2025 First Base Preview: Vladdy, Harper, Freddie, Walker and Vinnie
From a value and draft strategy standpoint I prefer Christian Walker at ADP 102 over the top 5 first basemen on this list. In fact, Walker’s Steamer projections are quite similar to Pete Alonso’s despite Walker going 5 rounds later.
2025 Catcher Preview: Contreras Bros., Raleigh, Rutschman, Moreno and More
There aren’t many catchers that offer Cal Raleigh’s lift in plate appearances and the added value can be significant. If I miss William Contreras with my 3rd round pick I have targeted Raleigh with a 7th rounder. The big difference between the two players is batting average and that creates the separation.
Altuve, Bagwell, Biggio…and Morgan?
May 7, 2024
Morgan’s considered an inner circle HOF’er and what he did during his Big Red Machine days was remarkable. Johnny Bench was always my favorite Red but back then every little leaguer I knew would try to imitate Joe Morgan’s unique pre-swing elbow trigger. It was easily the most recognizable swing for a generation of baseball loving kids.
