2011 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Report

Breakouts

Infield Breakouts

Player
Pos
Ian Desmond - Washington Nationals - The 25-year-old prospect showed his talent with a .269, 10 home run and 17 stolen base debut season. The Nationals have a good young team and have added veterans Jayson Werth and Adam LaRoche to the offense. Playing in a scarce position, Desmond should be drafted reasonably high, but he will likely last longer than someone like Derek Jeter, yet Desmond could do about as well as him in 2011.
SS
Pedro Alvarez - Pittsburgh Pirates - One of the top prospects in baseball played very well as a rookie finishing with a .256 average, 16 home runs, 21 doubles and 64 RBI's with 347 at bats. Naturally, it hurts his ranking playing for the Pirates, but nevertheless Alvarez can eclipse the 30 home run, 100 RBI totals in a breakout 2011 season.

3B
Mitch Moreland - Texas Rangers - A pleasant surprise in the second half of 2010 when he batted .255 and hit nine home runs with 145 at bats. With Justin Smoak being traded and Chris Davis thus far bombing the door is wide open to win the starting first basemen job in Texas.

 

Moreland hit 48 home runs with a .313 average with 1398 career minor league at bats, so he looks like the real deal.
1B
Sean Rodriguez - Tampa Bay Rays- The 26-year-old prospect showed signs of stardom in 2010 while also showing that he is a hard working, team player by playing seven different positions (though he will likely only qualify for two).

 

Coming into 2011 the Rays have traded away shortstop Jason Bartlett and Reid Brignac will move there permanently and Rodriguez will start at second. In 2010 Rodriguez batted .251 with nine home runs, 19 doubles and 13 stolen bases with 343 at bats.

 

In 2009 Rodriguez smashed 29 home runs with 365 at bats in AAA Salt Lake and 21 in 2008 with 248 at bats, so he has legitimate power. Though the PCL is known for being a bit homer-happy, Rodriguez is a big league 20 home run candidate, not to mention 20 stolen base candidate, in 2011.
OF/2B
Danny Espinosa - Washington Nationals - He has a lot of maturing to do, but his power and speed make him a definite breakout candidate. He has smashed 40 home runs and stole 56 bases with 1019 minor league at bats, but only batted .270. He hit .214 with six home runs with 103 at bats after being called up in 2010. Sounds like a speedy Dan Uggla in the making.
2B
Tsuyoshi Nishioka - Minnesota Twins - The Japanese All-Star will be handed the starting job. He looks to be a .300 hitter, with some power (maybe 10 home runs) and good speed (15-25 stolen bases). In Chiba Lotte he batted a career-high .346 with 11 home runs and 22 stolen bases in 2010.
2B
Danny Valencia - Minnesota Twins - The big prospect got the call mid-season and come through. He batted .311 and popped a solid seven home runs with 299 at bats. He will be the Twins starting third basemen and should be a .300 hitting, 15-20 home run third basemen that can be found at the end of the draft.
3B

Outfield Breakouts

Player
Pos
Tyler Colvin - Chicago Cubs - He came out of the gates swinging from 2010 spring training and eventually got the starting job before going down with an injury. He looks to be 100% coming into 2011 and should open up as the starter in right field. He finished 2010 batting .254 with 20 home runs, 18 doubles, 5 triples, and 6 stolen bases with just 358 at bats. 30 plus home runs looks more than possible for 2011.
CF
Peter Bourjos - Los Angeles Angels - Has a great combination of speed and power peed that fantasy owners love, but he may be a year away from reaching his potential. Either way Peter Bourjos should be on your draft list as a mid-late round sleeper. As a rookie he smacked six home runs, four triples and 10 stolen bases with 181 at bats, but only batted .204.

 

In 2010 AAA Salt Lake he batted .314 with 13 home runs, 12 triples and 27 stolen bases and has a lifetime minor batting average of .293. He can be a big-time breakout in 2011 or just take step up similar to Drew Stubbs of 2010.
