Fantasy Sleepers - Spring Training All-Stars

Here are some fantasy sleepers that are putting up some interesting numbers during spring training, along with links to their spring training stats on MLB.com.

Andruw Jones, Chicago White Sox (OF): Posting an OPS over 1.000. If he finds his stroke at the Cell, he could be in for a big year. Amazingly still just 33. (http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=116662)

Tom Gorzelanny, Chicago Cubs (SP): The Illinois native has a 3.07 ERA in 4 games and could be this year's Randy Wells, providing depth for the Cubs at the back of the rotation. With competition like Carlos "Me Want Food" Silva and Jeff "You're giving me how much not to get hit on a football field?" Smardzija, the 28 year old lefty could find himself making the bulk of the starts. (http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=452733)

Conor Jackson, Arizona Diamondbacks (OF): Johnson's been tearing the cover off the ball, hitting .421 with 3 HRs and an OPS above 1.300. Arizona's been hitting the high OPS 28 year old first in spring, which could be provide a push for his counting stats. (http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=433582)

Rickie Weeks, Milwaukee Brewers (2B): Weeks has been doing his usual early season mashing, posting a .317/.440/.488 line with 3 SBs. Most importantly, he's been playing everyday, showing no ill effects from his wrist injury. This could be the year the stud prospect puts it all together.

Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee Brewers (OF): Gomez has been posting his usual numbers, a low OBP hovering around .308 with 9 steals (versus 0 CS) in 17 games. Jim Edmonds has made the squad as Gomez insurance, so expect a heavy dose of steals from Gomez early on as he tries to cement his spot in the lineup.
