2009 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Report

|
Infield
Rookies |
Player |
Pos |
Age |
| Matt Wieters - Baltimore
Orioles - He hit over .355 and 27 home runs in
the A and AA in 2008. He should get the shot from day
one to start and can be a fantasy stud catcher within
the next 2 seasons. |
C |
23 |
| Pablo Sandoval - San
Francisco Giants - He was a monster in the minors
in '08 batting over .340 with 20 home runs and then he
batted .345 with 3 home runs with his 145 at bats in the
Big Leagues. |
1B |
22 |
| Elvis Andrus - Texas
Rangers - He is a good defensive shortstop who
can bat .300 and steal 50 bases which should garner a
call-up at anytime in 2009. With Michael Young currently
at shortstop, it will likely take an injury for Andrus
to get the call in '09, but keep an eye on the situation
in Spring Training. He was acquired in the Mark Teixeira
from Atlanta. |
SS |
20 |
| Mat Gamel - Milwaukee
Brewers - He has a chance to start at third base
and hit in a good line-up, but you may have to wait a
bit. He batted .329 with 19 home runs in AAA Nashville. |
3B |
23 |
| Reid Brignac - Tampa
Bay Rays - Should be given a shot to start at shortstop
in 2009 Spring Training . He can hit 20-30 home runs and
steal 15-20 bases. |

Player |
Pos |
Age |
| Chris Dickerson - Cincinnati
Reds - He had a nice season in AAA Louisville hitting
11 home runs, 9 triples and stealing 26 bases. He batted
.304 with 6 home runs and 5 stolen bases after his call-up. |
OF |
27 |
| Cameron Maybin - Florida
Marlins - He is the big prospect acquired in the
Miguel Cabrera trade. He has 20-30 potential and should
be given the starting CF in Florida. Maybin hit .277 with
13 home runs and 21 stolen bases in AA in 2008 and saw
some action late in '08.. |
OF |
22 |
| Andrew McCutchen - Pittsburgh
Pirates - He might make the team, but is more likely
to spend some more time in AAA. He batted .283 with 9
home runs and 34 stolen bases in AAA Indianapolis. |
OF |
22 |
| Matt Laporta - Cleveland
Indians - The slugger was the main player in the
Sabathia trade. He batted .288 with 20 home runs with
306 at bats in AA Hunstville. |
OF |
24 |
| Colby Rasmus - St.
Louis Cardinals - The Cardinals are in need of
a young hitter and Rasmus could get the job in Spring
Training. He batted .275 with 29 home runs and 18 stolen
bases in AA Texas League in 2007 and .251 with 15 home
runs and 15 stolen bases in AAA Memphis 2008. |
OF |
22 |
| Travis Snider - Toronto
Blue Jays - Has batted .299 with 50 lifetime home
runs in the minors with 1138 at bats. He will get a shot
to start in Toronto in 2009. |
OF |
21 |
| Dexter Fowler - Colorado
Rockies - With the acquisition of center fielder
Carlos González, Fowler may see another year in
the minors, but after batting .335 with 9 home runs, 9
triples, 31 doubles and 20 stolen bass in AA Tulsa, it
will be hard to keep him down too long and those are very
tempting numbers for a fantasy hitter in Colorado. |

Age |
| David Price - Tampa
Bay Rays - The 6-6 left-hander was the #1 overall-pick
of the 2007 draft out of college was brought up at the
end of the season and went 1-1 with a 1.97 ERA and 12
strikeouts in '08 in his 14 innings of play. |
SP |
23 |
| Trevor Cahill -
Oakland A's - He went 6-1 with a 2.19 ERA in AA
Midland. The A's are loaded with young pitchers, so making
the rotation will be tough, but he will get his shot at
some point in 2009. |
SP |
21 |
| Brett Anderson -
Oakland A's - He will likely get some more time
in the minors, but the A's always have good pitching prospects
and Anderson is yet another one (He was acquired in the
Dan Haren trade). |
SP |
21 |
| Chris Tillman -
Seattle Mariners - He was acquired in the Eric
Bedard trade and was 11-4 with a 3.18 ERA in AA Bowie.
