SPECULATOR: Searching for the next Cedric Mullins
Mar 23 2022
Around this time every year, I pose the following (seemingly impossible) question out on Twitter, the answer to which would win a lot of leagues:
From 2015-19, one player per year has put up first-round value from the 12th round or later (15 teamers):
2015: Keuchel
2016: Villar
2017: Judge
2018: Snell
2019: KMarte
2020: VoitHistory says another will do it this year. Who ya got?

Last year's answer? Cedric Mullins (OF, BAL), who delivered a 30/30 season with a .291 batting average, and with a preseason Average Draft Position (ADP) of 407, likely brought home plenty of hardware for his fantasy managers as well.
Finding this year's Mullins is a speculative task for sure, but if recent history is...
Almost!
