So, you’re diligently preparing for your fantasy draft and searching desperately for this year’s Ryan Braun - the rookie fantasy sleeper stud that takes everyone by surprise and catapults your squad to a championship. Unfortunately, all you can find are experts’ “Top 100 Prospect” lists, which include prospects that are still a year or two away, or so-called “Sleeper” lists consisting of 2nd and 3rd year players that everyone in your league has already heard of (and are already planning to draft before you). What if - hypothetically - someone had organized a constantly updated list of rookie fantasy sleepers, tiered by starting status, ranked by predicted fantasy impact, and linked to recent news on each rookie, that you could have running in the background of your draft as a quick reference?

The Cleveland Indians’ top prospect will have to sit out at camp for at least the next 5-7 days, according to MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince. The blister actually formed on his middle finger at the beginning of camp, but had healed and has since reopened. After a string of injuries holding him back the past two seasons, the Indians were just hoping that Miller could make it through camp healthy, so clearly everyone is disappointed with this latest injury. As ESPN’s Keith Law notes, the only thing holding Miller back from potential ace status is his health. Even with his injury history Law has him ranked as the #29 prospect overall.
