Sleeper of the Year

[StLrEdBiRdS2004]

as of now t walker is backing up grudzielanek in CHI, but he would prob take over the pos by the time the season begins.

My "Sleepers" of the year, by position:

C: Molina, B. ANA (New additions to Ana lineup will allow him to see better pitches)
1B: Konerko ChW (Many will "forget" about him PART1)
2B: Walker, T. ChC (Very "under-rated")
3B: Crede ChW (Poised for "break-out" season)
SS: Crosby Oak (Tejada will not be missed, well not totally,atleast)
OF: Cabrera Fla (Alot like Andruw Jones, only 20)
OF: Burrell Phi (Many will "forget" about him PART2, 35+ HR guy)
OF: Gerut Cle (quietly hit .279/22/75/4 last year in 127 games)
SP: Peavy SD (Jason Schmidt wasn't an All-Star overnight, either. This guy's got a solid 210 IP IN him and with SD's improved offense, 15+ wins is not a stretch)
MR: King, R. STL (Should get the call to set-up before Kline, quietly had 18 or so holds last year)
CL: Chacon COL (In addition to SP/RP eligibility, he'll get you around 30 saves and just maybe, the next Smoltz or Gagne success story???...naw...but you'll get him cheap

interesting list...

yeah...unfortunately i had Part 1 and Part 2 on my roster last year in the inaugural draft of our deep keeper league. lets hope.

Not bad.

I don't think that Crosby will come anywhere close to replacing Tejada though. We'll see.

apparently the sleeper of the year is Barry Lamar Bonds ...

Your "list" is ok but you "used" way too many "quotations" when explaining each "player".



BTW: Cabrera and Crosby aren't sleepers, they're going fairly early. And Todd Walker is a bench warmer as of now. Could change, but they signed Grudz to a new contract so Walker won't get a lot of AB like last season and he's in a worse lineup.

[HOOTIE]

Milton with a 3.50 era, and 17 to 20 wins? Rather large projectons for a guy who's best era was 4.32, and has won over 13 once.

[LBJackal]

Personally I don't think he'll be all that good, but career highs are possible. He in in the NL now and doesn't face a DH, and also has a much better offense. I still won't draft him though.
