Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Some Minor League Prospects

On Tuesday, I received my Baseball America Prospect Handbook 2009.  Since I am gearing up with sleepers of all nature, I figured I'd share a list of the prospect reports I read on that first day. 

The first propsect I looked at was Arizona Diamondbacks RHP Jarrod Parker.  He was listed high on the three Top 50 lists that open the book.  My thought was "Roy Oswalt".  

From there I read OF Gerardo Parra and LHP Daniel Schlereth. Parra is a player on the roster of my NL-Only team, and Schlereth interests me as a possible closer candidate in Arizona.  Not coincidently, each followed Parker in the book.

In no particular order, here are the other prospects I reviewed:

Todd Frazier 1B/SS/3B Cincinatti Reds
Chris Carter 1B/3B/OF Oakland A's
Brett Cecil LHP Toronto Blue Jays
John Mayberry Jr. OF Philadelphia Phillies
Dominic Brown OF Philadelphia Phillies
Michael Taylor OF Philadelphia Phillies
J.P. Arencibia C Toronto Blue Jays
Sergio Romo RHP San Francisco Giants
Jaff Decker OF San Diego Padres
Jason Motte RHP St. Louis Cardinals
Clayton Mortensen RHP St. Louis Cardinals
Jarek Cunningham SS/3B Pittsburgh Pirates
David Winfree OF Minnesota Twins
Danny Valencia 3B Minnesota Twins
Mat Gamel 3B Milwaukee Brewers
Andrew Lambo OF Los Angeles Dodgers
James McDonald RHP Los Angeles Dodgers
Gaby Sanchez 1B Florida Marlins
Drew Stubbs OF Cincinnati Reds
Chris Valaika SS Cincinnati Reds

From what I remember . . .

Parker was saddled with the Oswalt comps a couple years back.
