Henderson Alvarez (SP, MIA) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in Middle Rounds ANALYSIS:  One of the biggest pitching breakouts of 2014 was Henderson Alvarez. Last season, he went 12-7 with 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 18 quality starts in 30 opportunities. He did so well that he will be handed the ball on opening day for the Miami Marlins. According to the […]

Garrett Richards (SP, LAA) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in the Early to Middle Rounds in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Garrett Richards impressed a lot of people last year, putting up ace-like numbers through 26 starts until his knee injury in late August.

Jesse Hahn (SP, OAK) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~240 Overall ANALYSIS: It’s not often that minor league statistics can be used to predict the performance of a future major leaguer, but when it comes to Jesse Hahn, it’s safe to say the writing has been on the wall all along. Hahn has just 73.1 innings of major league experience, but in […]

Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target Late in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Scooter Gennett now holds the reigns at second base for the Milwaukee Brewers, since Rickie Weeks has departed.

Leonys Martin (OF, TEX) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 Overall ANALYSIS: The Texas Rangers recently announced that Leonys Martin would be their everyday leadoff hitter, which should give his fantasy value a nice boost.

Russell Martin (CA, TOR) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 Overall ANALYSIS: Russell Martin hit .290/.402/.430 (all bests since 2007) and finished seventh among C in 2014, but is being ranked just 13th for 2015. I understand the skepticism among fantasy owners, but he did improve his BB% (12.8%) and K% (17%) in 2014 and was surrounded by a much-improved Pirates offense. In Toronto, he’ll be […]

Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft in Middle Rounds of All Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays middle-of-the-rotation starter Jake Odorizzi had a pretty solid season in 2014, compiling an 11-13 record, a 4.13 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and 174 strikeouts in 168 innings of work. The former first round draft pick has never dazzled at the minor league level, but […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~8th Round ANALYSIS: In 2014, perennial All-Star Joey Votto watched his entire game sink to career lows as he battled through a left quadriceps strain, which would end up costing him 100 games. All reports out of Reds camp so far this spring suggest that the injury is behind the former MVP. “I’m […]
