As we dive into the 2025 MLB season, the excitement is palpable, especially with the recent surge of players climbing the draft boards. It’s fascinating to see how quickly perceptions can shift based on spring performances and injury news.

Take Clay Holmes, for instance. He’s skyrocketed up the ADP charts, now sitting at #209 after a staggering 122-spot jump. With the Mets' rotation in disarray, is he a must-have for your fantasy team, or is this a classic case of overreaction?

Then there's Alejandro Kirk, who seems to be benefiting from a solid spring despite last year's struggles. Can he really be trusted as a second catcher, or is this just a fleeting moment of optimism?

And what about the veteran Max Scherzer? Now with the Blue Jays, his recent injury concerns have many questioning whether he’s worth the risk at #253. Is he a potential steal, or should we be cautious with our expectations?

Jonathan India is another name to watch. If he can secure the leadoff spot in Kansas City, could he be the breakout player we’ve been waiting for?

Let’s not forget about the prospects like Jackson Holliday and J.J. Bleday, who are generating buzz. Are they worth the hype, or should we temper our expectations based on their past performances?

As we gear up for the season, I want to hear your thoughts! Which of these players do you believe will exceed their current ADP? Are there any deep league risers you’re particularly excited about? And how do you approach drafting players with fluctuating values? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
