BALLER MOVE: Target ~227
CURRENT ADP: ~288
ANALYSIS: You might not know it by his innocent .242/.357/.399 triple slash from 2016, but Choo really smoked the ball – when he was on the field. In only 48 games, 210 plate appearances, the 34-year-old clubbed seven homers with six steals with a gaudy 43.2% hard-hit rate. While this figure likely would’ve fallen with more playing time, it’s still notable that…well, nothing notable happened. His HR/FB rate remained at a usual 17.5%, his ISO was an unimpressive .157 and his BABIP was a career-low .288 against a recent five-year average of roughly .330. With a nearly nonexistent ADP of 327.01 per NFBC data (OF79), Choo is a nifty late-round flier.
