INSIGHT

Langford's 30-30 Ceiling Versus Durability Risk

  • Wyatt Langford has clear 30-30 upside but injury history (oblique, hamstring) and two seasons of 134 games create durability risk.
  • Erik Halterman avoids high-risk early picks and prefers players with higher floor like Pete Crow-Armstrong at similar ADP ranges.
INSIGHT

Perez's Low Ground Ball Is A Double-Edged Strength

  • Yuri Perez shows elite strikeout and WHIP skills returning from TJ, but his very low ground-ball rate could mean volatile BABIP and ERA.
  • Halterman suggests reframing low ground-ball as a potential strength if flyouts stay weak and strikeouts climb.
ADVICE

Buy Wheeler Only At A Significant Discount

  • Take Zach Wheeler at deep discount (e.g., Yahoo ADP ~136) but avoid paying top-100 prices without velocity/health confirmation.
  • Halterman and Joe cite thoracic outlet recovery as promising but want simulated outing data first.
