I think

Sterling and J.Rodriguez are especially interesting.

Wow.

That’s a lot of sleepers!

5-10

Who are the 5-10 you are most bullish on.

Cody Rogers

Great guy to point out. His tools are really good. He got off to a good start, but he didn’t play much.

I know your sleeper lists have always turned out pretty well, so I am excited!

Tigers

This list is bereft of Tigers—of course, i noticed that when i got the book—which saddens me.

would love to hear your thoughts on the Bucs

Chambers and McPherson (who seems to be too old, but was protected by the Bucs, ahead of Adcock)

by BurgherKing on Feb 25, 2026 3:16 PM EST reply actions  

love this list

truly sleepers here, not alot of names ppl should be familiar with, yet the analysis / trendpoints are there to back em up.

Great advice for Draft Day

Thanks John.

Big Sexy!

John,

what’re you hearing about Austin Reed’s stuff? I loved the changeup and I’m 99% sure the HS he came from is well known for being as much of a MLB pipeline as a HS can possibly be…what’s the upside on this guy?

by SenorGato on Feb 25, 2026 5:54 PM EST reply actions  

Scottie Allen is with the Yankees.

If at first you don't succeed, try left field.
Free Brandon Allen!

by dbacks25 on Feb 25, 2026 6:11 PM EST reply actions  

John how's Balcom-Miller not on here?

You love him! Is he too good already?

by adam.brown on Feb 25, 2026 6:18 PM EST reply actions  

I think enough people are on to him...

to no longer be considered a sleeper - just my opinion.

by dbreer23 on Feb 28, 2026 12:34 AM EST up reply actions  

Ordered the book earlier this week.

Can’t wait for it to get here! :)

by Subversive on Feb 25, 2026 8:57 PM EST reply actions  

Buddy Baumann is a really interesting guy

Great individual. You can’t help but root for him.
