Towards 2014: Which foreigners do we like/not like? (1 Viewer)

Abreu seems like a strong DH sleeper, depending on where he lands.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Not: The ones on discount PEDs, they always seem to get caught.

Not a foreigner, but I'm going to be putting a lot of time in on Billy Hamilton next Spring. Wow.

Alexander Guerrero

Looks like he has a great eye/power, but isn't going to help you with steals. Definitely intriguing:

I'm not sold on Guerrero as a fantasy asset. He seems to project as a Mark Ellis/Jed Lowrie type, which would make him more valuable in RL than in fantasy. And that's if he can handle a middle IF slot. If he lands on a team that buries him in the batting order, his production will get downgraded further.

I grabbed him in my dynasty a month ago or so hoping he lands in a place he starts right away. We'll see.

Sort of a contrarian piece on Jose Dariel Abreu. The 102 comments from Red Sox nation aren't essential reading.
