Curtis Granderson (OF, TOR) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~455 CURRENT ADP: 547 ANALYSIS: Curtis Granderson had a .212 batting average last season, which was low enough to sink your average category last year, but his .323 OBP and 26 long balls still provided some value. It would be hard to expect another BABIP as low as Granderson's .228  last year, but nothing […]

Brad Hand (RP, SD) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: 119 ANALYSIS: Brad Hand followed up a strong 2016 with a fantastic 2017 campaign in which he posted a 2.16 ERA (2.90 xFIP) with 21 saves and a 33.4% K% over 79 1/3 IP. His innings total is likely to go down with a full season in the closer's role, but the […]

Freddy Galvis (SS, SD) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~345 CURRENT ADP: 353 ANALYSIS: Freddy Galvis was boring roster glue at best last season, slashing .255/.309/.382 with 12 HR and 14 SB (five CS). The 28-year old is probably younger than you think he is, and the pedestrian numbers above mask the best plate discipline metrics of the shortstop's career (6.8% BB%, 16.7% K%). […]

Mitch Moreland (1B, BOS) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~275 CURRENT ADP: 406 ANALYSIS: Mitch Moreland had a 2017 line (.246/.326/.443 with 22 HR) that was far from impressive for a 1B, but it masks a lot of positive indicators in the 32-year old's profile. For instance, he bested his career BB% (9.9% vs. 8%) while simultaneously holding his career K% (20.8% to […]

Yangervis Solarte (2B/SS/3B, TOR) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~260 CURRENT ADP: 271 ANALYSIS: Yangervis Solarte personified mediocrity in 2017, slashing .255/.314/.416 with 18 long balls and a trio of steals. With eligibility at all three positions listed above plus seven games at first base, a competent batting line is really all Solarte needed to have fantasy value as a reserve. Yet there […]

Denard Span (OF, TB) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~400 CURRENT ADP: 442 ANALYSIS: Denard Span did a little of everything without excelling at anything in 2017, slashing .272/.329/.427 with 12 homers and 12 swipes (seven CS). That makes him a boring fantasy selection, but he's useful roster glue in short bursts or deeper formats. Span's home park really seemed to hurt him last year, […]

Christian Arroyo (SS/3B, TB) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~400 CURRENT ADP: 527 ANALYSIS: Christian Arroyo was dreadful in 135 MLB PAs last season, slashing .192/.244/.304 with three dingers. He was too good at Triple-A before his debut, slashing .396/.461/.604 with four big flies over 102 PAs on the back of a .427 BABIP. His full season Double-A statistics in 2016 (.274/.316/.373, three […]

Magneuris Sierra (OF, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~400 CURRENT ADP: 577 ANALYSIS: Magneuris Sierra was one of the prospects Miami received in the Marcell Ozuna deal, and he profiles as a better fantasy player than MLB one. His most notable fantasy skill is his speed, which grades as a 70 on the 20-80 scale. He only went 2-for-4 in SB attempts over […]

Dylan Bundy (SP, BAL) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~180 CURRENT ADP:  196 ANALYSIS: On the surface, Dylan Bundy wasn’t anything special in 2017. His 4.24 ERA looked very average and his 8.1 K/9 was pretty pedestrian during a time when so many seem to be in double digits. However, this was a step forward for the former first rounder that put him firmly on […]

Luiz Gohara (SP, ATL) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~275 CURRENT ADP:  291 ANALYSIS: When you see a big lefty who throws gas, you take notice. Standing 6-foot-3 and armed with a high-90s fastball from the left side, Luiz Gohara has the raw tools to dominate in the major leagues. Signed by the Seattle Mariners at 16 out of Brazil, Gohara was traded to the […]

Luis Castillo (SP, CIN) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~95 CURRENT ADP:  104 ANALYSIS: There has been a steady stream of praise for Luis Castillo since his impressive debut in 2017. Naysayers might point to the small sample size (89.1 innings pitched for Cincinnati), his low BABIP (.247) or his high strand rate (80.1%) and think regression. But don’t dismiss what he did in […]

Francisco Mejia (C, CLE) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~300 CURRENT ADP:  340 ANALYSIS: Francisco Mejia, though he has been a catcher throughout his minor league career, might get some action elsewhere in the 2018 season. In the Arizona Fall League this year, Mejia played third base, and on the Glendale website (the AFL team he played for), he was listed as an […]

Michael Kopech (SP, CWS) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~315 CURRENT ADP:  326 ANALYSIS: Kopech was a first round selection out of high school in 2014, so it's pretty incredible that he's going to make an impact in the majors in 2018. He has reportedly hit 105 on the radar gun and is capable of regularly touching triple-digits. He has extreme upside in […]

Austin Hays (OF, BAL) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~350 CURRENT ADP:  361 ANALYSIS: Austin Hays was selected in the third round in 2016 and the Orioles fast-tracked him to the big leagues. They placed him in Single-A to end 2016 where he hit a robust .336/.386/.514 in 38 games. He started 2017, his first full professional season, in Double-A, and ended it with […]

Brent Honeywell (SP, TB) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~260 CURRENT ADP: 276 ANALYSIS: Brent Honeywell took the minor leagues by storm in 2015 by posting a 3.18 ERA, 1.051 WHIP, 8.9 K/9, and 4.78 K/BB between Low-A and High-A. He entered the MLB Pipeline Top 100 (checking in at #43) prior to the 2016 season and hasn't stopped producing since. Many expected Honeywell to […]

Miguel Andujar (3B, NYY) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~350 CURRENT ADP: 488 ANALYSIS: Miguel Andujar is likely to be the starting third baseman for the Yankees on Opening Day, and sometimes opportunity provides more fantasy value than talent. Fortunately, Andujar has both. The Dominican stands about six feet tall and weighs in at around 215 pounds. He's hit .274/.323/.412 across six seasons […]

Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~280 CURRENT ADP: 380 ANALYSIS: Randal Grichuk had a .238/.285/.473 triple slash line with 22 HR and six swipes in 442 PA in 2017; this is not quite enough to move the needle in fantasy, but prorating it to 600 PAs gets you to 30 HR. That's a pretty good start. That gives Grichuk a […]

Joe Musgrove (SP, PIT) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~350 CURRENT ADP: 411 ANALYSIS: Joe Musgrove's 4.77 ERA in 109 1/3 IP wasn't great, but the underlying 4.03 xFIP suggests that he deserved better. He was particularly enticing over 31 1/3 IP as a reliever last year, during which he compiled a 51.9% GB% and 25.8% K% (44.9% and 21.2%, respectively, for the […]

Colin Moran (3B, PIT) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~400 CURRENT ADP: 557 ANALYSIS: Colin Moran spent most of last season at Triple-A, where he slashed .308/.373/.543 with 18 HR in 338 PAs. His plate discipline marks were excellent (9.2% BB%, 16.3% K%), suggesting that he has an approach that will work well at the major league level if given an opportunity. His .323 […]

Felipe Rivero (RP, PIT) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~80 CURRENT ADP: 88 ANALYSIS: Felipe Rivero combined a sparkling 1.67 ERA with a 29.3% K% in 2017, making him among the most valuable relievers in the fantasy game. He did it with a fastball velocity spike (98.5 mph vs. 95.8 mph in 2016) that helped his entire arsenal play up. Rivero threw his fastball for […]

Zack Cozart (SS/3B, LAA) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: 225 ANALYSIS: Zack Cozart had an unimpressive track record going into 2017 and move to a pitcher-friendly park, from Cincinnati to Los Angeles are reason enough to ignore his impressive 2017 numbers (.297/.385/.548 with 24 HR). This view seems to have become common perception, allowing owners willing to look past […]

Carlos Santana (1B, PHI) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: 169 ANALYSIS: Carlos Santana hit .259/.363/.455 with 23 HR last season, making him a valuable asset in OBP leagues already. The change in ballpark alone, from Cleveland's Progressive Field to Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park, is likely to add roughly 33 percent to his long ball total, getting him to 30 bombs […]

Stephen Piscotty (OF, OAK) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~280 CURRENT ADP: 302 ANALYSIS: Stephen Piscotty had a .235/.342/.367 triple slash line with nine homers in 401 PA last season, which felt like a massive disappointment after the .273/.343/.457 with 22 long balls he compiled in 2016, but factors outside of anyone's control are likely responsible. Piscotty strained a hamstring in May […]
