Sleepers

SLEEPERS

As we are in the heart of baseball draft season, I figured it would be a good time to unveil my list of sleepers for 2008. So without further ado:

Austin Kearns: I think this is the year that the perennial sleeper finally breaks out. He’s got a better line up than last year and (possibly more importantly) a better hitter’s ballpark.

Dustan McGowan: He’s the number three starter for the Blue Jays, but he’s the first starter that I would take off of that team.

Jake Westbrook: Here’s a guy that I love to put on the back end of the rotation of any fantasy squad and you won’t have to worry about him. He had a down year last year with some injury issues. He’s about as dependable as they come and has the opportunity to get you 12-14 wins on a very good Cleveland team.

Luke Scott: I think Luke Scott is in line for a break out year this year. He’ll finally get the opportunity to play every day and will be playing in pretty decent hitters park.

Jason Kubel: He started to show his power at the end of the last season. I think he’s finally over his knee injuries and could be a very productive hitter as the Twins DH.

Zack Greinke: I think this one time uber-prospect will really solidify his position as a solid fantasy starter this year. He really pitched well down the stretch last year and I think that will carry over into this year.

Well, there you have it. There’s my list of potential sleepers for this year. Hopefully if they make they’re way to your team, they’ll be as productive as I predicted.
