2009 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Report

Bargains

Infield Bargains

Player
Pos
Age
Rafael Furcal - Los Angeles Dodgers - Another well-known player who was injured in '08 and could fall in the draft . He could be the 3rd best shortstop in fantasy baseball. He did return at the end of the season and batted .357 with 5 home runs and 8 stolen bases.
SS
31
Alexei Ramirez - Chicago White Sox - Starting with the fact that he qualifies for the two most important positions, SS and 2B and finishing with his .291, 21 home run, 13 stolen base rookie debut and you have the perfect bargain the for 2009 draft. *Draft trends have him going in the top 50 and thus not much of a bargain anymore.
SS/2B
27
Mike Aviles - Kansas City Royals - He had quite a rookie debut hitting .325 with 10 home runs, 4 triples, 27 doubles and 8 stolen bases with just 486 at bats. He can be a .300, 15-15 shortstop.
SS
27
Chone Figgins - LA Angels - He had a bad season filled with injuries and finished with a .276 average but did manage 34 stolen bases. He is a lifetime .290 hitter and if healthy you can expect about .290 and 40 stolen bases. With stolen bases hard to come by, he can be a steal mid-way in the draft.
3B
31
Joey Votto - Cincinnati Reds - He had a very nice rookie debut batting .297 and hitting 24 home runs. In the minors he was more of a 20 home run hitter, but in Cincinnati that should be good for 30. He can steal bases for a first basemen as well.
1B
25
Ryan Doumit - Pittsburgh Pirates - Even Pittsburgh can have fantasy players. Doumit hit .318 with 15 home runs with 436 at bats. He missed some time with injury and if he were to have a healthy 2009, he could be a .300, 20 home run hitting catcher.
C
28
Conor Jackson - Arizona Diamondbacks - He will only be turning 26 so he has plenty of upside. His value is much better in a points league than in a 5x5 Roto. He batted .300 with 12 home runs, 6 triples, 31 doubles and stole 10 bases. Those are some solid across the board numbers if you get points for each of those categories.
1B
26
José López - Seattle Mariners - If you miss out on the few top second basemens you probably can wait late into the draft and get Lopez very cheap. He is just 25, yet he has started for 3 years and improved in each. He finished with a .297 average, 17 home runs and 41 doubles.

Outfield Bargains

Player
Pos
Age
Xavier Nady - NY Yankees - The former Pirate saw himself move from the Pittsburgh fantasy wasteland to fantasy heaven and the Yankee lineup. He should fall in the drafts and though you shouldn't expect a .325, 25 in '08 repeat, you should get .280 with 20 home runs and good RBI and run totals. Watch for a possible trade that could lower his value.
OF
30
Ryan Church - NY Mets - He was having a breakout year before getting a concussion and still managed to bat .272 and hit 12 home runs with 319 at bats. He should be good for a solid .275 and 20 home runs, 80 RBI's and 80 runs. He makes a nice late round pick.
OF
30
Ryan Spilborghs - Colorado Rockies - A risky pick because of injuries and lack of a proven record, but Spilborghs is a .300 hitter with some pop and some speed playing in Colorado. He makes a nice late-round pick to fill a hole or to put on the bench as a back-up.
OF
29

Player

Age
Francisco Liriano - Minnesota Twins - The one-time future fantasy stud has now had more than a full year to rehabilitate his injury and played great down the stretch going 6-1 with a 2.74 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 65.1 innings after his second half call-up. He has the potential to be a top ten fantasy pitcher if healthy in 2009.
SP
25
Chris Carpenter - St. Louis Cardinals - The former Cy Young winner has been nothing for two years with Tommy John surgery and a nerve problem in his shoulder. If he is 100%, he should be good for 17 wins. There is a possibly that he moves to the bullpen as a closer as well. He is one to watch in Spring Training.
SP
34
Erik Bedard - Seattle Mariners - We all know Bedard, but many times after an injuries, players slip in the draft. Don't let Bedard slip too far. He did play and went 6-4 with a 3.67 ERA. He is a good strikeout pitcher who had 28 wins in the previous two seasons.
