2022 H&T Pre-Draft Rankings

 

Pre-Draft Rankings! Unlike previous years where I graded each keeper individually, I've simply used Yahoo's rankings to grade the keepers here. Much to my dismay, the rankings didn't like me swapping Trout for JRod and they definitely didn't like Tatis' injury (dropped from #1 to #102).  But this is probably a pretty accurate ranking of the opportunities for the 2022 season at this point as Jason has 6 picks in the first two rounds and a very solid group of keepers to boot.  Obviously, Yahoo's grades don't factor in keeperability so any young players with questionable playing time will take a hit. 

Keepers ranked outside the top 100 included:

• Fernando Tatis Jr. 102
• Bobby Witt Jr. 103
• Rhys Hoskins 108
• Max Muncy 114
• Pablo López 124
• Clayton Kershaw 135
• Jarred Kelenic 146
• Joey Gallo 149
• Chris Sale 167
• Julio Rodriguez 296

BUT that's why they play the games, so they say...

DRAFT is Monday 4/4, promptly at 830 pm. We really can't draft any later than that as we still need time for the first round of waivers, which I've temporarily set at one day (usually two days). I will turn it back after the first round. This will mean you will want to place waiver claims on Tuesday after the draft, which will process Wednesday. Then it'll be open season on the free agents in time for opening day on Thursday. 

Gibby has graciously set up a Zoom for the draft. This was a lot of fun last year so try to make it this year if you can
