Just so we're clear at the top: When we use the term sleeper around here, we certainly aren't trying to imply that we've discovered a group of ultra-secret players previously known only to their employers and family members.
Estrada finished as a top-125 player overall in 2022, yet we're treating him as an afterthought for fantasy purposes in 2023. Nothing about his season reeked of unusual good luck and the man just turned 27. If you miss out on the upper-tier second baseman, it's nice to know that a potential leadoff hitter with 15/15 ability is waiting for you in the later rounds. His multi-position eligibility is a gift, too.
. He also produced a .385 OBP in the minors, which offers hope that last year's chronic out-making won't continue. He's a decent bet to hit leadoff for the Nationals, giving him some run-scoring upside as well.Injuries have prevented the Jung breakout from happening in prior years, but it's definitely due to occur at some point very soon. We saw a taste of his power upside last season, as he delivered five homers and ten XBHs in 102 plate appearances.

Fantasy Baseball 2023 Starting Pitcher Preview: Top-20 rankings, sleepers and draft strategyPitchers betray us every fantasy season, no matter when we draft them. It's disgraceful.

Fantasy Baseball 2023 Third Base Preview: Top-12 rankings, sleepers and draft strategyI try to be a positive person, the kind of guy who sees the glass as half-full or waits for the possible rainbow when it's raining. But even with my optimistic outlook on life, I have to admit that the 2023 version of the fantasy third-base pool is as shallow as I've seen it in recent years.
