Top 5 Sleepers


Mike Minor SP (Braves)

With Medlen's breakout second half season managers forgot that the Braves had another Ace that second half too. When Medlen posted a 0.97 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 9/k per Nine innings you had Minor posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 6.4/k per Nine in that same span.

Ike Davis 1B (Mets) 

When you look at Ike's overall stats from last year and see that .227 AVG, you just wanna turn away and cringe a little. But you gotta remember he had a terrible start to the season and I mean terrible. A .158 AVG and 5 HR's in 58 games is as bad as it can get. But when he finally got out of that funk, he turned things around and batted .265 with a stellar 27 HR's in the remaining 100 games that he started. If he hits the way he did the second half of the season he could possibly hit 40 Hr's with 120+ RBI's. He's been going anywhere's between 10th and 12th round so keep an eye out and see if he's still hanging around after the 10th round for you to grab.

Ryan Howard 1B (Phillies) 

Think everyone is forgetting that this former MVP was injured last season and finally looks 100% heading into the season. He's got 8 extra base hits this spring including 4 Hr's and has 12 RBI's. If the Veterans in Philly can collectively have a solid season you could see Howard put out a line like .290/25/90/80 which Isn't bad for someone going past the 10th round with potential up side.

Brett Gardner OF (Yankees)

In back to back seasons before last years injuries Gardner almost hit the 50 mark in steals with 47 and 49.  He's going at around 300 in drafts so getting a guy who could get you a .270 AVG, 90 Runs and 40 SB's in the 20th round or later looks like a steal to me.

Jedd Gyorko 3B/2B (Padres)

 I'll have a post later in the day on Gyorko so stay tuned.
