Possible Big Years from Underrated Players

Phil Hughes/Mike Minor both pitched well over second half of last season, Minor had better numbers though

Brett Gardner may be a bounce back candidate if you need steals

On phone so will post more tomorrow

IMO.. Catcher is really deep in a 12 team league. There is no reason to draft one to late in draft because you have a couple of guys that can either hit for avg or power that will go undrafted. I am personally going to wait on catcher.

As far as sleeper... Kyle Seager of Seattle. He hit 20 homers and they are moving the fences in at SEattle. He's also working out at SS and could have SS elgibility. He's probably going to go undrafted in 12 team leagues. He absolutley sucks vs LH pitching, but if you draft him late enough you can use him as a platoon/bench player.

Not sure Id keep Marcum or Hanson, but I wouldn't mind them as my 3rd or 4th SPs.

You said Bold Predictions, he had an off year last season with his hand problems so I think he'll have a top 3 OF production season.
Upton is probably anywhere from the 6-10 ranked OF

What kind of stat line are you expecting for Segura? You think he is a starter in a 10 team H2H?

Saying Justin Upton will have an MVP type year is not even close to a bold prediction. He already did that in 2011. I am assuming you are a Bravetard.

Tduecen, Marcum is very underrated. He seems to have some injury issues though.

Yeah that was the article I was reading, his era over last 3 seasons has been 3.48 (I believe trying tonremember) but he hasn't hit 175 innings and averaged around 150 a season.

Depends on how late you're comfortable taking a mIF. I wouldn't want him as my starter in a 10 teamer; you'll more than likely be able to get him in the last round anyway.

Bruce Rondon has huge upside for a late pick. He has dominated in the minors and will probably be closing for Detroit.

I was gonna say Rondon, but he's getting some serious hype. Almost not even a sleeper at this point. He will be severely overdrafted I think
