We're still in the "small sample size" part of the season, but I think it's interesting to look at some of the guys who are performing above expectations who might be setting a new standard rather than just setting themselves up for regression.
A couple who I've focused on:
Willson Contreras - ADP fell from 60 to 120 from the 2018 draft season to 2019. At minimum I think he can split the difference. The .276/.356/.499 line from 2017 with 21 HR in 377 AB indicates a high bar for the talent level. He's started off red hot and while he can't continue this pace I think he was selling too low in draft season..
Yoan Moncada - The .238 career BA probably scares off a lot of potential buyers, but his power/speed combo make up for it. With just 211 career games coming into the season I think he's still on his way up, and the hot start is encouraging.
Who else you got?
