Who are some good sleepers for fantasy baseball in 2017?
That's actually a good sleeper pick right there. Thanks!Homer Alert
Greg Bird hit at a 30 HR/100 RBI pace when he was called up in 2015, if he looks like he has his swing back in Spring Training he's definitely worth a late round pick.
Jose Peraza. 90 runs, 75 rbi and sb's.
Is he gonna be a starter this year?I have a good feeling about Mike Montgomery on the Cubs. If the Cubs don't get Tyson Ross, I think he could give the Cubs top of the rotation type numbers next year.
That's what they have been saying since they got him. If they pick up Ross, it might throw a wrench into that plan though. Picking up uehara was to replace his arm in the bull pen.Is he gonna be a starter this year?
Stroman was frustrating for me throughout last year. I'd still draft him again if I had the opportunity.Jon Gray had a really good rookie campaign. His 4.61 ERA is a lot better than it sounds considering he pitched half his games at Coors (he had a 106 ERA+), and he had strong peripherals (3.60 FIP, 3.61 xFIP, 9.9 K/9). Robbie Ray is also an intriguing pitcher and he had an elite strikeout rate of 11.3, though he had some longball and walk issues. Even then, his ERA was more than a full run north of his FIP/xFIP.
I wouldn't be surprised if Stroman and Pineda see their ERAs improve considerably. Stroman pitched very well down the stretch in 2016.
Addison Russell seems like a decent breakout candidate IMO. Showed increase in power numbers, cut his K% down from 28.5% to 22.6%, and he already has a respectable walk rate (9.2%).
Drew Smly? Could he turn things around in Seattle?
