2008 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers Countdown - #11-20

Here's the next installment of my 2008 MLB sleepers countdown. My qualification for calling someone a sleeper was simple: anyone who is being drafted after the 200th pick, on average. I used Fantasy Gameday's Average Draft Position (ADP) report for data on players' ADP. This list is more or less in order of how excited I am about these guys. For #21-30, see this post.

20. Jon Lester (ADP: 262) – He’s not as overpowering as Buchholz, but he gets the job done.

19. Matt Diaz (ADP: 369) - .338/.368/.497 last year. In 774 major league at-bats, Diaz has hit .320. That’s impressive.

18. George Sherrill (ADP: N/A) – Give him a chance, Baltimore. You won’t be disappointed.

17. Aaron Hill (ADP: 265) – The Upside is a young Jeff Kent.

16. Adam Jones (ADP: 336) – He’ll struggle at times, but I could see 20 homers and 15 steals.

15. Andrew Miller (ADP: 295) – Love the K’s and the move to the NL.

14. Jay Bruce (ADP: 348) – The only reason he’s this far down on the list is because his playing time is even more in question than that of Longoria. Once he does play, he’ll give you power and speed.

13. Felix Pie (ADP: 363) – This kid is being overlooked. He could easily go for 15 homers and 25 steals.

12. Ian Kennedy (ADP: 338) – He’s not going to blow anyone away, but he’ll be solid and he’ll collect a few K’s (though not a ton).

11. Matt Garza (ADP: 241) – I’m a sucker for young pitchers.
