Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pro's MLB.

This is the Fantasy Baseball podcast.

And it's me Joey P.

Joe P. Zapia with my two best friends, Joe Rico and the Welsh.

And we are here to talk baseball because that's what we do on the channel. Subscribe to the channel. The season is just around the corner. WBC action this weekend was really fun. I watched a bunch of games. The Dominican walkoff was amazing. We had the United States team playing some high school kids. It was crazy. It's crazy stuff there. And of course, today on the show,

we're going to talk about the must-haves, the drafts, the guys that we don't want to leave drafts without, and you shouldn't either. So again, make sure you go to fantasypros.com. Make sure you use

all the tools. Download the fantasy pros draft wizard and sync all your leagues for free to use the

in-season tools and the draft tools. And I'm going to talk with these two tools about the players they got to have in 2026. Let's start off here talking about players outside the top 50 ADP that we think should be in the top 25. Welsh, why don't you start us off with two guys that you think are being undervalued going into drafts and that you are drafting. I thought we were going to do like tool songs. We were going to like schizm. I don't know. Is tool songs really something you sing along to? I feel like it's more of a vibe. Definitely not sing a long time. You don't get in the car and we're like, you know, bohemian rhapsody. Nobody's cranking up the tool with the windows open. I don't feel like, you know. but we're just like, yeah, that's how we're rolling.

But we're not going to talk about tool. No, no, no, no. We're not going to sing. I actually just listen to some tool the other day. I grew up loving it, but I'll stop being a tool and we'll talk about the players that you guys want to actually draft. So in this, uh, this vibe of like players you can't leave your draft without or you've got to take the foundation.

I think the number one guy is Michael Garcia, especially if we're going to be taking a look

and having that parameter of like outside the top 50, it definitely starts narrowing.

It narrows what we're looking at for an elite player.

But one thing I was looking at and this became funny, I thought Geraldo Pardomo was actually kind of one of those baseline players. Like, if you look at what he did last year, he was a five category player. And if I'm going to put a player outside the top 50 that, you know, should or could be a top 25, let's pick a top 25 overall or a five tool type of player like Geraldo Prado.

But Prado's cost has gone up this year.

So one of the next best bets is a guy like Mikel Garcia who also does a little bit of

everything.

His runs in RBI leave a little bit to be desired.

But 16 homers, 23 stolen bases.

He hit 286 last year.

Unlike Prudomo, he's got some really like high-end batting metrics.
