Fantasy Baseball: sleepers by position for 2020 season

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
Catcher – Danny Jansen, Toronto Blue Jays (ADP 268)
The most barren position in fantasy baseball. Count me among those who tend to draft catchers very late, and constantly search for any sort of value towards the end of the draft. If you think like me, then you’re looking for this year’s Mitch Garver.
Look no further than Toronto, where Danny Janson’s shine seems to have worn off. This spring training however, his bat has done no such thing.
At the time of this article, Janson is hitting 6 for 14 with 3 home runs and 3 stolen bases in Grapefruit League action. His ADP is currently 268, which means he’s barely making the cut in 12 team leagues.
Many owners are going to be turned off by his 2019 stats (.207 Avg./13 homeruns/43 RBIs), but young catchers tend to take more time to develop, and the former prospect is going to be given every opportunity to play and contribute in a lineup that already has a plethora of young stars.
Let someone else get sucked into a run of catchers. Jansen is the guy you want late in your draft, as he prepares to light up the Rogers Center this year.
