I just ahd Chase Utley fall to me well past #100. I took him even though I own Cano. Is there a reason he dropped this far of which I am unaware? What do you look for from him this season?

His knees seem like they're shot, robbing him of his power. He's still an excellent base runner and will pick his spots to grab 15 stolen bases or so. I'd hope for 145 games, .280/15/15 as a Phillies fan. As a roto player, I'm paying for 130 games, .265/12/15.
I think the panning on Utley is a little much and still see 20/15 out of him. Combine that with his good on base skills and he is still 5th or 6th in MLB 2B.
After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”
It's just really hard to trust him. He's a smart guy so he should still be able to steal 10-12 bags, but his wheels are shot, which limits his upside in SBs and also his AVG. He could easily miss 30-40 games again. The Phils' lineup is still pretty good but it's not great. I do think his BABIP comes back a little bit, but I wouldn't pay for more than .275-17-75-65r-12sb or so.
Where will he hit in the lineup? Maybe more runs and less RBis.
Entirely depends on the league. I'm buying at his adp in shallower leagues because I can find a quality replacement when he's on the shelf. Deeper or only leagues is tougher. I'd need to find room for another 2B somewhere on my roster and I hate limiting myself this early in the draft/auction. Wouldn't fault someone for doing it 2-3 rounds lower than his adp, I'd probably do the same.
