Yu Darvish (SP, TEX) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: 119.3 ANALYSIS: Yu Darvish hasn't pitched since August 9, 2014 due to Tommy John surgery. He missed his age 28 campaign, a time frame when most pitchers are hitting their prime. In 22 starts in 2014, Darvish had a 3.06 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP and a 182/49 K/BB ratio. He […]

Danny Valencia (3B/OF, OAK) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~250 CURRENT ADP: 284.7 ANALYSIS: Danny Valencia played on six different teams over the last four seasons, and finally landed with the Athletics late in 2015. He is projected to be the starting third baseman for the A's in 2016. It is difficult to form any expectations for such an inconsistent player, […]

Adam Wainwright (SP, STL) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~70 CURRENT ADP: 71 ANALYSIS: Even after Tommy John surgery in 2011, Adam Wainwright was one of the most heralded fantasy selections, through 2015. However, he ruptured his Achilles tendon in April-- he actually returned to the mound in a relief role in late September. His durability is often in question, but […]

Enrique Hernandez (2B/OF, LAD) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Late in NL-Only Leagues CURRENT ADP: 428 ANALYSIS: Enrique Hernandez is really more of a deep sleeper, but there is some potential here. His versatility will help him garner fairly regular at-bats. The versatility, depending on the league, can also add to his fantasy value by letting owners slot him in at different […]

Joe Panik (2B, SF) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~280 CURRENT ADP: 307.3 ANALYSIS: Joe Panik is not a very enticing pick -- at least not in standard leagues -- but he has a load of upside in leagues that count OBP and/or slugging percentage. Panik led all second basemen in OBP in 2016 and he was in the top three […]

Rougned Odor (2B, TEX) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~85 CURRENT ADP: 99 ANALYSIS: Rougned Odor smells like a winner in 2016. In fact, I'm not sure you can even call him a sleeper because he has the potential to be a top-five player at his position. His numbers from 2015 were not overwhelming at first glance, but don't overlook the […]

Starlin Castro (2B/SS, NYY) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~190 CURRENT ADP: 204.7 ANALYSIS: At age 25, Starlin Castro has a chance to continue a late-season run that salvaged an otherwise bust of a 2015 season. While the move away from Chicago's stacked, young lineup isn't great, Castro was not in an ideal fantasy situation there. He is projected to bat […]

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~290 CURRENT ADP: 315 ANALYSIS: Devon Travis' rookie season was abbreviated by injuries, and he was never able to get back on track following a hot start. He is expected to be out of commission for the start of the season, so there is some risk here, but that just means you […]

Joe Ross (SP, WAS) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~210 CURRENT ADP: 228.5 ANALYSIS: Joe Ross will be tabbed as the Nationals' fifth starter  in 2016 after going back and forth between the bullpen and the starting rotation for some time. In 13 starts and 76.2 IP last year, Ross accounted for 69 punchouts, giving him a 22% strikeout rate. Batters […]

Luis Severino (SP, NYY) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~145 CURRENT ADP: 156.3 ANALYSIS: In 11 starts following his mid-season call-up in 2015, Luis Severino lived up to the hype that made him the Yankees’ most highly-regarded prospect. Over that span, he compiled a 2.89 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Batters made contact on 78.7% of Severino’s pitches, but were only […]

Trevor Bauer (SP, CLE) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~250 CURRENT ADP: 269 ANALYSIS: Trevor Bauer earned wins in two of his first three starts of the 2015 season, allowing just two earned runs and registering 26 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched over that span. Unfortunately, he would reach double digits strikeouts in only two more starts, due to a lack […]
