Looking back at Last Year’s Fantasy Sleeper

I wrote this April 3rd of last season:

Fantasy Player To Watch:Sleeper

Andrew McCutchen.

I was called crazy when i drafted him in the
middle rounds, but I believe he has the potential to turn some heads.
Last season he batted .286 with 12 Hr, 54 RBI and 22 SB. Those numbers
arent exactly all-star material, but this young phenom has potential. He
may be overlooked with Hayward being brought up for Atlanta, but this
kid could turn some heads. He was the only person in the majors last
season to have a 3 HR game and a 3 SB game. He has good power and very
good speed. He could steal 50-60 bases for the Bucs and hit 20-30 HR. He
is an electric type of player and he doesn’t get the respect he
deserves because he plays in Pittsburgh. Don’t take this kid that early,
but if he is still around in the 5th to 7th rounds, i say take him, he
could be an all-star this season and you will not regret taking
McCutchen.”

So while 50-60 SB’s is a little excessive, he did hit 16 HR’s and had 33 SB’s along with a .286 BA and 56 RBI, so overall, he was a pretty good fantasy choice last season.
