Michael Brantley, Cleveland Indians
Average Draft Position: 50 OF, 186 Overall
2016 Stats: .231 AVG, .279 OBP, 5 runs, 0 home runs, 7 RBI, 1 stolen bases
2017 Outlook: Brantley is seven months removed from right biceps surgery and just getting back to on-field batting practice. It's unclear when he'll be ready to play.
That said, his average draft position suggests you're spending a 16th-round pick on him. At that point in the draft, you're taking players who will very possibly be off your roster by the time May rolls around. As such, you might as well go with an upside pick in Brantley, who had an absurd two-year average of .319/.382/.494 with 81 runs, 18 homers, 90 RBI and 19 stolen bases between 2014 and 2015.
At the worst, his recovery from injury doesn't go well and you drop him after a month. At the best, he returns to being a five-category stud. This is easily one of my favorite late-round gambles. (Getty)
