Maybe batting after his cousin in the lineup has unlocked an even higher ceiling. Either way, batting before Bobby Witt Jr. is nice real estate and will help win your Runs category.

The undrafted Cubs closer was a clutch add last year and also a reminder not to sweat RP’s on draft day. Fantasy’s most volatile position has guys like Palencia come out of the woodwork every year to deliver 22 saves and an ERA under 3.00.

I know, Yankee fans just rolled their eyes, but it wasn’t that long ago he hit 25 homeruns as a middle infielder. OBP leagues may want to look closer as Gleyber traded 35 strikeouts for 20 walks last year. Maybe he was just getting better calls on full counts, or maybe he’s seeing the ball better and there is something brewing for this season. Hit me with the below the surface stats!

A Full Blutarski in batting average in the WBC may just be an outlier. But for the consensus #2 catcher in baseball, it would make me hesitate a round on draft day. There’s a surprisingly decent number of catcher options this year.
