Early ADP Insights: Who to Target and Who to Fade in 2025 Fantasy Drafts
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 3:55 am
As we dive into the early ADP data for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, it's clear that some intriguing narratives are starting to take shape. Yordan Alvarez continues to be a hot pick, despite his lack of stolen bases, while players like Elly De La Cruz are raising eyebrows regarding their value.
Let's talk about Alvarez for a moment. With an ADP of 17.6, he seems to be a solid choice, especially considering his potential for 100 runs and RBIs if he stays healthy. But here's the question: Are we undervaluing players who excel in power and average but lack speed? In a world where stolen bases are becoming increasingly scarce, could Alvarez's four-category contributions make him a better pick than some of the speedsters like Corbin Carroll or Julio Rodriguez?
On the flip side, what about Adley Rutschman? Currently going as the third catcher off the board, is he being overlooked due to a rough finish last season? With the Orioles moving their fences, could this be the year he breaks out?
And let's not forget about the utility-only players like Brent Rooker. With the trend of more teams starting UT-only players, should we reconsider how we value these positions in drafts?
As we gear up for the 2025 season, what bold predictions do you have for these players? Are there any early targets or fades that you believe will shape the upcoming drafts? Share your thoughts and let's get the conversation rolling!
