Fantasy Baseball: Re-drafting the first two rounds for the rest of 2021, starting with Ronald Acuna

Believe it or not, we're about a quarter of the way through the 2021 season.

One reason you may not believe it because you're still waiting for your first- or second-round pick to return something on the investment. Yes, the hitters in particular have been a little slow out of the gate.

Injuries are partly to blame. The new baseball may also be having an effect, though I think it's less true for this class of hitters than for those further down the ranks. You may be wondering, though, if that early-round dud of yours is retaining his value. If, by chance, we were redrafting today, would he still go in the same spot, or would some of the early-season risers surpass him?

To answer that question, among others, I've taken it upon myself to model what the first two rounds would look if we were redrafting today for the rest of 2021. To be clear, nobody gets credit for anything a player has done already, just what he does from today forward.

As you can see, many of the names would remain the same, if drafted in a slightly different order, but there are also several newcomers, particularly in the second round.
