Who will be the biggest bust in fantasy baseball this season? The biggest sleeper?

Question

I think Alfonso Soriano will be the biggest bust because at Wrigley Field he is only 4-for-25 (.160 AVG) with 1 HR, 1 RBI in 6 career games there for his career. I think Cole Hamels is the biggest sleeper because he has nasty stuff and he averaged 10.4 K/9 and a .226 opponent average in 14 starts after '06 All-Star break. . What do you guys think?

Answer 1

you are judging soriano based on 25 at bats?? thats not a smart thing to do, he is the only player in baseball capable of another 40-40 season, especially given the more homerun friendly wrigley as opposed to the national's pitcher's park...

the biggest bust will be carl crawford, who simply does not provide enough production to justify his high draft ranking. he does steal, but his other numbers, especially given the lack of protection in that tampa bay lineup are attrocious

the biggest sleeper will be a young pitcher by the name of rich hill, who has finally come into his own, after initial struggles. his curveball is unrivaled and he has developed a tight changup and slider to become an awesome strikeout machine. im drafting him for sure.

Answer 2

Soriano - give a little credit to Zambrano and company, they struck him out 9 of 25 AB's and maybe he was looking at that short left field fence but he still had to face good pitching when he went there.

Here is a sleeper for you, since we are on Soriano... Rafael, he will be the rocket arm behind sluggo Wickman in Atlanta who can age a manager by 5 years every time he goes to the mound with a 1 run lead. Cox will eventually need a shut down closer and Soriano is wicked. Some people are looking at Gonzalez who has experience as a closer, but he is the only good lefty in the bullpen and may be used mostly as a situational set up man.

Bust - Morneau, he couldn't handle the pressure of hitting clean-up last year and had to be moved to 5th before he started hitting. How can he handle the pressure of being reigning MVP?

Answer 3

Bust: Michael Turner - Has had a heavy workload ever in view that arriving in Atlanta, he additionally led the NFL in incorporates final season, and the incorporates chief each season basically approximately constantly seems to go through a considerable dropoff the subsequent twelve months, usually by way of break. Steve Johnson - got here out of nowhere, would not have this way of music checklist, and his QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is extremely a mediocre QB at maximum suitable. Jimmy Graham - Getting way overhyped at TE basically by way of his athleticism. Brees likes to unfold the ball around and he in hassle-free terms confirmed us TDs final season, no actual yardage, he would be a growth or bust guy a week. Sleeper: Shonn Greene - LT rather wore down after his warm initiate final season, that is sparkling who's the greater advantageous RB/guy of the destiny for the Jets. Greene has shown us a lot skill interior the previous. LeGarrette Blount - performs on an up-and-coming Bucs offense with Josh Freeman and Mike Williams. became a stud interior the 2nd a million/2 of ultimate season and is the only RB interior the backfield for the Bucs. Daniel Thomas - Labeling Thomas as a sleeper is reliant on hoping the Phins do no longer sign yet another RB in loose business enterprise. in the event that they do no longer, Thomas gets the vast majority of incorporates in view that Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams should not be returning.

Answer 4

I think Ryan Howard will be the biggest bust. I think people are building him up to be the next David Ortiz and he's simply not David Ortiz. I expect pitchers to start giving him the Bonds' treatment and walking him 200 times a year to take the bat out of his hands.

I think the biggest sleeper will have to be Coco Crisp. He had a bad year last year because he broke his finger early and never really got into a groove after that. I'd expect him to come out of the gates firing on all cylinders and make a whole lot of noise in 2007.

Answer 5

Biggest bust: Jose Reyes. Hard to repeat 60+ stolen bases even on a team where there are offensive weapons galore. runner up- teammate Carlos Beltran

Biggest sleeper: Remember the name Mike Maroth. He was very good last year before getting injured. With almost a year and a half worth of rest look for him to make a nice rebound. runnerup- philip hughes

Answer 6

the biggest bust will be david wright. people are drafting him in the first and secon round and hes really not even that good.he'll propably have a decent year but hes not that fast and doesnt have much power, u can get a much more well rounded guy in the 1st and 2nd round. my biggest sleeper is prince fielder the guys got real nice power and hes ready for a 30-40 homerun year.

Answer 7

wrigley is a hitters park but the cubs had one of the better pitching staffs in the national league last year... alfonso will have a monster year. biggest bust i think is going to be alex rodriguez i think he is going to start to faulter. biggest sleeper i think will be jason jennings that guy has great stuff but he pitched in colorado his entire career now that hes in houston i think he's going to be one of the better pitchers out there.

Answer 8

I agree with you on Soriano....I think he will press to hit HR's and will suffer because of it.

I think the biggest sleeper is Brandon Phillips of the Reds. He is a slick fielding second baseman who runs the bases well. He does not strikeout much and has deceptive power.

Answer 9

Biggest Bust-Daisuke Matsuzaka He will be Mussina like so I think he is being drafted too high.
Sleeper-I like Ian Snell. Watch the whole Pirates rotation. They are loaded with young talent that could explode at any time.
