re: SBL 2013 Spring Training (Keepers 3/17, Slow Draft to follow)

Mike Moustakas' ADP of around 180 seems a substantially better value than Ryan Zimmerman's ADP, which currently is about 50. Is that crazy talk?

Narrowing the ADPs to near-equal levels is crazy talk. "I'd rather have Moustakas in the 18th round than Zimmerman in the fifth" is not remotely crazy talk. Remember, I'd ranked Zimmerman about a round and a half lower than your quoted ADP, so I'm on board that he's being overrated if that his number.




With all the new additions, do you think Brett Lawrie is a bit of an under the radar player right now, especially coming off an underwhelming 2012? Is .290 20HR/80RBI/20SB realistic? Also, where should I target him in a keeper league?

He's another player whose next-level statistics wildly fluctuate, and considering age/experience with players like this I take that as the player is in the midst of his adjustment period. Lawrie has the skills to put up the numbers you cite, and I'm ranking him as if I'm cautiously optimistic he'll get there (with some luck in the health department). But watch him closely in March!Ranked 89th for redraft, tentatively 37th for keeper.
