BALLER MOVE: Target ~65
CURRENT ADP: 90
ANALYSIS: New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes did not have the 2017 many people expected. However, this was mainly due to nagging injuries, rather than flat-out underperformance. Before a hamstring injury derailed his season, Cespedes was crushing it with a 1.020 OPS, with stats that would have prorated to a .300 batting average, .366 OBP, 35 home runs and 90 RBI – which aligns nicely with what his performance was in 2016.
If he can stay healthy in 2018, we very well might see more of the same. Cespedes should be one of those guys you definitely play the ADP game with in 2018; chances are his ADP will be lower than it should be given his 2017 results. If you can get him cheap(er), you may reap some big rewards, as Cespedes topped 30 home runs in both 2015 and 2016, topping 100 RBI in 2014 and 2015 as well.
