I said earlier this month: Philly is looking to strike gold for a second consecutive season in outfielder Tyler Goeddel. Goeddel was drafted as a third baseman by Tampa Bay but was converted to the outfield last season while he spent all year in Double-A. Last season was a career year of sorts for him as he finally showed some power to go with his speed. He has a good approach at the plate and has the athleticism to play all three outfield spots. That’s a good thing for Goeddel and the Phillies because right field is anything but locked up. Philly obviously will give Odubel Herrera, last year’s Rule 5 steal, his job back, but both corner outfield spots are up for grabs. Goeddel has shown the ability to accept walks throughout his minor-league career, which is ideal when you’re hitting in front of the pitcher in the National League. The Phillies will be terrible, which will allow them to give Goeddel all the time he needs to show if he can make the leap from Double-A to the majors and potentially have a double-double season.

Pittsburgh Pirates

Jeff Locke wins 12-plus games with a 3.50 (or lower) ERA. His 2013 and 2015 season were similar in that he made 30 starts in each, but last season he struggled stranding runners and paid for it in ERA. He won 10 games with a 3.52 ERA in 2013 and has somewhat plateaued since. He generates a lot of groundballs for the strong defense behind him to soak up and some breaks could swing him in the right direction. It is tough to find anyone on the pitching staff who could break out, so this is purely a speculation on a guy falling into some fortune.

Cincinnati Reds

Jumbo Diaz leads the team in saves. It will be very weird to watch the Reds and not see Aroldis Chapman coming out of the pen pumping gas in the ninth inning. Some are anointing J.J. Hoover as the new guy, but the only skill he really has is a 20-percent strikeout rate. He struggles to throw strikes, gives up too many free passes and is rather hittable for a closer. Meanwhile, Diaz strikes out more batters, allows less contact and throws more strikes. He too has issues with home runs, but Diaz has the best skills in this pen and should get that closer job at some point early in the season and hold onto it for a bad Reds team.

Goeddel $4 to Zola

Sunday March 20, 2016 1:35 Jason Collette
1:36
Jason Collette: 

what I said about Goeddel:

Tyler Goeddel will put up a double-double season as a Rule 5 pick in the outfield. I will simply repeat what I said earlier this month: Philly is looking to strike gold for a second consecutive season in outfielder Tyler Goeddel. Goeddel was drafted as a third baseman by Tampa Bay but was converted to the outfield last season while he spent all year in Double-A. Last season was a career year of sorts for him as he finally showed some power to go with his speed. He has a good approach at the plate and has the athleticism to play all three outfield spots. That’s a good thing for Goeddel and the Phillies because right field is anything but locked up. Philly obviously will give Odubel Herrera, last year’s Rule 5 steal, his job back, but both corner outfield spots are up for grabs. Goeddel has shown the ability to accept walks throughout his minor-league career, which is ideal when you’re hitting in front of the pitcher in the National League. The Phillies will be terrible, which will allow them to give Goeddel all the time he needs to show if he can make the leap from Double-A to the majors and potentially have a double-double season.

Keon Broxton $3 to Tristan…and now Jumbo stands alone as my late sleeper

Sunday March 20, 2016 1:39 Jason Collette
1:40
Jason Collette: 

what I said about Broxton:

Keon Broxton leads the team in stolen bases. Milwaukee is more likely to compete for the top draft pick than a wild card, which means it should give plenty of players a chance to show what they have for the future. Broxton came over last year in a deal from Pittsburgh and has just a couple plate appearances in the big leagues. Last year in the minors, he stole 39 bases in 54 tries and has regularly swiped 20-plus bases in the minors. He does have quite a bit of swing-and-miss in his game, but so do a number of Brewers. He’s a wild-card play in NL Only leagues in the late rounds who can be rostered for nothing and could then steal 15-20 bases if he makes enough contact to stay in the lineup. He has the defensive abilities to play all three outfield positions.

Pricing is typically high out of the gate in all of these drafts. The younger pitchers have as much upside as they do risks, but Tiers 1 & 2 went high so that deflated prices downstream
