The age of a player can rightfully dictate a lot about the outlook we give on their expected production for the upcoming season.

The age of players is one such ticket to finding some of those possible values in all spots along the draft board.

We started our review of value vets by looking at a trio of veteran pitchers who are worth targeting in your draft, and we followed with a shift to veteran offensive players, beginning with notable veteran bats playing on the corners.
