2009 FBS Sleeper Player: John Baker
Team: Florida Marlins
Bats: Left
Position: C
John Baker will enter this season as the Florida Marlins starting catcher. At 27 years old (28 now), Baker made his major league debut last season and in 197 at bats he batted .299 with 5 homeruns. Baker has a great compact swing and by hugging the plate he will be able to extend his bat and get plenty of extra base hits. 19 of hit 59 hits were extra base hits. He has OK speed, but we don't expect too much running. He has solid power, but we expect him to hit more for average and RBI potential then anything else. Still, if you need a catcher late, John Baker is a guy to grab.
Prediction: .286 average, 14 homers, 61 RBI, 57 runs scored, 3 SB
