I agree with all of these sleeper picks, with the exception of Greg Maddux. He's turning 40 next month and I don't see him putting up one of his usual Cy Young years, but I expect an improvement from last year. One pitcher that should've been included is Zach Duke, who had quite an impressive showing for the lackluster Pirates down the stretch in '05. With the improved lineup and management in Pittsburgh, Duke should fluorish this year. Matt Holliday, Josh Willingham, and a couple of others on the list have been mentioned on the Baseball Geeks Podcast at various points as being possible sleepers.

I don't like sleeper lists. In the internet age, there is no such thing. There are a lot of fantasy baseball publications that have excellent info on lots of players, veterans and up and coming. Minor leaguers even have a buzz around them now a days. We even have guys podcasting fantasy baseball stuff, (wink wink). Spring trainign games are on ESPN and even local networks. There are websites like Player Trk and Fantasy Source by Sporting News, etc. It is just hard to draft someone no one knows about. I play in three leagues and all the listed "sleepers" are drafted from the middle rounds and up.
