BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 75
CURRENT ADP: ~91 overall
ANALYSIS: This is a hitter that I have been targeting and ended up walking away from both Tout Wars Draft and Hold and The Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational (TGFBI) with him in the sixth round of each. Meadows is the perfect player to give a pass for a down 2020 season. He dealt with COVID just before the season and was forced to miss some time. He struggled out the gate and then suffered an oblique injury in season. His end-of-season numbers were brutal, but two years ago, when he was healthy, he was a good fantasy asset.
In 2019, he broke out with 33 homers, 89 RBI, 83 runs and 12 stolen bases, while hitting .291. And projections seem to be overlooking his down 2020 season as well. ATC projections – which has been the most accurate projection system two years in a row – have him for 25 homers, 11 steals, with over 75 runs and RBIs. Rays manager Kevin Cash has been talking up Meadows this spring and he has played well this spring with three homers already. I love him in the sixth round, but he is starting to climb.
