5 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers Who Deserve a Second Chance

Fantasy draft season is in full swing, and as you get into the later rounds of your draft you’ll be looking to take some swings of your own.

Baseball is a tough business. Often, young players endure a mediocre start after too much hype and we write them off. But should we?

Enter, the post-hype sleepers.

The five players listed here are some of my favorites based on their average draft position (ADP) and what they can offer if they can fulfill their potential in the major leagues. You’ve heard of all these players before, and maybe your memory of them is not so great, but it could be time to give them another chance. Most importantly, at their current ADP, there’s nothing to lose.
