0 Subject: Sleepers/Gambles in Yahoo (SP or RP)

I liked Zen's thread on NL sleepers.

I had my Yahoo league set to Auto draft----did not have time to
pre-rank as I joined late. (I was in the air to AZ during the live
draft)---

I have noted the following:
Parra (already picked him up)
C Lee (maybe a comeback year)
Cueto (went on waivers)
Vólquez (gone to another manager)
Glavine (in his waning years---like his early ERA)
B Bonser---(need his strikeouts, but scares me away otherwise)
Lohse (nice start to season)
SIlva (days are numbered?)
Gabbard ( nice start)
Wells (Starter/Reliever?)
Santana (brutal ERA last year away from home)
Wakefield (hmmmm?)



Any others out there? I cannot seem to find a fit. I want to rid
myself of Garland due to his lack of Ks. Thansk in advance.

John Dempster...may be too early to pull the trigger on but he bears watching. Decent Ks...likley poor whip...could be bad when the weather warms up at wrigley...but a decent team and as much as people do not like him he has not really had more than a year or two starting and that was 3-4 years ago. Has some talent if he can maintain control as a starter.

John Danks...may not be available. Some talent.

Nelson Figueroa...NYMets...had a good spring...may get a chance with Pedro out.

Edgar Gonzalez...spot in AZ rotation.

I miss the days on rotoguru when there was a lot of chatter on the baseball site. :(

Cliff Lee might be worth watching. Awful year last year, but he certainly has the potential to win 15 games with that Cleveland offense.

yes he is. too bad that the only league he is available in I already have D.Wright and Chipper.

Bannister has a good era/whip history. not so great on K's though, and he's a royal.

Zack Greinke did just fine in his first start of the year. Of course we'll see how fine he does tomorrow against A-rod and the Yankees.

Dempster with another good line...
7IP 1H 2BB 5K 0ER

Tempered by the fact he was facing the Pirates but he did look pretty comfortable on the mound the entire game.
