My picks: Yasmani Grandal, Joey Meneses, and Bryson Stott
At this stage of the draft, you’re just looking for the best options available. Of the three, I’m very curious about Meneses, who showed his power during the World Baseball Classic. I also like Stott being a part of a strong Phillies lineup and hoping he takes the next step in his second season. All three can slot in at multiple positions as well, and that never hurts.
Martinez became Mr. Irrelevant of the draft, being the last player selected. However, that worked out pretty well for Brock Purdy last season with the San Francisco 49ers, so who am I to judge?
So where did I pick someone too high or too low? What would you have done differently? Let me know in the comments section below, and here’s wishing you good luck in your fantasy baseball draft.
