Great 2009 Sleepers Post from RazzBall
I’m not sure if I go to Razzball.com more for entertainment or info, but they’ve got a great combination of both. Check out Grey’s post on 2009 fantasy baseball sleepers to see what I’m talking about:

Razzball highlights a handful of guys who should perform much better than the “schmohawks” near their ADP. Mentioned in this post are Blake Dewitt, Chris Young, Joey Votto, and the Rangers catchers.
I am totally on board with Chris Young for the sleepers list this year. I owned him last season in two leagues and cringed every time I saw the replay of the Pujols line drive. Of all people to take a line drive from, he got hit square in the nose by Albert Pujols. Any mortal would have called it a career, but Young came back to post killer numbers late in the season. He’ll be falling in drafts and I plan to reach for him as my SP3 to be sure to lock him up.
I’m also on board the Joey Votto train, but with all the love he is getting from fantasy baseball sites across the internet right now I’m not sure how much value he’ll have come draft day. If the Votto man love keeps going this strong he will be as the 12th first baseman by the time you do your drafts.
Razzball has quite a few individual posts about fantasy sleepers that don’t show up on this page. I’m not sure why they don’t keep updating this page with their new sleeper posts, but you can find their other posts about sleepers by navigating through their recent articles. At the time of this posting I see articles on Alex Gordon and Chris Davis as well. These posts are worth are worth a read, just like everything Razzball produces. Check out Razzball.com.
