Early 2009 Sleeper Picks

Fantasy Sleepers:

Ryan Spilborghs, CF, Colorado Rockies.

Seeing as he will be given the starting role outright, it would not be inconceivable to see a .295 average along with a 20 home run and 15 stolen base campaign. Obviously runs and RBI have more to deal with the team than the player, and I'm not so sure the Rockies are going to have the explosive offense a la Bichette, Burks, Walker, Galarraga and Castilla. Whether or not, this is a consistent .300 hitter throughout professional baseball, and he plays 81 games within the confines of the one and only, Coors Field.


Delmon Young, RF, Minnesota Twins.

This bat-throwing extraordinaire is not an unknown commodity around fantasy circles. In 2007 he posted career-highs of 13 jacks and 93 RBI. Only two years removed from these numbers, and a slightly disappointing first year in Minnesota, expect him to turn it around across the board. A .300 average, 20 homeruns, 100 RBI, and 18-22 steals. This is a guy that I would love to draft in the 8th-10th rounds of any draft. To put the icing on the cake, he will also be top 5 in AL outfielder assists.

Until next time,
Peace, Love, and Fantasy
