MLB Conviction Plays

Just a quick piece to share some plays in which I have a lot of conviction. This should come across via the rankings as well, of course – conviction plays are generally going to be ranked a fair bit ahead of ADP – but for a few guys I want to note the “why” behind why I like them. This is not intended to be a complete list of every player I like more than their ADP, just a selected list of players who I have a lot of personal confidence in and want to be overweight the field on. 

Pitchers

• Logan Gilbert (rank 50, ADP ~55) – Gilbert could challenge for SP1 this year. He threw 208 innings last year, allowed under 1 baserunner per inning, doesn’t walk anybody, and strikes out over 1 hitter per inning. He just needs some wins to swing his way (9-12 record last year) to put up a truly elite season. He’s the first of the SP1s who I’m actually excited to draft.
