(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) Justin Morneau could be good. Sigh, what’s there to say about a former MVP who is still only 31 and just two years removed from a half-season where he batted .345 with 18 HR and 56 RBI? Is he another Jason Bay-- i.e., someone whose […]
Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Alcides Escobar
(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) Alcides Escobar is going to go as far as his legs can take him in 2013. His entire fantasy value is based on his speed, including how he gets on base and what he does once he's there. Escobar had 26 SB in 2011, and […]
Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Carlos Santana
(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) The “thing” I like most about Carlos Santana is the fact that he is a “catcher.” You see, (wink wink), he is a top-tier fantasy baseball "catcher," even though he will most likely play at least a third of his games at 1B or DH. […]

Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Cameron Maybin
Currently going after round 17 in most mixed leagues, Cameron Maybin is the poster child for a post-hype sleeper (see our Outfield Ranks and ADP Comparison). It feels like he’s been in the majors for years and that’s because he has-- he made his debut in 2007 at the age of 20; now six years […]

Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Aaron Hill
(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) Remember Aaron Hill’s name. He won’t have the same sleeper status in 2013 as he did in 2012, but he’s still not gaining the ADP respect that he deserves. Hill was at the top of the leaderboard for nearly every offensive category among 2B […]

Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper? Jordany Valdespin
If you're not a Mets fan, he's a punchline. If you are a Mets fan, you appreciate his potential but are probably a little turned off by his personality. Either way, with the Mets outfield being notoriously thin this year, and with the team lacking a true leadoff hitter with speed, it looks like Valdespin […]
