As we dive into the heart of fantasy baseball draft season, an intriguing concept has emerged that could reshape how we approach our rosters: the idea of draft tariffs. This notion suggests that by adhering too closely to Average Draft Position (ADP), we might be overpaying for certain players, much like how tariffs inflate the cost of imported goods.
Let's consider the implications of this idea. Are we inadvertently inflating the value of players like Paul Skenes or Spencer Strider simply because they are popular picks? With the current landscape of injuries and projections, could it be that some of these high-profile players are not worth the draft capital we’re investing?
Moreover, what about the catchers and pitchers? With the demand for catchers in two-catcher leagues driving their prices up, are we making a mistake by following ADP blindly? For instance, is drafting William Contreras in the early third round a strategic move or a classic case of overvaluation?
On the flip side, there are players like Luis Arraez and Ezequiel Tovar who seem to be undervalued. Are these the hidden gems we should be targeting to maximize our draft capital?
As we gear up for our drafts, I want to hear your thoughts. How do you approach the balance between following ADP and identifying value? Have you ever regretted a pick because you followed the crowd? What strategies do you employ to avoid paying those draft tariffs?
Let’s get the conversation rolling! Share your bold predictions for players who might be overhyped this season and those who could surprise us as value picks. What’s your take on the current draft landscape?
