SPECULATOR: 2019 Spring training tea leaves

Here at BaseballHQ, we generally warn against putting too much stock into spring training stats. The samples are small, the Arizona air is thin, and the competition is uneven—veterans are tinkering with new pitches, minor leaguers and split squads are commonplace, etc. But if we were to take a "what if"-type gander at the early returns, the Speculator space is the perfect place to do so.

At this point, we've got a few weeks of spring ball under our belts, and while we don't dive too deep into the stats themselves, we'll look to extract some value on those under-the-radar types getting extended looks in camp. The following guys are forcing their team's hand for a starting gig, should we speculate on them in our drafts? You be the judge....

Almost!
