Fantasy: All-Sleeper Team

30. March 2008  - Published by Dan Clasgens

With the rest of my fantasy team getting into action on Monday, it's time to offer up my All-Sleeper Fantasy Team for 2008:

1B: Conor Jackson - ARI
Has displayed an increase in power this spring and figures to be a great late-round steal

2B: BJ Upton - TB
OK, so he's not a sleeper. Still, many casual players will pass him by. Enjoy the 2B-eligibility while it lasts.

3B: Hank Blalock - TEX
He's going to hit cleanup for the Rangers; he finished with a 900 OPS in 58 games last year after returning from injury.

SS: Rafael Furcal - LAD
Another guy coming off an injury-riddled year that is going to come at a big discount.

OF: Josh Hamilton - TEX
This guy is for real and if he can prove to stay healthy could be a top 10 outfielder for sure.

OF: Ryan Church - NYM
Finally gets a crack at 500 AB's. He has nice pop in his bat and could help in the power catagories.

OF: Corey Patterson - CIN
Has landed the starting job in center with Reds; Griffey's injury history offers some security and ballpark brings upside.

C: Geovony Soto - CHC
The kid tore it up during his cup of coffee last year and is worth a shot if you wait around for a backstop.

SP: Matt Cain - SF
Wins are going to be hard to come by in San Fran this year, but Cain is a great guy to have as your No. 2 pitcher.

SP: Zack Greinke - KC
The kid is still only 24 and seems to have found his stroke. He's eligiblie in most leagues as a SP and RP.

RP: Matt Capps - PIT
The best of the no-name closers this year after closing down the door in 18 of 20 tries in '07.

I don't know who loves Patterson, Dan or Dusty? For the record, I like Patterson too, but just not as much as Dan.

I don't agree with Patterson. He won't be starting May 1. Church is not a bad choice, but there may be better 'sleeper' outfielders available - Lastings Milledge for one. And speaking of the Nationals, I like Nick Johnson. That lineup is not too bad and he could tear it up in a new ballpark.
