Josh Harrison (2B/3B/OF, PIT) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~160 CURRENT ADP: 225 (22nd round in 10-team leagues) ANALYSIS: Let's start by saying there's no way Josh Harrison's current ADP sticks around the 22nd round. I'd assume most of these rankings were completed before Neil Walker was shipped to New York (N), opening the door for playing time for Harrison. As of this moment, Harrison is in […]

Randal Grichuk (OF, STL) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target in middle rounds CURRENT ADP: 189 ANALYSIS:  Despite a strikeout rate north of 30 percent, Grichuk managed to hit .276 last season. Paired with 17 homers, 96 R+RBI, and four steals in just 350 plate appearances, that made him a pretty nifty in-season pickup for many fantasy owners. Normally, a middling walk […]

David Peralta (OF, ARI) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target in early-to-middle rounds CURRENT ADP: 135 ANALYSIS:  David Peralta was one of the most under-the-radar breakouts during the 2015 season, hitting .312/.371/.522 with 17 homers and nine steals as he played his way into the Diamondbacks' starting left field gig. Only four other hitters managed to hit .300 while also producing an […]

Toronto Blue Jays Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

The Toronto Blue Jays had one of the best offenses since the Big Red Machine of the mid-70s.
