The Wiretap did a riveting show on Monday where we laid out our top sleepers for 2008. I am going to lay out my sleepers in this post with comments. In creating this list I used players that had at least an ADP of over 240. MOCKDRAFTCENTRAL.COM. Lets get to the sleepers:
C: Ramon Hernandez: (ADP 300) Ramon Hernandez who I watched play in the Caribbean League prior to the 2007 season. He was 30 pounds overweight and had to play 1B. I did not pick this guy on a single team. Then the guy has an oblique injury, imagine that ! He hit 235 in April then 209 in May. In 2006, Hernandez had 23 homers and hit 275. As a catcher those numbers will be huge. I love Ramon to rebound.
1B) Lyle Overbay: ( 363 ADP) This guy only played 122 games in 2007, and people have already forgot who he was. Jamie - Lynee Spears is wishing she was this lucky. In 2006 Overbay hit 23 homers and hit 312. At 363 this is a great selection.
2b) Jeff Kent: ( 250 ADP) This guy is so old he dated Estelle Getty, Morgan Fairchild,and the Nanny Fran Drescher.The Dodgers have a new manager in Joe Torre and dreams of a title. This guy has one more good season in him, last year hit 302 and had 20 homers.
3B) Ty Wiggington: ( 276 ADP) This guy is a former Devil Ray and is still being overlooked. This Houston offense is going to be tough like a young Mike Tyson. In 2006 and 2007 he has quietly gone about getting you 24 homers and 275 average. If you wait this long to pick him you need to get yourself a book or a magazine.
SS)Bobby Crosby ( 348 ADP) No good reason, at 348 you are not going to get Willie Mays. His best season was 2003, and it was not that great. I love to gamble and this is my gamble of the draft.
OF) Lastings Milledge: ( 247 ADP) I visited spring training last season and this guy can hit a baseball. Does Isisah Thomas spend some time in the METS front office ? This guy can play and the Nationals have quietly put together a nice lineup and are moving into a smaller park.
OF) Jose Guillen: (275 ADP) This guy is coming off a monster year that led him to a monster contract. I like Guillen to keep up the numbers. The guy can play, staying on the field has always been the issue.I love the Royals lineup Dejesus, Butler, gordon, Tehan, these are not the lowly Royals any longer.
OF) Ryan Freel ( 322 ADP) A Jacksonville native going at 322 are you kidding me. No wonder Dicky V, lost his voice. Any guy that can steal 40 bases is a need and should never go at 322. Matt Stairs is going ahead of Freel, so take advantage of these ill informed drafters.
SP) Scott Olsen ( 422 ADP) The guy is the ace of the Marlins staff. The guy has the talent of Josh Beckett and the brain of the South Carolina MS. Teen America contestant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww
