AL Sleepers to Watch

[yankeesfan02bunt]

This article is dedicated to players who I believe are sleepers, or are gonna break out. These players haven't put up too great numbers before, but they caught my eye to being good someday. I am going to focus up on 3, so here we go:

1-Sonny Gray- After ending the season like that, filling up for injury in the postseason, Gray has proven to me he has great potential. I believe this is the year he will prove he is a good pitcher in the AL. He is getting a chance to probe himself, and has put up great stats in his short stint in the MLB. He also proved that he can pitch under pressure, giving a dominant outing in last years ALDS vs. the Tigers.

2-Alex Cobb- Before and after that terrifying head injury last year, Cobb was as dominant as an ace. In 22 games, Cobb went 11-3 with a 2.76 ERA, very dominant. If he had a full healthy season, we can very much of been talking about him in the Cy Young Talk.

3-Grady Sizemore- Yea, maybe you can't really call him a sleeper. But coming off those surgeries, he counts as one here. In Spring Training, he was playing as his old self. He seems to have not missed a beat. His timing is on, and his coach and teammates are gals to have him. He feels great, and I believe he will have an All Star Season. In his first MLB game in almost two years, he played like he hadn't missed a game, going 2-4 with a HR.

There are many more players worth recognition, but these are just the few I think will break out. Who you got?

Matt Adams should make this list. Maximum lineup protection and he should get 500 ABs. Guy can rake even though he looks like he could start on my softball team.

I think you're on track with Grady. Maybe not a true sleeper, but of he continues to play as he has in Spring training, he's a great reclamation project!

I would say Matt Adams and Justin Smoak and maybe Aaron Hicks
