Niko Goodrum (1B/2B/SS/OF, DET) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~260-270 CURRENT ADP: ~284 overall ANALYSIS: Niko Goodrum is on pace to start the year as Detroit’s everyday shortstop, but has insane versatility that allows him to fill in wherever needed. Goodrum delivered a 12 home run/12 stolen base season in just 112 games last year, with 15/15 available on the cheap […]

Kole Calhoun (OF, ARI) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~280 CURRENT ADP: ~298 overall ANALYSIS: Kole Calhoun hit .232/.325/.467 with 33 HR over 632 PAs for the Angels in 2019 before signing with Arizona as a free agent. Thirty-three bombs are nothing to sneeze at, and his peripherals suggest that his power uptick was real. Calhoun's 22.9% HR/FB last season was […]

Kevin Newman (2B/SS, PIT) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~170s CURRENT ADP: ~192 overall ANALYSIS: Kevin Newman didn't begin the 2019 season on most fantasy owners' radar, but by the year's end, he had cemented himself as an excellent middle-infield option. The 26-year-old slashed an impressive .308/.353/.446 as a rookie, with 12 home runs, 16 stolen bases, and respectable run production in […]

Jean Segura (2B, PHI) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~170s CURRENT ADP: ~191 overall ANALYSIS: Jean Segura underachieved, for his standards, in his first season with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2019. He slashed .280/.323/.420 with 12 HR, 79 R, 60 RBI, and 10 stolen bases as some minor injuries limited him to 144 games. Segura disappointed the most on the base paths, […]

Luke Voit (1B, NYY) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~170 CURRENT ADP: ~193 overall ANALYSIS: Voit was never going to sustain his .322/.398/.671 small-sample slash line from 2018, but he remained productive when healthy in 2019. Prior to suffering a sports hernia in late July, he hit 19 homers in 94 games with a .278/.392/.493 line. After returning, he hit […]

Jon Berti (SS/3B/OF, MIA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~240s CURRENT ADP: ~260 overall ANALYSIS: Until last season, Jon Berti seemed destined to be marked as a career minor leaguer, as he had never played above Triple-A in his first eight seasons. But those types of players can easily find their way into the mix in Miami, where Berti earned 256 […]

Jorge Alfaro (C, MIA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~180-195 CURRENT ADP: ~209 overall ANALYSIS: Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro continued his development in 2019 by slashing .262/.312/.425 with 18 HR, 57 RBI, 44 R, and 22 BB. The overall numbers may not seem all that impressive, but given that he plays at a relatively weak fantasy position, he performed quite admirably as he […]

Corey Seager (SS, LAD) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~120-130 CURRENT ADP: ~149 overall ANALYSIS: Corey Seager has entered his full, post-hype faze. Seager used to be the belle of the ball as the young SS primed to take off. He lost most of 2018 due to injury, and his 2019 suffered because of it. With few remaining believers, Seager's ADP is […]

Jason Castro (C, LAA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~320-335 CURRENT ADP: ~376 overall ANALYSIS: Jason Castro's 2019 was lost in the shuffle because his teammate, Mitch Garver also broke out over more at-bats. However, Castro is worth mentioning, especially at a shallow position. He slashed .232/.332/.435 with 13 HR, 30 RBI, and 39 R in only 237 at-bats. Castro only […]

Garrett Hampson (2B/OF, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~160s CURRENT ADP: ~175 overall ANALYSIS: Garrett Hampson had a disappointing 2019 campaign hitting just .247-8-27-40-15 in 299 at-bats, but the 25-year old seemed to figure things out late in the season. In September, Hampson hit .318 with five home runs and nine steals in just 88 at-bats. With elite speed […]

Francisco Mejia (C, SD) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~205-220 CURRENT ADP: ~232 overall ANALYSIS: Recently touted top prospect Francisco Mejia had an up and down season for the San Diego Padres in 2019. He slashed .265/.316/.438 with eight HR, 22 RBI, and 27 R over 226 at-bats in 2019. This stat line does not paint the whole picture for Mejia as he picked […]

Robbie Ray (SP, ARI) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~160 overall ANALYSIS: Robbie Ray is one of the most fascinating pitchers in baseball. He has some of the best fundamental pitches in the game, but when it comes to command and control, he struggles. He is an elite strikeout pitcher as he had a K% of 31.4 in 2018 […]

Cavan Biggio (2B, TOR) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~105-120 CURRENT ADP: ~132 overall ANALYSIS: Cavan Biggio was selected by Toronto in the fifth round of the 2016 Amateur Draft.

Nick Solak (2B/3B/OF, TEX) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~260 CURRENT ADP: ~290 overall ANALYSIS: Nick Solak played a total of 33 games with the Rangers last year, where he slashed .293/.393/.491 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored, and two stolen bases in just 116 at-bats. Currently, Rougned Odor is listed as the starter on the depth chart, but he could be […]

Oscar Mercado (OF, CLE) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~85-100 CURRENT ADP: ~116 overall ANALYSIS: Oscar Mercado flashed his dual-threat ability in his 2019 rookie campaign by slashing .269/.318/.443 with 15 HR, 54 RBI, 70 R, and 15 SB. He managed to do this in 438 at-bats after getting called up in the middle of May. What can he do with […]

J.D. Davis (3B/OF, NYM) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~160 overall ANALYSIS: After the Houston Astros sent their former third-round pick to the Big Apple last offseason, J.D. Davis did nothing but thrive in his first season in the National League. He finished his campaign sporting a shiny .307/.369/.527 slash line with 22 HR, 65 R, and 57 […]

Max Kepler (OF, MIN) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 CURRENT ADP: ~133 overall ANALYSIS: Many have been waiting for Max Kepler to break out since his first full season in the big leagues in 2016. While he had some decent production through his first three seasons, he finally was able to get over the hump and officially break out in […]

Mike Foltynewicz (SP, ATL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~190 CURRENT ADP: ~210 overall ANALYSIS: With an ADP of 204, Foltynewicz is on average currently the 78th pitcher being drafted overall despite being one year removed from a 13 win, 2.85 ERA season. That’s largely in part to him following up his big 2018 with a terrible start to 2019 which saw […]

Nelson Cruz (UT, MIN) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~40s CURRENT ADP: ~86 overall ANALYSIS: Many people let Nelson Cruz fall in drafts because he can only slot into the UTIL spot, but you can make DH-only work when it’s Cruz. His Statcast profile is painted red from wall to wall, with 99th percentile exit velocity and the best xSLG of […]

Yandy Diaz (1B/3B, TB) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~260 CURRENT ADP: ~297 overall ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Rays took a chance when they traded for Yandy Diaz last year after he spent two years developing in Cleveland with partial playing time. In 2019, Diaz slashed .267/.340/.476 with 14 HR, 53 R, 38 RBI, and a 10.1% walk rate, despite missing 83 […]

Josh Lindblom (SP, MIL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~300s CURRENT ADP: ~320 overall ANALYSIS: Josh Lindblom began his professional baseball career at 21-years-old in the Dodgers’ minor league system, but he was never able to gain a foothold in the major leagues. Over his career so far, Lindblom has thrown 147 major league innings to go along with 497.1 minor league […]

Brandon Lowe (2B, TB) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 170 CURRENT ADP: ~196 overall ANALYSIS: Brandon Lowe is a prime breakout candidate at second base heading into 2020 after his injury-riddled 2019 campaign limited him to just 296 at-bats throughout 82 games. He is another second baseman that can provide power, the ability to get on base, and a […]

Khris Davis (UT, OAK) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 150 CURRENT ADP: ~175 overall ANALYSIS: Davis struggled mightily in 2019 by slashing .220/.293/.387 with 23 HR, 73 RBI, 61 R, and 47 BB in 481 at-bats. He put up career-lows in average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS, most likely all attributed to a nagging hip injury Davis had […]

C.J. Cron (1B, DET) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 210 CURRENT ADP: ~247 overall ANALYSIS: Cron's 2019 season was a tale of two seasons. Cron battled thumb injuries that resulted in two injured list stints.

Justin Upton (OF, LAA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 200 CURRENT ADP: ~221 overall ANALYSIS: Justin Upton only hit 12 home runs in an injury-plagued 2019, which turned out to be a brutal season for the veteran slugger as a result of turf toe and subsequent knee issues he dealt with. He managed only 256 plate appearances hitting just 12 […]

Corey Kluber (SP, TEX) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~80 CURRENT ADP: ~95 overall ANALYSIS: Kluber came into 2019 as the ace of the Indians, having finished third in the AL Cy Young voting in 2018. He was coming off of his fifth consecutive season having thrown over 200 innings and striking out over 200 batters. Despite this consistent streak […]

Domingo Santana (OF, CLE) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~270s CURRENT ADP: ~300 overall ANALYSIS: Domingo Santana will likely be the starting LF for the Cleveland Indians and locked into regular at-bats in the middle of a solid lineup. He should really be a DH given his defensive shortcomings, but Franmil Reyes is bad at fielding too, so Santana should have a pretty […]

Starlin Castro (2B, WAS) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~260s CURRENT ADP: ~286 overall ANALYSIS: Oftentimes we hear the word "sleeper" in fantasy sports and think of a younger player who is primed to catch most owners off-guard with surprising success.

Austin Hays (OF, BAL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~240s CURRENT ADP: ~268 overall ANALYSIS: Austin Hays has been a name on fantasy players’ radars since he had a brief debut with the Orioles in 2017, but, despite the major league club not being relatively competitive, the organization chose to delay his call-up after injuries waylaid his ‘18 and ‘19 campaigns.
