The term sleeper is overused and commonly confused in fantasy sports. Too many people confuse the concept of a player being undervalued (i.e. a player getting drafted in the seventh round that is going to return fifth round value) versus a player being a true sleeper. When I think sleeper, I think Rip Van Winkle. […]

Five Undervalued Shortstops for 2015 So you've had a great draft, taking the best player available in each round. You are reasonably certain you will contend in all categories, and then you remember that you still need to fill a SS and MIF slot and it is Round 17. Ugh. While shortstop can be a […]
Full Story »Mike Moustakas (3B, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft in Late Rounds as 3B/CI/UTIL ANALYSIS: Mike Moustakas was at one time rated as the best pure hitter in the entire Royals system. That was way back in 2008. Moustakas has taken a mighty tumble since that time bottoming out last season hitting .212. But the night is always darkest before the […]
Full Story »Henderson Alvarez (SP, MIA) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in Middle Rounds ANALYSIS: One of the biggest pitching breakouts of 2014 was Henderson Alvarez. Last season, he went 12-7 with 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 18 quality starts in 30 opportunities. He did so well that he will be handed the ball on opening day for the Miami Marlins. According to the […]
Full Story »Garrett Richards (SP, LAA) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in the Early to Middle Rounds in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Garrett Richards impressed a lot of people last year, putting up ace-like numbers through 26 starts until his knee injury in late August. Had it not been for that injury, Richards could have an ADP falling in rounds six through eight along with […]

Full Story »Jesse Hahn (SP, OAK) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~240 Overall ANALYSIS: It’s not often that minor league statistics can be used to predict the performance of a future major leaguer, but when it comes to Jesse Hahn, it’s safe to say the writing has been on the wall all along. Hahn has just 73.1 innings of major league experience, but in […]
Full Story »Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft Target Late in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Scooter Gennett now holds the reigns at second base for the Milwaukee Brewers, since Rickie Weeks has departed. He's flying under the radar in most fantasy drafts with an ADP of 283, even thought many people feel he could end up being a top 10 player in a weak position. I tend […]
Full Story »Leonys Martin (OF, TEX) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 Overall ANALYSIS: The Texas Rangers recently announced that Leonys Martin would be their everyday leadoff hitter, which should give his fantasy value a nice boost. Martin stole nine of his 31 bases last season after the Rangers inserted him into the leadoff spot in September. Martin also improved his contact and walk rates, and […]
Full Story »Russell Martin (CA, TOR) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 Overall ANALYSIS: Russell Martin hit .290/.402/.430 (all bests since 2007) and finished seventh among C in 2014, but is being ranked just 13th for 2015. I understand the skepticism among fantasy owners, but he did improve his BB% (12.8%) and K% (17%) in 2014 and was surrounded by a much-improved Pirates offense. In Toronto, he’ll be […]
Full Story »Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft in Middle Rounds of All Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays middle-of-the-rotation starter Jake Odorizzi had a pretty solid season in 2014, compiling an 11-13 record, a 4.13 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and 174 strikeouts in 168 innings of work. The former first round draft pick has never dazzled at the minor league level, but […]
