Sleepers fall into a few categories. Guys who disappointed last year who could bounce back; players who have a solid pedigree who just haven't broken out yet, and the ones that have broken out who no one trusts to repeat. The last group is usually the least interesting. You've presumably seen their best. Seems like the only mystery there is is their (palindromic stutterer!) downside. It's prolly why 50% of marriages end in divorce. The first category of those that could bounce back are the relationships where you've broken up a dozen times, walked in on your ex while she was sniffing Ambien off some guy's chest named Bob and Bob is hung like Bojack Horseman. But, ya know what, you're gonna give her one more chance to bounce back to some of those fun times you had eighteen months ago. The 2nd group is the rando you met at the bar who was doing shots of Tito's, who seems like she's gonna be so much fun, but you really don't know why her and her friends keep calling you, "Door Number Three." The third group is the one you've had fun with it, you don't see anything wrong with it, but there's gotta be some downside so you're going back to the "Bob boffer" or being "Door Number Three." It never occurs to you that maybe a solid, safe bet who you already had fun with is worth just sticking with. The third group is where
Paul DeJong resides. Last year, he had 25 HRs and hit .285 in only 417 ABs. Okay, but how about the "Bob boffer?" So, what can we expect from Paul DeJong for 2018 fantasy baseball and what makes him a sleeper?
