The 2005 season has seen its share of surprises. I'd like to list my All-Sleeper Team of the year: C - Ryan Doumit, Pit & Miguel Olivo, SD 1B - Derrek Lee, ChC & Dan Johnson, Oak 2B - Brian Roberts, Bal & Jorge Cantu, TB SS - Jhonny Peralta, Cle & Felipe Lopez, Cin 3B - David Wright, NYM & Morgan Ensberg, Hou LF - Cliff Floyd, NYM & Carlos Lee, Mil CF - Ken Griffey Jr., Cin & Andruw Jones, Atl RF - Jonny Gomes, TB & Jeff Francoeur, Atl Utility - Chone Figgins, LAA SP - John Patterson, Was SP - Chris Capuano, Mil SP - Jon Garland, ChW SP - Chris Carpenter, StL RP - Derrick Turnbow, Mil RP - Chad Cordero, Was RP - Todd Jones, Fla

Derrek Lee and Andruw Jones arent really sleepers, just having monster seasons. Carlos Lee is a sleeper, unfairly to him, because he had a monster season with the White Sox last year. Figgins made a name for himself last season already filling in everywhere and anywhere. Other than that, its a good list.

If you want to add another RP, how about Roberto Hernandez?

Francoeur should probably be on there somewhere, and maybe Tony Clark as well. Nice idea, though, and good execution!

Francoeur is on there, platooning in RF with Jonny Gomes. Tony Clark is a nice choice. I forgot about him for a moment, but ultimately he probably would have missed the list because he's not exactly an everyday player.

Kinda desperate with those catchers, Doumit and Olivo haven't been tearing it up. Chase Utley should prolly be there too.

Clark's been number-one for a while. Many sleepers, almost by definition, won't open the season as a starter.

Chad Tracy is having a very good year under the radar, and can play the IF and OF corners. .293/20HR/50RBI/.342OBP

Stats for the past month: Ryan Doumit: .371, 2 HR, 13 RBI Miguel Olivo: .305, 4 HR, 15 RBI, 2 SB

The only surprise about Cornelius is his lack of injury, so I guess he counts? _____________________________ This post was made under the posting designation 168) Ellis Valentine

One month does not a season make. Season stats: Doumit 4-27-253 Olivo 9-33-205 (with a stellar 236 obp). Ramon Castro is better than either of them.

Olivo was supposed to be a sleeper, but he was awful all year...only til he got traded has he been doing good.

Beenso Aug 31 2005 04:19 PM

Morgan Ensberg has been a heck of a sleeper.... He was good 2 years ago, but really fell of last year.
