Nick Markakis had an ADP of 26 this year at ESPN. In my money league he went for $26. I’ve got him pegged with my early projections for next year at only $16 in value. While he’s young enough to have a breakout season, so far it hasn’t come. This is what I’ve got him projected for: 90 Runs, 20 HR, 90 RBI, 7 SB and .300 AVG. Not bad numbers, in fact, very good numbers, and with his already above .5 BB/K all three years in the majors very stable numbers. But his SB have fallen ever year, and I really don’t think they will be coming back. And 20-25 HR is nothing that interesting either.
It’s still early, hell, the season only ends today. This thing could go two ways. Either everyone will realize that Markakis is overrated and shove it down our throats next spring until he’s actually underrated, or no one will notice at all, and he will continue to command too high of a price.
