Sleep•er [slee-per] noun
A player poised for fantasy production greater than conventional expectations.
I was looking forward to snatching a few of these guys in the middle/towards the end of drafts this year. But then they ended up on everyone's list of sleeper candidates. Now (a) they're being overvalued and/or (b) being picked early enough so that they're no longer the bargain that made them so attractive.
Scott Baker (SP - MIN) He was on so many sleeper lists that he hurt his back and will now may start the season on the DL.
Chad Billingsley (SP - LAD) There's been so much talk that he's regularly going during the 8th round at Mock Draft Central. I'm sorry, but were we drafting a mock keeper league?
Michael Bourn (OF - HOU) Made more sleeper lists than Juan Pierre made "overvalued" lists.
Edwin Encarnacion (3B - CIN) I liked him more before everyone found out he'll play half his games at Great American Ball Park.
Zack Greinke (SP - KC) No longer being ignored because he pitches for the Royals. Too bad.
Jeremy Hermida (OF - FLA) On more sleeper lists than he was in 2007.
Matt Kemp (OF - LAD) See Bourn, Michael.
Joakim Soria (RP - KC) See Greinke, Zack.
Geovany Soto (C - CHC) So much for getting #1 C production at the end of the draft.
Adam Wainwright (SP - STL) Now even Donny knows what his second half numbers were last year.
