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

That guy’s knowledge of players is based on who has played or plays for the Tigers.

Yes, I only know players on or tangentially related to the Tigers. That’s it.

Cmon thats unfair. I think we all know more/speak with more enthusiasm about our favorite real life team.

Unless you dont have a favorite team. If you dont, go actually watch real baseball and get off fangraphs. While analysis is great, there’s more to baseball (even fantasy) than ouring over numbers. Go root for someone. Go Yanks!

35+ stolen bases, Jordan Schaefer has to be in that conversation. The guy stole 30 last year in just over 200 plate appearances.

Micah johnsons low stolen base numbers last year were related to a chronic leg injury FYI.
