| 2021-03-03 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Jake Cronenworth. Buying or selling? (Ryan from Des Moines) | I think the sell window might have passed with Kim's signing, or at least been put on hold. I worry that Cronenworth doesn't get to enough power or speed to be truly valuable in fantasy, even though I think he's a really excellent real life player. If you can sell him at the kind of hype levels he was getting last September, I'd sell. (Darius Austin) |
| 2021-02-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | With no DH, where does that leave Jake Cronenworth? (Ryan from Montreal) | Platooning at second base with Ha-seong Kim? (Mark Barry) |
| 2021-02-04 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What type of eta and projection do you see for ha-seong kim? Can he be a viable 2b option, enough to beat out profar etc. (dzemens from Toledo, OH) | No need to reinvent the wheel so here is my writeup on Ha-seong Kim from the Top-50 Signees from 2020/2021, noting also the Padres resigned Jurickson Profar to add even more competition:
The re-tooling Padres signed Kim to a four-year, $28-million deal to immediately slot in at second base. This comes on the heels of an excellent season in the Korea Baseball Organization, in which he hit .306/.398/.523 with 30 home runs and 23 stolen bases. Already, Kim has climbed into the Top 150 in redraft ADP on NFC since his signing. Now, time for the cold water… First, when was the last time a hitter from the KBO performed well in the majors? Jung Ho Kang and Eric Thames for a hot minute. Yet, Kang was coming off an epic .356/.459/.739 performance in the KBO, and Thames enjoyed back-to-back monstrous campaigns, including his 2015 season when he hit .381/.497/.790 with 47 homers and 40 stolen bases. (Notably, however, the KBO adjusted the ball in 2019 to mute offensive production. Of course, Mel Rojas also still hit .349/.414/.679 with 42 home runs, so, y’know.) Understandably, the transition from the KBO to Major League Baseball is difficult for hitters. The average fastball velocity in the KBO last year was 88-89 mph, approximately five mph slower than the majors. Even presuming Kim receives regular playing time, his offensive production likely will underwhelm. Next, Kim does not have loud tools, with most grading out around average. Standing at just 5-foot-9, Kim lacks a ton of raw power despite his gaudy home-run totals in the KBO. His game power routinely receives borderline average grades and mostly plays to the pull-side. Arguably, his best tool is his plus speed, which he—and, most importantly, the steal-happy Padres—likely will utilize often on the bases. Kim also possesses solid bat speed and plate discipline, as evidenced by his healthy strikeout-to-walk totals in the KBO, and he profiles as an average-to-above hitter in the majors. Finally, Jake Cronenworth enjoyed a breakout performance in 2020 before cratering over the final month. This swoon likely provided the impetus to acquire Kim. Still, Cronenworth will receive plenty of playing time, especially in a right-handed-heavy lineup, and likely will send Kim to the bench more often than many expect. Nevertheless, Kim is not without upside, though expectations should be tempered. If you’re seeking a rough statistical comparison, he profiles similarly to Kolten Wong, circa 2019, with a touch more power and a touch less batting average. That is quite a valuable fantasy player. For win-now teams, Kim should bump ahead of Lacy and Mitchell. However, Kim remains well outside of cracking the top four on this list. [New notes] At the moment, I think both Kim and Cronenworth are overvalued in redraft and dynasty leagues. I do not see Profar as a serious impediment to playing time considering he spent so much time in the outfield last year. That said, as a semi-full-time player, I could see Kim still amassing 500 PA over a full season. I think a .260/10/15 type performance over 500 PA is a reasonable expectation which plays in most formats. Kim will certainly begin the season in the majors absent some unforeseen issue.

| 2020-09-18 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What's your take on Jake Cronenworth moving forward? (Seymour Butz from Springfield ) | Guys like Cronenworth are incredibly My Jam. It's funny that he came from the Rays, because the Padres are running into a Rays-esque roster crunch, so it's possible that could hamper Cronenworth's value. Still, he should qualify at two, maybe three positions next year and he should be the good version of Chris Taylor from here, albeit with fewer strikeouts. I'm a fan. (Mark Barry) |
| 2020-09-25 16:00:00 (link to chat) | In a 14 team weekly h2h dynasty points league which of these players would you roster going into next season for a club well-positioned to win now and going forward - Nate Lowe, Hunter Dozier, Randy Arozarena and Jake Cronenworth are all currently on my roster. Available are Hampson, A Riley, McMahon, Jesus Aguilar, Jared Walsh, Brendan Rodgers, Willie Calhoun and Leody Taveras. I am also currently rostering Oneil Cruz and wondering if I should hold on a bit longer given his uncertain legal status.
My current prospects include Vaughn Brujan Cruz and KRobInson. Prospects still available include Alek Thomas Brennen Davis Jordan Groshans and Corbin Carroll.
Thanks for considering the question,
Dylan (dylanrox from Philly) | Some very enticing options there. For the MLBers, I really like Calhoun and Taveras--they'll be on a bad Texas team next year, but they should be centerpieces in that lineup. I would get in on Riley; the power upside is worthwhile even if the average will kind of suck. And I'd get in on Rodgers as well--we just haven't seen a healthy version of him for an extended run in the majors. Hampson and McMahon haven't really wowed, even with the Coors advantage, Walsh feels a bit flash-in-the-pan (but I'm prepared to be wrong there!), and Aguilar could be OK for a couple more years, but his skills should be easy enough to find. Of the prospects, I am heavy into Carroll, though I like all those names. I'd probably wait on Cruz's situation for a few weeks before cutting, but it isn't looking good right now. (Jon Hegglund) |
| 2020-09-02 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I imagine you will discuss Cronenworth's rise in a follow-up article. I certainly believe he will regress once we get more data and scouting reports can pinpoint his weaknesses. Would I be wise to flip him for a slumping Kingery in an OBP dynasty setting? (Mike from PA) | I do plan to discuss Jake Cronenworth in my article this week. No doubt he will regress, but I am mostly buying his bat. Small sample size, but he is 80th percentile in average exit velocity, 82nd percentile in hard hit rate, and even 93rd percentile in sprint speed. The big question was whether his power outbreak last year was a product of the PCL. It does not appear to be so. If anything, we may be too low on him.
I would hold Cronenworth over Kingery in an OBP dynasty. I believe Cronenworth is a .280/.350, 15-20 HR, ~10 SB type bat over a full season. While Kingery has more playable speed, his OBP may tap out around .320, if that, which is a big difference. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-09-02 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Hi Jesse! Love the rankings! I was wondering who the biggest risers and fallers where?
Also is Luis Robert keeps this up for the rest of the season how high do you think he could rank? (Alex from Texas) | I will list the risers/fallers in my upcoming article, but here is a sneak peak:
Risers: Kyle Lewis (+214), Anthony Santander (+170), Corbin Burnes (+135), Dominic Smith (+135) Fallers: Kirby Yates (-260), Oscar Mercada (-250), Mallex Smith (-150), Tommy Pham (-125) Plus, several players jumped from off to way up the rankings including Triston McKenzie (319) and Jake Cronenworth (354). As for Robert, he could climb into the top 15 by season end if he continues to rake. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-08-19 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Thanks for the chat, Craig.
What are your thoughts on Jake Cronenworth?
(GameofPricks from Where the voices guide) | This feels a little like a troll from someone who already knows, but I might as well just come out with it. I think he's overrated. He's been very good, but I think there's regression coming and that while he's a useful player (2-3 win type), the hype is a little much for me in certain circles. I do think it's great that the Padres took an extremely Rays-y player from the Rays and appear to be getting the better end of it, though. (Craig Goldstein) |
