Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers? Carlos Santana
(This article was recently updated based on current ADP trends) The “thing” I like most about Carlos Santana is the fact that he is a “catcher.” You see, (wink wink), he is a top-tier fantasy baseball "catcher," even though he will most likely play at least a third of his games at 1B or DH. […]
