Mike Moustakas & Alex Wood are two players I predict will FAAAAAAR outperform their adps. Be nice to have them, however their price is going to be a lot higher than it was a month ago. Good luck!

vroom vroom!

ie, gecko doesn't have them on his 46 teams so far, so he's sure to rectify that for the Main Event, auctions, etc...

Who's Alex Wood?

He is going to follow Dan Kenyon in the Braves rotation.

Might still have some value if drafters believe this

...Wood has definitely earned a spot in Atlanta's rotation to begin the season, with the caveat that he could still be bumped to the pen once Gavin Floyd returns. On merit, we expect Wood to do more than enough to keep his rotation spot. However, the Braves will probably want to limit his innings and sending him to the pen for a month or two at some point would help with that. Mar 17 - 3:56 PM

I have moose high in my rankings. Can't believe he is going for pennies on the dollar. All of his owners appreciate it though!

From the book of Gekko:

Great spring training = MVP caliber season!!

I'm just wondering how to get these guys cheap come the Friday auction. Hope I didn't tip my hand

talking them up is one way

I know I won't get in your way!!

This is the man who called 2010 Cargo "the Braun of the 8th round" and 2012 Goldschmidt "Stanton 10 rounds later".
Ignore his advice at your own peril.

Also the guy who rightfully hyped Kazmir at this time last year

What's Gekko thinking at this time of the year........ enquiring minds want to know!!

some players whose worth should exceed their pricepoints (sometimes by a lot)...

Mike Moustakas - ya, i know they are spring numbers, but his cant be ignored. light bulb came on. can buy him dirt cheap and he fills a scarce position

Alex Wood - MONEY. Hasnt allowed a run this spring. check out minor league numbers. between AA and AAA last year had a SUB 1.00 whip along with a microscopic 1.31 ERA. MONEY. and surprisingly, he's another dirt cheap guy. HELLO fantasy world. what are you waiting for?

Tyler Skaggs - Lefty with his fastball back in mid 90's. ADP = left for dead. Sign me up

Ivan  Nova - Having a very impressive spring after last year's semi-breakout. this year he comes full circle.

Hisashi Iwakuma - sure he his an injury concern, but it's not an elbow/shoulder. finger should be good to go soon. might only miss 2 starts. buy at discount NOW

Jose Bautista - 5HR already this spring. with a healthy season, you are looking at a chris davis or better season potential. can't believe i got him in the auction 2 months ago for a mere $18. SOLID GOLD

sorry for the ramblings. i do have a 9 page spread i wrote up a couple months ago about breakout players for 2014. maybe i'll release it after all the drafts are over

Good idea!! Lord knows they don't help you during the draft!!

Just two more days and I get to see this little Dobies/Gekko rivalry play out in person.
Should be worth the price of admission.

Let's hope I don't get so caught up watching that I forget to bid!!

Easy guppy, I mean blowfish!!

where's Elijah Dukes these days?

Sadly, me at the NYC Super Auction table being outbid by Dobies and Gekko on Mike Moustakas & Alex Wood.

Carlos Martinez could ramp up as quickly (or quicker) than Ventura. Let's see if I have enough ammo to get one of them, or both if I'm lucky

Brad Miller? Playing time uncertainty helping value. Now .447 with 4HR.

Cespedes, $8, crickets!

Sold to you

With playing time issues and batting in the lower end of the lineup for majority of spring, his price point will be too high to consider

I'll take for under $20!
