2009 FBS Sleeper Player: Chris Dickerson
Team: Cincinnati Reds
Bats: Left
Position: OF
After a fairly successful minor league career, Chris Dickerson joined the Reds on August 12th and really never stopped hitting. Dickerson got off to a hot start, as he had six hits, a homer, and steal in his first three games. In his 31 games he hit .304, six homers, drove in 15 runs, and stole five bases. So many fantasy players who are out of their race stop paying attention in the last month or so of the season, so many might not be hip to the kind of impact that Dickerson had. There is a strong possibility that Dickerson will hit second for the Reds this season, which would be ideal for his fantasy production. He will be able to drive in a decent number of runs, steal some bases, hit for a little bit of power, and score a ton of runs. If you are wondering if his numbers are for real, go back to his minor league career, and you will see that this was not smoke and mirrors. Before his call up Dickerson had hit 11 homers and stole 26 bases in his 97 games at AAA-Louisville. The batting average might be a little bit high to hope for again, but Dickerson certainly has the talent to be a potential 20/30 player and a guy I would like to have as a low end third or high end fourth outfielder. He should certainly produce again and is a great guy to target later in drafts.
Prediction: .279 average, 21 homers, 71 RBI, 82 runs scored, 27 steals
