    Fantasy Your best sleepers

    You know you have your little stash of players that you have an itchy trigger finger for when the draft hits round 20 and beyond... who are your favorites for 2009, and why?

    Personally... I am REALLY intrigued by Mark Teahen for the Royals... will probably end up at 2B because of his bat... 27 years old and looks to FINALLY be primed to break out.... could be a .280 20-90 guy... and with him probably qualifying at 1B/2B/3B/OF... that is pretty enticing

    Ian Stewart if he gets a position. Rick Porcello could be interesting.

    Pat Burrell because he's ranked SO LOW by ESPN, so I can usually grab him pretty late.

    I got him in round 17 in my last draft

    It was a test to see if anyone would actually read my entire list. Well done.

    I'd add David Freese to the list. It'll be karma for your laughing at our Edwin Jackson for Danys Baez and Lance Carter trade.

    Burriss is not a very good hitter. Too much of a slap hitter.
