2012 Fantasy Baseball – Sleepers to Watch For

Sunday, April 1st, 2012
Justin Morneau, 2012 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

Justin Morneau looks to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2011 season.

Despite what some may think, fantasy baseball drafts are not won in the first round, when guys like Albert Pujols, Matt Kemp, and Ryan Braun are taken.  Ask the guy at your office, who won his league last year, how he was able to pull it off; “Asdrubal Cabrera, that’s how!” Did you sense a little pride in their voice? That’s because there’s no greater feeling in fantasy sports than finding a player who’s undervalued on draft day, but delivers like a superstar during the season,just like Cabrera did last year.  A late round pick, Cabrera played like anything but that as he hit 25 home runs (18 hr. in the previous four seasons combined), alongside 92 rbi’s. It’s not the studs on your team that will win you your 2012 fantasy baseball league, it’s the Asdrubal Cabrera’s you find, the diamonds in the rough….the sleepers.

Picking out which players to target as fantasy baseball sleepers is sometimes hard to do.  Do you go with the young guy who raked in the few major league games he played in last season?  (more…)

Draft with caution in 2012

Secondly, the word out of Washington is that the Nationals are going to hold him to around 160 innings this year. No one doubts that Strasburg would put up great stats, especially in ERA, strikeouts and WHIP. Both of these things should make owners take a second thought at when to draft Strasburg. (more…)

LeBron James Fantasy Basketball Power Rankings #1

LeBron's Heat may be down at the moment, but he's not.

The King is alive and well. This week sees the return of the King and a couple of new kids on the block to the Power Rankings list. You know sometimes the worst NBA teams; sure can make up the best fantasy basketball teams.

Fantasy Basketball Power Rankings:

1.    Lebron James, Small Forward, Miami Heat, Trending Up
The Heat may not be the best team in the NBA, Lebron may not be able to make the game winning shots, but in fantasy he is royalty.  We can all pretty much say with certainty that the Heat are having a bad time of late, but even with their struggles the King has averaged 26.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists in his last five games.
