It’s that time of year again MLB fans! With the next season quickly coming upon us, we must strap up and get ready for another year of fantasy baseball. Now, there are your obvious powerhouses – Mike Trout, Clayton Kershaw, etc. However, like always, 2017 will have some sleepers we all wish we saw coming.
I’ve only played fantasy baseball twice, so I wouldn’t call myself an expert. Both years I made it to the championship only to become the runner-up. While I did good both years, I obviously wasn’t the best – however I always prided myself for picking the best MLB sleepers. In 2013 I picked Hyun-Jin Ryu with the last overall pick. He ended up having a good season, not great, but definitely was the best last pick I could have made. While that may have been the pinnacle of my sleeper status, it was still a win to me and made me feel much more credible.
Now, this article will be presenting some of the best fantasy sleeper options available. I (unfortunately) will be sharing with you the guys you should have your eyes on when entering middle to late rounds. Hopefully I don’t play in any sort of league with any readers, because then well all of my sleepers won’t really be sleepers will they?
Now, don’t expect these guys to be the superstars of your teams and compete with the likes of Trout. However, these guys will serve as good utility players that will prove to be extremely beneficial considering the guys you were able to take before them. These guys will be consistent contributors to your road to fantasy glory, and you’ll be able to surround them with excellence. So, with all of that being said, let’s take a look at my fantasy sleepers for 2017.
