If you happen to go in another direction other than OF with your first two sections, Have no fear. There are plenty of value plays with huge upside potential lurking deep in the draft. For the sake of this piece we will define value as outperforming there ADP.
Andrew McCutchen ADP 26.58
This will probably be the last time you can draft this budding star outside the second round. Last year was a hiccup on another wise ascending career path. McCutchen posted a .259 BA, but it was largely BABIP driven. His career average BABIP is .309, however last year it dipped to .291 resulting in a lower than expected batting average.

He’s on the cusp of a 30HR/30SB season with a .280 avg.
