Talked about it here. In my opinion these are the most undervalued players in the top 100, let me know your thoughts:

No player in the NFBC has had a larger gap between their ADP and their year end ranking than Nelson Cruz the last three years. He had the second best exit velocity in MLB last year, so I don't see many signs of slowing down.

Carlos Gonzalez does carry that injury prone tag and it was well earned. The last two years were his first with over 150 games played. Not sure if there's a correlation here, but I believe the total of six stolen base attempts in those seasons makes him less risky for injury.

I agree that a pair of strong catchers can be game changers in this format, but I would be surprised if that position wasn't the worst bet for return on your investment. There are just so many chances to take a shitty nagging season-wrecking injury behind the plate.

Not a big Schwarber man. I actually think he and Sano are two of the more overvalued players, but way more confidence in Schwarber than Sano.

I would love to see McCutchen bounce back. Maybe he needs more rest. He's still a relatively small guy and he's had at least 648 plate appearances the last seven years.

Your overall premise that young guys with upside are more popular than the dependable old Adam Jonesey type vet is well taken. The funny thing is people will be satisfied if a young guy hits projected numbers that they could have had ten rounds later, so alluring is the tiny possibility that he'll vastly exceed those marks.

Now for probably the more fun episode, NFBC ADP most overvalued players:

The query could've been from drafts that finished after March 1. Only 13 teams took him.

I thought he was just making a joke.

I just point and click on the headers 'Slow Drafts' and 'Since March 1' because I have no idea how to dig deeper.
Would be interesting to know how many times Reyes was taken in drafts starting after Feb 15 when the TJ surgery was announced.

Thirteen teams is too many though.

That's most likely a result of people timing out when their queues were empty.
