I love Gelof. Huge pickup for me, helped win a couple leagues.
Agree the power is legit. The Athletic I believe had an article breaking down his swing; said it was a “softball swing,” usually not conducive to the majors but he makes it work, helps him pull the ball.
Speed is real and he’s a smart kid.
Doing my first NFBC drafts (50s/gladiators) and have him 2x. One draft I panicked needing SB and took Kim in the 5th. Would’ve been better waiting 4-5 rounds for Gelof.
I probably should have asked here instead of on X, but would you rather have Trevor Story or Gelof for next season? They both will be locks in their lineups I believe and given the team context I would think Story would have better numbers if he stays healthy. That being said, Story has spent a lot more time on the IL with the Red Sox and when he’s been on the field it’s been rough to watch minus that huge hot streak in 2022 and some steals this past season. It’s early and things will likely change, but at this point I seem to find myself wanting Story slightly more due to the track record, even though lately it’s been ugly to watch. What do you think?
At Story's price it's hard to disagree. I love that Gelof was healthy last year and much younger, but I do think Story is in for a nice bounce back and provides nice value right now in drafts.

That's the beauty of doing the early drafting so you know you can wait. I have him in almost every league I've done so far haha.
Just seeing this.
Wish I’d checked back sooner. I just went Altuve and waited on OF- not great!
