2014 Fantasy Baseball: Sleepers & Busts From Experts At Rant Sports
Sleepers & Busts
The fantasy baseball season will start in 25 days and that means that fantasy owners all over the country are formulating their strategy. There are tons of different directions to go, but it is always important to have a game plan before entering the draft room.
A good deal of fantasy owners wait until their draft is two or three weeks away to start looking through magazines or scrolling through player rankings. It may not be the best strategy to be prepared for the draft, but it is simply the way of our prognosticating society.
The most popular search engine topic for these last-minute cram sessions continues to be fantasy sleepers and busts. These types of articles have notoriously dominated traffic around the web in the final weeks before each season, but every person has a different opinion, and logically so does every writer. At Rant Sports, we have several fantasy fanatics and thus have an ever-changing opinion amongst our crew.
So before you compile your cheat sheets this spring, here are some sleepers and busts at each position from the experts here at Rant Sports.
