The Big Bat Theory Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Wow we never knew. So glad he is doing good now: Quote Cedric Mullins revealed Wednesday via MLB Players Media that he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2020. Mullins first started feeling symptoms in the spring of 2020 but played through the pandemic-affected season with the help of antibiotics before undergoing surgery on his intestines that November. He lost 20 pounds and admitted to having doubts about how he could perform physically heading into 2021, but the dynamic 27-year-old center fielder put all of those doubts to rest while breaking through for 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 159 games with the Orioles. Mullins is now going as a top-35 player in early fantasy drafts for 2022. Source: MLB Players Media Feb 2, 2022, 2:27 PM ET 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mush Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Expecting major regression in the HR department due to the fences pushed back. I expect more of a 80-15-40-25 .275 line this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a lefty and I could be wrong but I dont think he hit an oppo HR there all year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mountcastle has the power to hit pretty deep homers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw the other comment, thanks for repeating it to make yourself feel superior. I haven't done any HW with the lockout but I'm glad you can repeat what others said. I still expect HR regression regardless of my lack of HW Edited February 8 by Eddie Mush 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he's falling a little too far in many drafts. That and the Orioles were tossing around the idea of trading him prior to the lockout. So the fences may not even matter.

I owned him last year (and this year as a keeper) and he was just the gift that kept on giving. Idk how he kept it up. I hope he has the underlying metrics to back it up but I understand the negative perception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRoSPx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Fences in, fences out, he's likely due for some regression. Know I say this being a huge Cedric Mullens fan. He did me well last year. He's a great story. I'd really love for him to prove me wrong. But his 2nd half he dropped 99 points in OPS. But he he still had an .822 OPS in the 2nd half last year. I'm conflicted on him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he he still had an .822 OPS in the 2nd half last year. I'm conflicted on him this year. Why? Fences don't hurt him at all as explained above. And if Crohn's disease couldn't stop him I doubt pitchers can. I think his drop-off last year at the end was because he was pushing for that 30/30 record too hard. O's were out of it as usual and all the media attention in Baltimore was focused on him. So he was swinging for the fences more than normal trying to get to that 30 home run plateau.

jmcampbe11 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Is it possible to think guy is both overrated AND underrated? Because that's how I feel about Mullins. Overrated in the sense that I expect some regression, but underrated in the sense that I think he'll probably out perform his ADP. I mean, would you rather take a chance on a 33 year old Starling Marte or a 27 year old Cedric Mullins knowing that stolen bases typically don't age as well as the other counting stats? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dislimb Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 His current ADP is 37 and I find that comically low. He’s a 2nd rounder in roto for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're drafting him that high then he's probably not worth the risk. If he falls to the mid to late 20s that's when it starts to become worth the risk IMO.

Overlord Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Surprisingly, it seems like Cedric Mullins is being consistently drafted/auctioned pretty much according to his value last season. And that's what scares me ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullins was an easy fade for me at that ADP, but even so I can’t imagine many leagues where dropping him isn’t a really stupid move. Yes, I’d easily scoop him up with a high waiver priority. His underlying metrics on his Baseball Savant page (https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/cedric-mullins-656775?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb) look very similar to last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped? Jeez. He hasn't even been THAT bad. Yea, .217 stinks, but the counting stats are fine. 71st rated player in my league. Disappointing, but miles from being droppable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
