When you're going into your draft, you may be tempted to reach for certain players or wait on certain players. These are ten players I think you should reach for, ten hitters that I believe are being drafted too low. I'll provide you with where they are currently being drafted, along with where I think they should be drafted.

Robinson Cano (going in mid-3rd, take in 2nd): Robinson Cano proved last year that the past two years were not who he really was. Granted, it's not like he was terrible the past two years, but the power had dropped significantly. Then, he goes and hits 39 home runs last season and you have to wonder if that's legit. I believe it is, I think Cano's figured things back out and is back to being a big power hitter. Now, I don't think 39 home runs is going to happen again, but I think 25-30 is perfectly reasonable. His HR/FB rate may have elevated last season (19.3%), but it's honestly not all that far off from his career number of 14.5%. Cano should have a really good average, good power, and a real chance at another 100/100 season, I think he's worth reaching for.
