In today's age it is really hard to find true sleepers. But we still play hunches or find bargains or just plain old like players at the end of drafts or in dollar days.
Who are yours for this year?
There are no wrong answers. That said I would like to encourage discussion.
Please tell us if you are in mixed, AL, or NL, auction or draft.
On the pitching side NL only, I am liking Aaron Nola this year. A lot of people will be afraid of health issues. Only 23 years old. Big K's a bit of wildness. He is reporting to camp with no restrictions and says he is feeling "great." For risk takers he could pay off huge. If he is $10 or less in your NL only trade for him now.
I am an Aaron Nola owner, I asked for him as a sweetener at the trade deadline. Unfortunately he is $15B which means I can play him out or give him a raise at $5 per year. No way would I give him a raise. If he was $15A I would easily keep him. At this time I am trying to trade him for something I need. If I do not get the deal done I most likely will throw him back with the hopes of getting a new contract for $15 or less. When the 11 other owners (some with lots of money) see the lack of pitching that is in the auction, I believe he will go for high teens or low twenties.
