ADP and RBI Leaders

Unless this is your first Fantasy season, you've heard the term ADP, which is short for Average Draft Position. It's a statistic that averages the results of multiple fantasy drafts and shows where each player is being taken. Multiple sites offer this free service. As the season nears players gain or lose favor with the drafting public. This can be due to a new team, a platoon situation, injury ECT. When this happens, a players ADP will change. At this time of year we start to get a sense of where the drafting managers put value. Over the next few days I will place ADP against statistical leaders from last year. When completed maybe together we can spot undervalued and overrated players. Tonight we start with all players with over 100 RBI last year.

RANK	PLAYER	RBI	ADP
1	Miguel Cabrera	126	3.1
2	Alex Rodriguez	125	15.9
3	Jose Bautista	124	53.7
4	Albert Pujols	118	1.2
5	Carlos Gonzalez	117	6.7
6	Vladimir Guerrero	115	91.1
7	Joey Votto	113	7.1
8	Delmon Young	112	104.1
9	Paul Konerko	111	70.6
10	Robinson Cano	109	9.7
11	Ryan Howard	108	15.9
12	Mark Teixeira	108	14.2
13	Dan Uggla	105	52.6
14	Evan Longoria	104	4.9
15	Casey McGehee	104	107.9
16	Ryan Braun	103	12.3
17	Adam Dunn	103	50.2
18	Matt Holliday	103	22.8
19	David Wright	103	10.1
20	Adrian Beltre	102	49.9
21	Corey Hart	102	108.7
22	David Ortiz	102	168.5
23	Adrian Gonzalez	101	8.6
24	Josh Hamilton	100	11.8
25	Adam LaRoche	100	196.8

The first thing I noticed was that there were only 25 players with 100+ RBI last year. I would have guessed higher. The range of ADP is 1.2-196.8, quite large under initial observation. 6 of the 25 will be on new teams as long as Vlad signs elsewhere. Will that increase or decrease production? Few will be changing position and other who were hurt last year obviously did not make this list. Take in the info for each stat this week and try to come up with some stat correlation vs ADP like I plan to do.
