Eno and DVR break down the first base position, where playing time shares could be increasing at the bottom end of the player pool with the expected return of the DH to the National League. Once again, the position features a few undervalued sluggers, overvalued veterans, and mid-tier targets (and players to avoid).Follow Eno on Twitter: @enosarrisFollow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRipere-mail: ratesandbarrels@theathletic.comSubscribe to the Rates & Barrels YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrelsGroups by NFBC ADP TiersTier 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. & Freddie FreemanTier 2Matt Olson, Paul Goldschmidt, Pete Alonso & Jose AbreuTier 3Ryan Mountcastle, DJ LeMahieu, Jared Walsh, Jake Cronenworth, C.J.

Eno and DVR break down the third base position, which offers a handful of intriguing mid-round values, but might require some early attention given the drop-off at the position outside the Top 200 overall. Is Austin Riley catching too much helium coming off of an excellent 2021? Should you pay the Adalberto Mondesi Tax? Is there still early-round potential in the likes of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rendon? Plus, if you wait at the position, where you can find undervalued players outside the Top 100?Follow Eno on Twitter: @enosarrisFollow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRipere-mail: ratesandbarrels@theathletic.comSubscribe to the Rates & Barrels YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrelsGroups by NFBC ADP TiersTier 1José Ramírez, Rafael Devers & Manny MachadoTier 2Austin Riley & Adalberto MondesiTier 3Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Kris Bryant & Anthony RendonTier 4DJ LeMahieu, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Yoán Moncada, Luis Urías, Justin Turner, Ryan McMahon, Matt Chapman, Eduardo Escobar & Eugenio SuárezTier 5Josh Donaldson, Jeimer Candelario, Abraham Toro, Cavan Biggio, Gio Urshela, Josh Jung, Jonathan Villar, Alec BohmBest of the RestJose Miranda, Kevin Smith, Mike Moustakas, Evan Longoria & Brian Anderson Hosted on Acast.
