AL Only Sleepers

I recently got an email from a reader about AL Only Saves. He Asked:

Hey Brad,Love the tiered tankings.Do you have a feel for deep AL prospects / sleepers?

Here are a couple of guys I recomended to him:

Thanks. Not sure how deep your league is but a couple guys to take a look at:


Alexi Casilla - Twins 2B/SS of the future, in a full season he could steal 50. Think Castillo in his prime.
Gavin Floyd - White Sox starter doesn't have the best stuff and may eventually find himself in the pen but he should make the rotation this year.
John Danks - The Brandon McCarthy trade is going to look great for the White Sox.
Brandon McCarthy - 4.50 ERA is expectable.
Gustavo Chacin - Starter was gold a couple of seasons ago -- was injured last year but should bounce back.
Josh Towers - Think one year farther down the line than Chacin and one heck of a bad season but they are paying him a lot to play in the minors and if he can make it back into some teams rotation he could be a decent last round AL only pick.

Obviously there are always the guys like:

Phil Hughes - Stud Yankees SP, Best SP in the minors and should be up by years end
Alex Gordon - Stud 3B
Mark Teahan - Moved to OF for Gordon but still has OF elig.
Delmon Young - Future STAR. He's the kind of guy you imagine 50/50 things about. Ok not really but you get the point.
Akinori Iwamura - Talked of working on speed. Should get lots of playing time for D-Rays

Hope this helps.
