With the end of the 2009 fantasy baseball season in sight, now is the time to pick up that sleeper that can put your fantasy team over the top. Here’s a look at some of the hottest fantasy baseball sleepers in the major leagues.
Nyjer Morgan, Washington Nationals
Earlier in the season, the Pirates traded Nyjer Morgan to the Nationals. With Washington, Morgan has been a star. In 38 games, he’s hitting .365 with 28 runs and 20 stolen bases. Get him on your fantasy team if he’s available.
Rajai Davis, Oakland Athletics
Although he was slumping earlier in the season, Rajai Davis is now swinging a very hot bat. He hit over .400 in July and is hitting better than .350 in August. He has 11 stolen bases since the All-Star break.
Chris Coghlan, Florida Marlins
Although he has had an up-and-down rookie campaign, Chris Coghlan is really playing well right now. In August, he’s hitting .436 and has an on-base percentage of .500 for the month.
Jason Bartlett, Tampa Bay Rays
Early on in the 2009 fantasy baseball season, Jason Bartlett was one of the biggest surprises. After being quiet in July, he has been nails in August. For the month, he’s hitting .400 with three homers, 12 RBIs and 11 runs.
