Rolling In The Deep: Don’t Always Overlook The Old Guys

It's been a crazy first half-week of baseball, and I'm already struggling a bit trying to keep up with tracking the waiver wire in all of my leagues.  As often happens even after months of offseason research, the first few box scores of the season have featured a handful of surprise names in terms of who's contributing fantasy stats.  Instead of looking at a few of the young up-and-comers who've already made contributions that we may not have been expecting based on our winter planning, I've decided that this post should instead be dedicated to some names we were already plenty familiar with but may have passed right over.  It's been hard for our heads not to be turned -- and perhaps rightfully so -- by the Jonathan Indias and the Akil Baddoos of the baseball world (both of whom we've already chatted about over the past couple of weeks).  But here at Rolling In the Deep, we'll take one for the Razzball team this week, and concentrate on the Island of Misfit Toys rather than exciting shiny new objects.  To earn a blurb below, each player needed three qualifications:  to be age 30 or older, to have been basically left for dead (or in this case between #570 and #700)  in terms of ADP this year, and to have had at least one impressive/helpful game fantasy-wise to start the 2021 season.  Not gonna lie, those qualifications proved a bit more challenging than I thought they'd be, bringing us to the names below.
