Jedd Gyorko: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Second Base Sleeper

Jedd Gyorko was a popular sleeper candidate coming into 2014. Having just hit .249/.301/.444 with 23 home runs in 2013, it wasn't hard to see him as reminiscent of Dan Uggla.

Prince Fielder (1B, TEX) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target as High-End 1B2 ANALYSIS: All this talk about Prince Fielder's declining career must stop. If you look closely at 2014, you will see that he posted a .333/.421/.458 triple slash line in 48 AB in May before a neck injury cut his season way short. So in April, and one game in […]

  Tons of Upside for this Breakout Candidate You are not excited enough about George Springer. Yeah, I know: He strikes out a lot. His 33.0 K% last season would have tied Chris Davis for the MLB lead if he’d had enough AB to qualify, and prospect graveyards are littered with the bones of guys […]
