My weekly Sunday Snapshot blog gives me an opportunity to look back on my sleeper picks from the past week and rate their performance. Travis Snider I recommended Snider despite what was thought to be a minor wrist injury, qualifying my...
Johnny Cueto In my opinion, Cueto is not really a sleeper. He was drafted in my league and has been rostered throughout the season. If you play on CBS you are probably in the same boat as he is owned in 85 percent of leagues. However, if you...
