who is the best sleeper pick in fantasy baseball?

Before the season I would have said Chris Shelton of the Tigers, I was able to get him on both of my fantasy teams, but now the secret's out (6hr and 12rbi).  Since I watch the Tigers all the time, I could give a pretty good case for starting pitcher Jeremy Bonderman.  He's a guy you can pick up in the middle rounds and he'll give you first round numbers.  He only had 14 wins last year, but he puts up a high number of strikeouts, he has an average ERA, and a low WHIP.  \n\nOutside the Tigers, I would say Audrey Huff of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays could be one of the top sleeper picks.  His numbers were down last year after a season in which he hit 30hr and over 100rbi.  He's off to a slow start again this year, but he's a guy with a lot of upside that you can probably get later in the draft.

Fantasy? or are you talking about real baseball. Fantasy. You can't go wrong with either one. In real life, what position do you need fielded. For example,  if I already have soneone like Jose Castillo at 2nd, and Jason Bay at LF (both great players), then I would take AROD to play 3rd for me. If my LF and 2nd Basemen suck, then I'd go for Soraino. It's all bout need. Also, defensively, I think AROD has the edge. Also, Arod would sell more tickets. I think I just convinced myself to take AROD.

So it would basically be Reyes & Wells for Soriano & Dye? Personally I'd say no to that, Soriano gives you the power, speed and average #'s that fantasy leagues eat up, plus he's still eligible at 2B (presumably). If you're looking for a replacement for Dye, play it week to week and pick up a streaking player who may be facing some weaker competition then drop him when the hot streak wears off.

pick acording to who's out there...every one likes a-rod,i have him on just one of my fantasy teams...i could have gotten him 3 more but choose not to..this is why..short stop and second base has the lest guy that can produce..third and first has plenty...catcher who cares,if you can get one of the top 5 catchers in the tenth round then pick one up...pitchers get atleast 2 real good starters and a great closer..you have plenty of chooses with pitchers....outfield, i go with atleast one speed guy and one power..some like sheffield,i think he's rank to high...who knows its a funny sport someone always surpise you and a dud always has a great year..rolen is my third baseman in most leagues...you can pick him up late and he will be an allstar this year...

Right now i'd have to go with Scott Rolen. In the past month he has hit .380 and made some amazing defensive plays. He gets it done on both sides of the ball. He has really stepped up his game while Albert Pujols is injured.

sign up on yahoo for fantasy baseball it has a pre-set ranking.  I make a few changes each year, players like Adrian Beltre are ranked low but he is a top 100 player easily.  Just depends on what youre looking for.

Would say Lidge, but he's already been axed temporarily. He's been demoted to a bullpen role while Wheeler and Qualls share the closer duty. Well, cross one off the list.\n\nWould also say Isringhausen, but he plays for the Cards, so a closer isnt as important to them. Also, Isringhausen is good when he needs to be, as in late september and the playoffs.\n\nWould say Street but Duscherer (who i think would be his replacement) is now on the 15 day DL. If i had to pick somebody,  it would be Chad Cordero. Earns quite a lot of money, yet isnt used. No point in keeping him.

It's a bit early to tell, but I would say:\n\nNL\nMVP -  Albert Pujols\nCy Young - Tom Glavine\nROY - Prince Fielder\nManager - Willie Randolph\n\nAL\nMVP - Jonathan Papelbon (Maybe they won't give it to a relief pitcher, so then I would say Jim Thome)\nCy Young - Jonathan Papelbon\nROY - Justin Verlander\nManager - Jim Leyland

First I'd check for a C upgrade. Lopez isn't bad, but I picked up Ramon Hernandez today and Willingham recently on another team. It never hurts to look. While Mueller is hot now, he's not a long term answer. You really should be getting some SBs out of this position. Check out Josh Barfield of SD or Castillo of Pittsburgh. Your team is vitually bereft of speed. SPs are weak. I'd drop Weaver and look at Bannister of the Mets.Trade Clement now before he reverts to his normal form. Andruw Jones supplies great HR?RBIs, but he's a drain on team batting average. I would be inclined to offer Thome or Jones for an SP. Keep your eyes on the free agents in your league. Use your DL slot. Always good to keep one guy on the DL, so if another goes on the DL, you can just switch them. I think your team is mid-pack talent wise. You need a couple front of the order guys for runs and SBs. Maybe Granderson or Stewart are available. Maybe package Thome or Jones plus Clement. Get an SP with era/whip and a .300+ hitter who'll replace some of the HRs you traded.

Peavy - He'll get hot & start to win along w/ striking out a ton of guys.  Dumping Peavy would be one of the dumbest moves in your league to date (I'd bank on that).\n\nLackey - He'll pitch well & strike out a few, however that team stinks offensively.  Don't bank on a ton of wins from him.\n\nMarquis - This stinkin' guy will win a few games but DESTROY the rest of your stats.  There's something about Marquis this year and a 10ft pole.......

My pick: Edwin Encarnacion\n\nEdwin has the huge benefit of hitting in the "Great American Ballpark" which should help boost his HR, and essentially RBI numbers. Edwin also has a more potent lineup to hit with.\n\nHowever, Conor will probably put up the higher avg. in the end though.

i'd go with pedro, due to the run support that the mets have, he's a pretty solid option from start to finish...there's a slight risk for injury unfortunately, but i think it's worth it.  if you have something against martinez or the mets, then i suggest going with chris carpenter.

My pick is Rice.  The owls are a good hitting team, good fielding team, and great pitching team.  Eddie Degerman, Cole St. Clair, and Brian Friday are superstars in the making.

1. Ladanian Tomlinson\n2. Shaun Alexander\n3. Peyton Manning\n4. Steve Smith\n5. Santana Moss\n6. Larry Johnson\n7. Marvin Harrison\n8. (sleeper picks) Joe Horn, I think with Drew Brees as QB, he will get involved in a lot of his passes.\n9. (sleeper picks) Drew Bledsoe, with Terrell Owens, Terry Glenn, and Jason Witten, Bledsoe is going 2 get a lot of passing yards.\n10. (sleeper picks) Kurt Warner, with his great WR core, he's also going to get a lot of passing yards and PTDs.

I would have to either go with Andruw Jones or Chip, Chip, Chipper... Both have consistantly performed through out the duration of their career.  So my answer is most definitly John Smoltz.  Hes been a been around forever, and still is a killer pitcher.  He has changed his style to fit the improvement of hitters, and has been one hell of a gunslinger.  No question.

Don't use Utley, the best 2B in MLB right now, and Tracy to get Edmonds because Utley is better than Edmonds and wat's the point of giving a power hitter for a power hitter??I'd trade C. Crawford and J. Nathan for a guy like Bobby Abreu.Then put Guillen on the BN. Don't use Schilling, Utley, or Konerko as trade bait because Schilling is the base of your pitching staff, and Utley and Konerko are your power hitters. I take advantage of having 4 very good closers and Derek Lowe. Lowe is hot right now and I don't think he'll keep it up for long. And try to get a OF power hitter cause your OF is kinda weakish.\nBut fully be aware of that usually it's pitching that gets u high in the standings. And drop Linebrink and Hernandez because Linebrink is a nonclosing reliever, which r pretty much pointless in fantasy baseball and Hernandez is only good for SOs. Maybe drop Nady for something alittle better. Yeah, that's pretty much it, good luck!!! :)
