This thread contains comments on Madison Jones's Sleeper "Chan Ho Park", which was featured in the Cafe's Sleepers section on July 9, 2008. The full article can be read here.
This is actually quite tough to type and you might think I’ve lost my mind, but the pitcher I’m referring to is none other than Chan Ho Park.
Yes Maddy, you have lost your mind.
His four starts have been against San Fran, LAA, Cleveland and LAA again. Not exactly the cream of the crop for run scoring.
I think you should have made this a warning or anti-sleeper piece
Yep, I'm insane.
But he did do well against the Angels, twice, and the Angles have faced him (and lit him up) several times.
And we really needed a new sleeper piece.

Haha, not a chance.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
In all seriousness, this is the first time in quite a while that he's been this healthy. His velocity is back up and even though the teams he faced of late (the Angels in particular) looked frazzled, swinging at bad pitches, it's nice to see that his K rate is back up and filling in as a suitable enough starter in the Dodger rotation.
Bah, stupid timing. If I had actually submitted this before his last start (I wrote it but couldn't bring myself to submit it ) I'd have looked ok. Ah well...
Anyone got a new sleeper?

I was thinking Garret Anderson is flying under the radar again. He's had a monster August/September run the last two seasons. If anyone feels he's sleeper worthy I'd be more than happy to do a write-up about him.
