Fantasy Baseball: Draft Day Bargains in 2010??

Eric over at Fantasy Alpha has a post up this morning talking about how Carl Crawford was a draft day bargain in 2009 drafts, and a list of players who could be draft day bargains in 2010 drafts.

I'll throw in Johan Santana, Brandon Webb and a prospect like Jason Heyward. Webb and Santana will have some value based on their history, but Heyward will be drafted very late in mixed league drafts and could produce 10-11th round value with enough playing time this season. God knows the hype machine is in full gear right now.

If I was drafting now, I wouldn’t touch Heyward. Just too much risk that he doesn’t start the season up in the majors. Weiters and Price are still too much on my mind from last year.

Luckily, my league is not having its auction until March 27. But if he’s beaten out Diaz or Melky, I’ll be more interested.

Another question, last year Weiters and Price were being pushed sky high by every expert. I don’t see Heyward getting that much hype in comparison to either of those two. Are there any other prospects being hyped this year? Because I don’t see it.

Heyward and Strasburg

are getting the most hype right now. Olney wrote today that Heyward should make the team out of spring training (see new post up top).
I think we will start to hear more hype when spring training games start next week.
I read today that Strasburg may also start the season in the majors.

Prospects

Also Desmond Jennings of the Rays, Justin Smoak of the Rangers, and Brian Matusz of the Orioles (although he had a cup of coffee last season)
