First, I am not an 'expert'. All I do is write. To me, there are no experts in fantasy baseball. To be an expert in any field, I feel like you have to have conquered that field. I've won leagues, you've won leagues, most of us reading this has won leagues, but none of us have felt like we conquered fantasy baseball. It's like conquering golf. It can't be done.
I say this about experts because this piece is what one who fancies themself an expert would write....Only in reverse.
Experts like to tell us what they would do in a draft. Tell you who you should draft.
I'm going to do the opposite here.
My plan is take the first 10 rounds of ADP and tell you who I would NOT select within the first 10 rounds.
Should be fun and if you disagree, it's ok, I'm no expert!

ADP 136-150 ROUND 10
I'm going to be very blunt.
What is the fascination with Ke 'Bryan Hayes?
Seriously?
I have a friend who has drafted Hayes the last two years. Both years I contacted him in August and asked how Hayes was doing on his Main Event team.
His response was "Hey, he's getting me SB from a corner spot."
Ugh.
If wanting SB from a corner spot means so much, draft Jon Berti.
Hayes .244/55/7/41/20
Berti .240/47/4/28/41
Closer than thought, eh?
Hayes has never hit more than 10 home runs in a season. Not even in the Minor Leagues!
He's never driven in 70 runs, never scored 70 runs. Not even in the Minor Leagues!
What Hayes HAS had since appearing in pro ball is hype.
And sure, that hype can be fulfilled someday, but until it is, I'd feel better rostering Ryan McMahon 60 picks later in a later round than Hayes in round 10.
Hayes has been in professional baseball for eight seasons.
Last year was the first year that he had over 500 at bats.
It was also the first year that he played over 120 games.
Even then, it seemed as if he was courting minor injury most of the season.
Since appearing in professional baseball, Hayes skill set has been waylaid in missing games.
And really, what is the skill set?
Hayes plays on a bad offensive team, gets nicked up often, and has never shown power for a CI.
It is not a 10th round pick I would be proud of....
ROUND 9 tomorrow....
