I got Lincecum last year partly because all of the websites saying he is a major sleeper? Who do you think will outperform their adp by a few rounds and will be a major sleeper that I should target. do you have any pitchers you are really confident will have a breakout season? thanks in advance

@Doug Ault: Maybe that's why I keep invoking his name. @bpasinko: Lewis may bat 3rd all of spring training, do poorly the first week and end up on the bench or in the fifth spot. I don't think much can be taken out of spring training. Just hope your guys avoid injury.

Didn’t realize Lewis was batting 3rd. Makes me think lineups are the most meaningful thing we can take out of spring training. That and a hot prospect doing well enough to start in the majors.

If Lewis goes 5 hr and 5 sb in April and you drafted him in the 24th round, are you looking to trade him or hold onto potential goodness?
Maybe pick up the yawnstipating Randy Winn after you trade Lewis and a newly appointed closer for Hail to the Victorino

@Grey:If you keep invoking Fred Lewis’s name,I’ll be forced to post a video of George “The Animal” Steele visiting the zoo

@Baron Von Vulturewins: Agreed. The problem is if these 15 HR / 20 SB guys help in the other three categories. If they can get 170+ R + RBI and hit for a respectable average, they have nice value. But a guy who goes 60/15/65/20/.265 is infuriating....

@Cheez Whit: Here’s some back-up info from ESPN & Baseball Prospectus:

ESPN: Ishikawa as primary 1B.

BP: Ishikawa gets 55% of 1B, 25% to Bowker, 20% to Aurilia
Sandoval set for 70% of 3B time with Juan Uribe and Aurilia getting 15%.

If I was a Giants fan, I’d take my pee breaks when they are at bat so I didn’t miss the pitching…

@Christopher: True. @Cheez Whit: He's their primary 3rd baseman.

I thought Pablo Sandoval would play 1st and get the majority of the ABs there?

@Baron Von Vulturewins: I was penced about owning Pence last year... @Grey: "Brian Wilson" is Greek for "okay"... I think "Papelbon" is Greek for "elite closer."
