- Adames began 2014 by posting a 98-game PAG score of 2.89 with LoA West Michigan (DET). The young SS packed his bags for Tampa Bay in the 2014 trade that sent David Price to the Tigers. He moved across the Midwest League to LoA Bowling Green (TB) where in his final 27 games he increased his PAG score to 3.19. If you’re in a dynasty format style fantasy league and are able to pluck minor leaguers off your waiver wire, take a chance on the young Adames. He’s that perfect “draft-stash-and-forget about” type of prospect that if you wait to act, you’ll lose out on a kid who could make you look like a genius years down the road.

- I like Field for many of reasons. Much like Jim favors those grinder, ground ball type pitchers, I always seem to gravitate toward those “mixed breed” hitters who combine a little of everything: batting average, speed, occasional home run pop and exceptional defense. Guys like Field deserve a late round flier and it’s guys like him that win you championships. Just have to be enough of a risk taker to follow through.

- Holding a consistent TPS rating since being drafted, Snell is a fantasy keeper/dynasty must-have as he projects as a solid #2 or #3 starter. Though he didn’t make a mention during the season, Snell is one of those low-key, “get the job done” arms, that should be available for your 2015 draft and would be end-game steal.

- Faria had one of the top TPS rates in the Rays system for 2013 coming out the Appy Leagues. As a 10th round pick out of high school, he was an easy selection to predict a possible breakout in 2014. Faria threw 119.2 innings including a complete game shut-out in 23 starts.

- The last time Schultz’s name appeared on the same list with Jacob Faria was back in February as I was drafting my breakout picks. As you already know, I went with Faria, but with the season that Schultz had, its proof positive that TPS is working. The right-hander posted a TPS rate in the 60’s for the second straight year (.068 in 2013) and backed it up with a solid year on the mound in 2014.
