As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the early Ottoneu drafts are revealing some fascinating trends that could shape our strategies moving forward. With over 100 drafts already completed, we’re starting to see which players are being undervalued and overvalued based on their auction prices compared to projections.

Let’s dive into some of the intriguing names on both sides of the spectrum. For instance, Spencer Horwitz is being drafted at an average of just $3, despite projections suggesting he could be a solid contributor for the Pirates once he returns from wrist surgery. Is this a classic case of a player being overlooked due to injury concerns, or is there something deeper at play here?

On the flip side, Trea Turner’s average draft value sits at around $35, which raises eyebrows given his inconsistent performance since joining the Phillies. Are we witnessing a classic overvaluation based on past reputation, or do you believe he can bounce back to elite status?

And what about Corey Seager? Drafted at an average of $39, he’s seen as a top-tier shortstop, but with his injury history, is he worth the investment?

Let’s not forget about the pitching landscape. Aaron Nola and Corbin Burnes are both being drafted at prices that suggest they’re still seen as aces, but are their recent performances justifying those costs?

I want to hear your thoughts! Who do you think is the biggest steal or bust in these early drafts? Are there any players you’re targeting or avoiding based on these trends? Let’s get the conversation rolling and share our insights as we prepare for what promises to be an exciting season!
