Thoughts?

In the last two drafts, I see that Trea Turner has snuck up to 1.7 and 1.9.

He is the type of player that you want to root for and own, but I suspect that this climb up the draft board may be a little too far, too fast, for some. Will be fun to see whether he lives up to his draft position.

I have no problem taking Turner 3rd overall

Love some of the names in the 4/5 range -JD Martinez, Carpenter, Yelich, Archer, Lucroy, etc. Seems deeper than last year or maybe it's just the excitement of thinking about the return of baseball.

Mark, that's one of things I like about your game - you're willing to grab who you like when you like, public opinion and ADP be damned. I try to do the same, but no way am I taking Turning at 1.3. Too many guys I like better that early.

I was the one who took him seventh. I wouldn't have taken him before any of the guys who went ahead of me, but two weeks into the season he'll be 2B/SS/OF eligible.

Folks,

My comp machine indicates Carlos Correa is Miggy Cabrera WITH speed. Everything you needed to figure this out was at your fingertips this offseason. Here's hoping you read the tea leaves correctly this offseason.

As for me, I have Correa on 11 of 14 NFBC teams this year. I took him in the first round in every draft he was available, no matter what draft slot I received. In other words, I never passed on him, even as early as the 2 hole.

Que Maurice Chevalier..."Ah yes, I remember it well!"

[Gekko]

Turner's per AB numbers destroy Correa's. To be honest, I couldn't fault owners taking Turner #1 overall this year

[Edwards Kings]

Great ballplayer. Gonna enjoy watching him play for years. Faster than Kenyon on a bowl full of Doritos.

Absolutely will maintain his average with a 39% hit rate with a 4% walk rate like he did in the majors last year. Wouldn't worry at all about hitting 19 HR in 1,152 minor league at bats while hitting 13 HR in 324 major league AB on a 32% flyball rate. Will steal a million bases hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup in front of Murphy, Harper and Rendon.

First round lock.

[Gekko]

Early projection...

650 AB
15 HR
70+ SB
120 Runs
.300+ AVG

[Edwards Kings]

Well, if I had to pick someone to listen to between you and me...I would pick you. You have a helluva track record. Those AB and those SB numbers and those runs means you think Turner will lead off for a full year over Eaton.

So is your dream start Turner/Correa?

[Bronx Yankees]

Interesting discussion. Turner probably is one of the more challenging players to project this season. He does have the potential upside to be the best overall player in 2017 for fantasy purposes, but whether he is likely to meet those lofty goals is another question. I think I kind of fall in the middle on him. I'm not expecting huge regression or for him to merely be a half-season wonder. On the other hand, I'm not 100% convinced he will avoid regression or that he definitely will be great instead of merely very good. When he was being drafted in the first few DCs around the end of Round 1, I thought that may have been about right and could see myself maybe gambling on him. I confess I'm a little surprised to see him move up so fast into the middle of Round 1, and I suppose there is a possibility he moves up even higher. Hey, folks that jumped on Mookie Betts last year were not disappointed. Also, Turner's positional eligibility can be very helpful. Still, given the other choices likely to be available, I do not see myself using a mid-first round (or earlier) pick on him. Not saying you guys necessarily will be wrong; I tend to lean conservative on my early picks.

Commenting on Mark's early projections, I can see the ABs if healthy, the HR seems reasonable for a full season and reflects some likely regression from last year's half-season, and a .300 BA is achievable (but not certain). I think I would take the under on 70 SB and I know I would take the under on 120 R. Ricky Henderson, arguably the best leadoff hitter in the history of baseball, only got to 120 R twice in his long career, although he did come very close a number of additional times.

As an aside, I'm always astounded going back and looking at the stats of the some of the all-time greats, like Henderson. While most folks are amazed at the 100+ SBs in some years, the longevity of his base-stealing blows me away. In 1998, in his Age 39 season, he swiped 66 bags. Heck, in his Age 40, 41 and 42 seasons, he still swiped 37, 36 and 25 bases.

No matter who is right, Turner will be fun to watch.

Mike
