In this week's look at the biggest ADP movers in NFBC Draft Champions leagues, Jeff Zimmerman highlights several relievers like Taylor Rogers and Seranthony Dominguez who are being viewed as more likely to close, as well as some hitters like David Hamilton and Carlos Santana who have seen their stock rise or fall based on offseason moves and roster changes. The article also touches on the outlooks for players like Luisangel Acuna, German Marquez, and Triston Casas as they head into the new season.

Why it matters

Tracking ADP changes is crucial for fantasy baseball managers to identify players who may be over or undervalued heading into drafts. This information can help inform draft strategy and ensure managers are maximizing value with their picks.

The details

The article focuses on the biggest ADP risers and fallers in NFBC Draft Champions leagues, which are 15-team leagues with 50-man rosters and no waiver-wire moves. Among the notable risers are several relievers like Taylor Rogers, Seranthony Dominguez, and Jordan Romano, who are being viewed as more likely to close than before. Hitters like David Hamilton, Carlos Santana, and Luisangel Acuna have also seen their ADPs rise, though the reasoning varies. On the flip side, players like Andrew Saalfrank, Reese Olson, and Triston Casas have seen their ADPs fall, often due to injuries, roster changes, or concerns about their playing time prospects.

What they’re saying

“I don't understand the demand for a career .642 OPS bench bat. He wasn't going to play in Boston without injuries, and that remains so in Milwaukee. Maybe there was a time Hamilton looked primed to secure the third-base spot, but that was before Luis Rengifo joined the Brewers. There's no need to add a bad Four-A talent.”

“Even with Julien now playing his home games in Colorado, he's just a strong-side platoon bat with a career 32 percent strikeout rate. I'm unsure what he does.”
