2009 FBS Sleeper Player: Matt Wieters

Team: Baltimore Orioles

Bats: Switch

Position: C

Matt Wieters is one of the top prospects coming into this season. In single A and AA ball, Wieters hammered 27 homeruns and hit .355 in 437 at bats. The Orioles aren't sure if they will being him up right away and most likely wait until late May or early June. They backed up that thought by signing Gregg Zaun. However, we think Wieters will be up this year and he will make a quick impact has a power hitting catcher who can also hit for average. One advantage that he has for getting more at bats, he's a switch hitter. This should give him great matchups and allow the Orioles to use him more often. He would be lucky to 350-375 at bats, but we suspect in his shortened season he will make a great fantasy impact. Don't wait to long to grab this sleeper as his ADP is around 127 (13th round). Remember he is a rookie and he will go through slumps and god and bad days. However, if you get Wieters and everything goes right, you will have a stellar young catcher.

The True Guru Projections: 15 Hrs, 52 RBI, 42 Runs, .298 Avg, 1 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.
