Curt Casali (CA, TB) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~380 CURRENT ADP: 415 ANALYSIS: Curt Casali put together an intriguing campaign in a very limited 2015 showing. He didn’t have a powerful bat in the minors, yet he hit 10 home runs in just 113 plate appearances for the Rays last year. Tampa Bay brought in Hank Conger to join Casali […]

Caleb Joseph (CA, BAL) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~340 CURRENT ADP: 371 ANALYSIS: While Caleb Joseph is likely only going to be picked in deep leagues by owners who wantto handcuff Matt Wieters or are banking on Wieters getting hurt again, but Joseph's own bat has value. He hit 11 homers in 355 plate appearances last year while Wieters was […]

Dioner Navarro (CA, CHW) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~320 CURRENT ADP: 366 ANALYSIS: Dioner Navarro has double-digit power, but he’s also 32 this year and doesn’t have a full-time gig right now. The White Sox seem to have brought him and Alex Avila in to form a platoon, with Navarro handling lefties (he’s a career .270 hitter vs. LHP and […]

Robinson Chirinos (CA, TEX) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~300 CURRENT ADP: 320 ANALYSIS: Robinson Chirinos looks to be in the catbird seat as far as the Texas Rangers’ starting catcher job goes. He isn’t going to turn into anything different as far as his average goes -- his batting profile doesn’t call for anything higher than the .230s -- but […]

Nick Hundley (CA, COL) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~210 CURRENT ADP: 228 ANALYSIS: Nick Hundley caught 102 games for the Rockies last year, putting up a line that might catch your eye as you scroll through the draft room: 45 runs, 10 home runs, 43 RBI and a .301 average. He will not be able to maintain that .300 average, […]

Drew Smyly (SP, TB) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: 183.7 ANALYSIS: Drew Smyly missed most of last season with shoulder problems, but when he did pitch, he stayed true to the breakout hype.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: 155.7 ANALYSIS: Taijuan Walker got a fair amount of hype heading into 2015, but unfortunately for fantasy owners who paid an expectant price, Walker absolutely face-planted in the early going, carrying a hideous 7.33 ERA through his first nine starts.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~75 CURRENT ADP: 94 ANALYSIS: After a dominant minor-league career and an impressive showing as a rookie, Marcus Stroman was a popular breakout pick in 2015.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: 198 ANALYSIS: Byung-ho Park will turn 30 in July and is a pretty big dude (6’1”, 236 lbs) who swings a mighty right-handed bat.  He has absolutely obliterated the KBO, hitting over 30 homers each year since he got regular playing time with the Nexen Heroes.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~280 CURRENT ADP: 294 ANALYSIS: A.J. Pierzynski continues to be fantasy relevant after a tame 2014 had many writing off the now 39-year-old as done.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~210 CURRENT ADP: 231 ANALYSIS: After showing some promise as a starter with the Cubs the previous two years, Welington Castillo struggled out of the gate last season as the backup to Miguel Montero.

Francisco Cervelli (CA, PIT) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target~ 210 CURRENT ADP: 232 ANALYSIS: Francisco Cervelli has long been appealing to AL-only owners, as his high batting average and part-time role made him a consistently undervalued asset. Receiving a starting catcher gig for the first time in his MLB career last season, Cervelli rewarded the Pirates, and fantasy owners, with the same […]

Derek Norris (CA, SD) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: ~200 CURRENT ADP: 226 ANALYSIS: In his first year with the Padres, Derek Norris failed to put up an OPS+ of at least 110 (it stood at 99) for the first time since his rookie season in 2012. His career-high 515 at-bats may give the impression that he was overexposed, but it was […]
