Calgary’s 2017 first round pick came into his own last season, recording 11 points in 49 games despite seeing slightly less PT than he did in his rookie campaign. Valimaki isn’t likely to light up the scoresheet, yet he did actually lead Flames defensemen in A/60 last season, so there’s potential here. He’s getting solid third pairing minutes and twice this week in a three-game span he recorded four minutes in penalties, so can provide a boost in leagues that track that. Consider Valimaki in very deep formats for now, but don’t be shocked if he becomes a bigger asset as the season progresses.

That’s some impressive opposition to look good against, so consider giving him a chance down the stretch. Woodford has managed to reduce his medium-hit contact while raising his soft-hit contact, so he’s clearly made strides since his debut last season. It’s been a slow rise up the system for the 24-year-old righty, but remember that this dude was a first round supplemental pick (39th overall) back in 2015.

Hedges is actually hitting better since the All-Star break, but honestly, this is just a pick for those desperate for a healthy catcher in a deep AL-only league. We’ll give him this: he’s having the best baserunning season of his career.
