2009 FBS Sleeper Player: Elvis Andrus
Team: Texas Rangers
We heard all the malay that was caused when Mike Young got moved to 3B for the 20-year old SS. Elvis is allot of hype, but he potential to make a major impact on fantasy baseball. Andrus has little power, but he has tremendous speed. He has the capability to steal 50 bases similar to Jacoby Ellsbury last year, but we do not think he will do that. He will go through slumps, and will have a major learning curve, but his speed is too great to overlook. Look at Elvis Andrus as a late round sleeper and he could feel your SS slot. He will cost you at average and his strikeout rate is quite high at 20% through his career i the minors. Overall, he's a new version of Juan Pierre.

The True Guru Projections: 4 Hrs, 42 RBI, 71 Runs, .272 Avg, 35 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.

He's not a new version of Juan Pierre. One is an OF, the other is a SS. Late round SB wunderkinds are way more valuable at an MI slot than an OF slot, because there are a ton of solid OFs who Juan Pierre would dislodge, while late round shortstops are typically garbage.

"...and he could feel your SS slot."
Don't you mean "fill". Glaring mistakes like that do not feel me with confidence about your advice. I'm just saying...
