RotoGraphs Audio: The Sleeper and the Bust 4/2/2015 – Outside the Top 200

Episode 212

The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is live!

In this episode, Paul Sporer and Eno Sarris have news about Curtis Granderson, Coco Crisp, Justin Verlander, and Rusney Castillo. Then they play a little game that essentially tries to identify some sleeper-types who could bust out in a big way.

GUY MOST LIKELY TO _____ AFTER PICK 200

Chris Carter (37 HRs), Ben Revere (49 SBs), Corey Kluber (AL Cy), and Tyson Ross (195 Ks) were all picked 200 or later in 2014 (20th rd in 10-teamers, 17th rd in 12-teamers, and 13th rd in 15-teamers). We’re going to pick some of potential star-impact guys after pick 200 based on FantasyPros ADPs
