Sleepers!!!!

Postby melloyello » Mon Mar 09, 2009 2:28 pm

We already have a great thread on overrated players ;-D http://www.fantasybaseballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=370606

Now I want to flip the coin and hear about the man-crushes you're targeting in this year's draft. Who will outperform expectations this season?? Who should be bumped up in the sacred pre-draft rankings?

Well as for pitchers I like Liriano and Gallardo quite a bit...

I like Milledge where he's going.

Billy Butler is going undrafted - yes please.

For deep sleepers in the middle infield, I like A.Cabrera - great 2nd half stats when he was recalled.

There are a number of other guys I like, but these are just a few off the top of my head.

hmmm....

jose lopez seems to go later than he should..ended up top 4 among 2b last year

josh anderson from atl if you need some steals.

choo out of cleveland was on a tear after the allstar break last year and you can get him quite late.

i always really like lirano and gallardo this year. also big on ubaldo this year too

Jayson Werth. He's got power and long lanky legs (good thing B-) ). Has great fantasy players batting around him. Was a 20/20 man last year and should get another 100 ABs this year.

And I still haven't seen him taken higher than a 4rd outfielder. I'm just saying, he should be a solid 3rd outfielder at least this year.

Aaron Hill for 2b and Brandon Wood at SS/3B if he gets any playing time. I also like Khalil Greene at SS outside Petco for some reason.

I wouldn't call these my man-crushes or sleepers per se but more of value picks that I seem to wind up with in my drafts and mock drafts:

Heath Bell
Paul Konerko
Jayson Werth
Raul Ibanez
Max Scherzer
Kaz Matsui
Mike Cameron
Kenshin Kawakami

Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.
