Players that are falling lower than I think they should. Granted it may be because Yahoo has them ranked low in some instances, but out of 10 drafts these are the sleeper and over-rated players that I have found.
Going later than I would expect=Sleeping to a certain extent.

Thanks BigL. I've noticed alot of the same things through my Yahoo drafts. Definately something to keep in mind if you're doing one of your main leagues with people who don't frequent the Cafe.

I couldn't agree more about Barajas. I've drafted three teams so far, and have taken him with my final pick in all three. I'd much rather have him that late than spend a 12-15th rounder on someone who will most likely put up only slightly better numbers, if better at all.

They guy has won 19 or more games 3 out of the last 4 years - 19, 10, 20, 20
If you draft on past winning seasons, you're not gonna win many leagues. That is a poor indicator. While I have had him on my rosters 2 of the last 3 years in my money league, and I love the guy, he is going too high for my taste.
I've seen him go in the 3rd and early 4th in most every draft. I wouldn't take him that early, when the only other pitchers taken are Johan, Pedro, and Peavy. There are too many options available at that point to take him there.

Randy Winn
Agree with almost all of them, except this one. Last year, a year significantly above his career levels, he finished the year ranked 92. He's being drafted with an ADP of 103, when in prior years his ranking was in the 110-130 range. I don't think 103 is sleeper territory for him.
