Alekhine, you'll find YPL incredibly softer than the NFBC leagues. It's definitely trickier getting value in those drafts.
In terms of the whole 'he's on absolutely nobody's radar but has monster upside' or 2017's Trevor Story I give to you Domingo Santana
I was big on this guy last year but I think this year is the time you cannot not draft him. Dude has insane power, 3rd highest average exit velocity in the majors and a HR/FB that makes sense given how hard he smashes ****. His problem was that he didn't really hit THAT many fly balls so his home run total went completely under the radar
Look at last season on a month to month basis. Declining GB rate each month, 50% first half, 35% second half. HR/FB monstrous both halves. Yes, the sample is small, but he did demonstrate a change in approach in the 2nd half that translates unbelievably if it holds especially given he will almost certainly hit no lower than 4th in the opening day lineup
