2009 FBS Sleeper Player: Aaron Hill

Team: Toronto Blue Jays

Bats: Right

Position: 2B

Aaron Hill was a player ready for a breakout season in 2008. Then a couple of months into the season he had an on-field collision with David Eckstein, which effectively ended his season with what they called a mild concussion. Aaron Hill is primed and ready for 2008 and at the prime age of 27 he can certainly do it. We look for him to be in the running for comeback player of the year. He is a solid starting second basemen and might even add shortstop to his available positions with a move to shortstop this season. Hill has 15-20 homerun power, and has the capability of stealing 5-10 bases. He has always been a good hitter, batting .291 2 out of 3 years. We see him have a great year and avoiding injury. His head injury is all but gone and he will be ready for spring training. He is a sleeper because of his poor stats from last season and because of his season ending injury. He should be available late in the draft and it would be a steal to get him after the 14th round.

The True Guru Projections: 20 Hrs, 87 RBI, 90 Runs, .292 Avg, 7 SB

We feel he will achieve these projections through our formula based on our secret formula of 11 herbs and spices (its locked at Fort Knox). Of course we are assuming he stays relatively healthy for the entire season.
