2008 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

Here are 3 fantasy baseball sleepers for the 2008 Fantasy Baseball season:

Jarrod Saltalamacchia (C): If he has 500 at bats this season with Texas, his numbers are projected to be 136 Hits, 84 Runs, 21 HR, and 63 RBI (based on his 167 at-bats with Texas last year). This would put him in the Top 5 for catchers. Even more, this is assuming that he doesn't improve from last year. If he does, he will be one of the top 3 fantasy catchers by year end.

Rafael Soriano (RP): His WHIP and BAA were a miniscule 0.86 and .181, respectively, in 2007. Now that he has the full-time closer job, he has the potential to be a top 5 closer (in the league of Putz, K Rod, Papelbon, and Nathan) by the end of the year.

Josh Fields (3B/OF): Fields had 23 HR, 67 RBI, and 54 Runs in 373 at bats in 2007. That projects to 31 HR, 90 RBI, and 72 Runs over 500 at bats. This assumes that he does not improve upon last year. The projected numbers make him worth a late-round consideration.
