2013 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Outfield (OF)

2013 Season, Desmond Jennings, Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

2013 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers Outfield (OF) are based on a single season outlook for the 2013 fantasy baseball season. Outfield (OF) sleepers are established for a standard fantasy baseball scoring system in mixed AL/NL leagues with scoring stats including: Runs, Home Runs, RBI, Stolen Bases, and Batting Average. Outfield (OF) sleepers are based on players who have the potential to make a significant statistical impact in 2013 fantasy baseball leagues. These sleepers include players who are typically ranked and drafted lower in fantasy baseball leagues than what their potential stats warrant for the 2013 season.

Sleepers: Catcher (C) – First Base (1B) – Second Base (2B) – Third Base (3B) – Shortstop (SS) – Outfield (OF) – Starting Pitcher (SP) – Relief Pitcher (RP)

 

Desmond Jennings – tb

A breakout season was expected of Jennings entering 2012, but instead he was merely average rather than great during his sophomore season in the majors. However many overlook is quite yet productive stat line that included 31 stolen bases, 13 home runs, and 85 runs scored last season. Now entering his 3rd season in the majors, the 26 year old Jennings is poised to take the next step up as an offensive threat, with 40 stolen bases and 15 home runs within his reach in 2013.

 

Lorenzo Cain – kc

With random injuries and offensive potential lining his baseball career thus far, Cain is as good a bet as any young 27 year old to finally take off as an everyday starter in the majors in 2013. Combining a touch of power hitting potential and solid speed, Cain could become a 15 home run and 20 stolen base threat during the 2013 season.

Brett Gardner – nyy

After tallying 47 and 49 stolen bases in back to back seasons in 2010 and 2011, injuries limited Gardner to just 31 at bats with the Yankees during the 2012 season. However with full health back on his side for the 2013 season, Gardner should easily take over a starting job in the Yankees outfield. Anything along the lines of 40 stolen bases and 80 runs scored seem like a good bet for Gardner in 2013.

 

Ben Revere – phi

A young 24 year old speedy outfielder, Revere racked up an impressive 40 stolen bases and .294 batting average over 511 at bats for the Minnesota Twins in 2012. However after a trade to Philadelphia, Revere will likely take over as the Phillies leadoff man for the 2013 season. Another 40 stolen base season is easily within reach for Revere in 2013.

 

Tyler Colvin – col

A move to Colorado for the 2012 season did a world of good for the 27 year old Colvin. Having posted 18 home runs, 72 RBI, 10 triples, 7 stolen bases, and a .290 batting average over just 420 at bats in the Rockies lineup last season, Colvin should increase his at bats during the 2013 season as he gets everyday starting time between outfield and first base. Playing half his games at Coors field, Colvin could be looking at a 25 home run and 90 RBI season in 2013 as one of the Rockies top offensive run producers.
