Sidearmer 2,114 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 With the Lindor trade, Gimenez moves to Cleveland where he should be locked into an every day role. He appeared in 23 games at SS, 19 at 2B, and 10 at 3B last season, so he should carry all three positions in virtually all platforms. His ADP right now is mostly irrelevant, but to me this vaults him into consideration at end of drafts. He has decent pop (8-12 HR?) and good speed (20-30 SB?), which given every day playing time and elite positional eligibility, he is someone to consider. Roster Resource is projecting him as the lead off hitter as of now. Not sure if that will stick, but its another potential addition to his value. I hope to get some shares before Spring Training as his value will only continue to go up as the offseason progresses. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thenewwildone8 782 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Shhhh he’s one of my top sleepers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrypTviLL 833 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I like him, but I don't think there's a TON to get excited about good runs/speed, low power, probably mediocre avg, lil to no RBIS. Solid deeper league MI or end of the draft pick in shallower leagues Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CuredMeats 62 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Seems like a better real life guy than fantasy, since fielding is a big part of his game. Maybe a fantasy asset if he can add some power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent late source of SBs and could be a bit of an "accumulator" as well if he hits in front of Naylor/JoRam/Reyes all year. Steamer has him for .254/.310 - 13 - 60 - 61 - 23 and I'll take over on the runs but the rest looks like a fair call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd give him about 100 more and a 27 steal floor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weekday Warrior 189 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The low batting average, low walk rate is going to make him tough to roster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
89Topps 2,598 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Could start the season in AAA. Looks like he's creeping up towards pick 100. I'm likely out at that price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At NFBC, I set ADP from the date of the trade to today and I am seeing 166. This seems reasonable to me. The service time could be an issue, but that depends on if they actually add another body which I don't know if they will want to spend to even do that. I'm also not sure how much they can gain as Gimenez appeared in 49 games last year. It would really be pushing it if they kept him down to manipulate service time.

I was just going off the comments in that tweet thread where he went 119. Will have to monitor if that ADP continues to rise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will have to monitor if that ADP continues to rise. If he was guaranteed to start in the majors I wouldn't be surprised to see it keep rising. As it stands now, I think 166 is a nice value. He is projected to be top 10 in SB per Steamer and has multi position eligibility at 3 premium positions. Would be surprised if he's not below 150 by March. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
