BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 235
CURRENT ADP: ~294 overall
ANALYSIS: Cron will enter his age-31 season having only logged more than 500 PAs once in his seven-year career. But he’s at the perfect price point where you shrug at the low floor while recognizing his stellar power potential. I realize power bats don’t mean as much as they used to, but Cron projects as a 30-homer play when on the field. And when that field is Coors Field...look out!

Folks may run from his .190 average in just 13 games (52 PAs) last year, but that goofy small-sample nonsense still came with four homers and an .894 OPS. Lest we forget that his 15% barrel rate and .550 xSLG from 2019 were both within the top 10% on leaderboards. Few others feel like they offer a steady 25-30 homer floor but this man does if he can stay on the field and get to 450-500 PAs.
