Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

[CYYYFYYY]

We all have them.  Lets compare notes.  Who do you think will be a sleeper this year?   A young player?   An older player who will find his swing like Bonds or Thomas.   Share away.

whoever the mets got rid of will be a fantasy gem for the next 5 years<br />

[Fallon]

CoCo Crisp will score a lot of runs.<br />

<p>Hey guys,</p><p>&nbsp;Older guys that could have a great year:</p><p>&nbsp;Torii Hunter:&nbsp; Minnesota. </p><p>This guy can play!&nbsp; Even though last year he didn't have such a good year, he's gonna steal some bases and drive in runs.&nbsp; Look for him in late rounds if you need an outfielder.</p><p>Paul LoDuca:&nbsp; New York Mets.</p><p>&nbsp;The Mets are stacked this year offensively.&nbsp; They may have the best lineup in the league.&nbsp; Last year, once again not a good year, but look at his numbers in the past.&nbsp; He'll hit lower in the lineup after Delgado and you know he'll be on base.</p><p>Adrian Beltre:&nbsp; Seattle.</p><p>&nbsp;Another guy with a rough last season.&nbsp; He reported to camp early and is playing well already.&nbsp; Grab this guy in last rounds of your draft.&nbsp; Seattle should have a good offense this year.</p><p>Young guys ready for a breakout year.</p><p>&nbsp;Mark Prior: Chicago Cubs.</p><p>This guy is a great pitcher.&nbsp; He's had some freak injuries in the past, but he's got the best stuff in the majors.&nbsp; Look for a 20 win 300 strikeout year here.</p><p>Huston Street:&nbsp; Oakland.</p><p>Street could be the best closer in the game.&nbsp; And he's developing a change-up.&nbsp; Granted he's unproven, he could have a huge year.</p><p>&nbsp;<br />Thanks for listening.</p><p>&nbsp;<br />Paul<br />&nbsp;</p>

Chad Cordero...

[Iamnotatool]

<div align="left"><p>you cant count cordero, he was a sleeper last year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Grady Sizemore and Craig Hansen&nbsp;</p></div>

[El Mudo]

Wasn't Sizemore a sleeper last year?

And who saw Cordero coming? The guy was an unknown rookie....At least Huston Street had some Rep coming out of Texas...

<p>Matt Cain</p><p>Francisco Liriano</p><p>and not really a sleeper at this point, but Prince Fielder and if he gets called up Delmon Young.&nbsp; </p>

Utley?&nbsp; doesn't a 'sleeper' have to be someone who won't be picked in the first 2 rounds.&nbsp; he was a sleeper last year, but alot of cheatsheets this year have him ranked as the #1 second basemen.

[CYYYFYYY]

<p>I too like Cain.&nbsp; He should help you in ks and be a solid number 3 ptcher for you if not a number 2.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for Uttley being a sleepr!?!?!??&nbsp;&nbsp; He was a sleeper last year.</p>

My all sleeper team:<br /><br />C - Josh Willingham, Fla...Projected starter batting ca. 6th<br />1B - Ryan Howard, Phi....Maybe not a sleeper but not well known either<br />2B - Luis Castillo, Min....no longer injured, solid contact hitter, no power<br />3B - Garrett Atkins, Col...bet you didn't know he had almost 90 RBI in 519 AB 2005<br />SS - Bobby Crosby, Oak...sleeper? not sure...expect a big year<br />OF - Grady Sizemore, Cle...sleeper? not sure again...he's for real though<br />SP - Felix Hernandez, Sea...A Sleeper in Seattle...he's there #1 starter s<br />RP - BJ Ryan, Tor...So many opportunities this year, and in big spots...responds?<br />

[CYYYFYYY]

L. Castillo is an interesting pick.&nbsp; Many people including myself think he has nothing left.&nbsp;&nbsp; For the last few years his caught stealing numbers are alarmingly high but if he can get his speed back he can be a nice steal.&nbsp; GET IT STEAL!&nbsp; I KNOCK ME OUT!

I has Griffey last year and he was a fantasy stud, I plan on taking him high this year. He's not really a &quot;sleeper&quot;, just someone with a ton of past injuries that is amazing when healthy.
