I've never played fantasy BB....but anyone who does...

My sleeper pick, if nobody had him, is, Ross Ohlendorf....Pitcher for Pirates. I've seen him 3 times, and, although he is 1-2 against the Cardinals with an ERA around 4...he's probably 3-1 against the rest of league. Big strong kid, big ass, strong legs, great movement on ball....Guy is a damn good pitcher that most of you haven't heard of yet.

Guy is gonna be successful, even in Pittsburg.

He was a Yankee at one point wasn't he? Or at least a minor league for them...?

Both.
He was Torre's middle inning guy for parts of 2 season.
Sucked, he was a human on base machine.

Nice guy, glad to see he's stepping up some.

He is a borderline 5th starter at best, depending on the match up. I doubt he even would get drafted in a 10 team league. I would not call him much a sleeper.

His whip is 1.07. Halladay is 1.03 for comparison. Just telling you what i've seen from someone in 3 starts this year...He's pitching really well. Has a good build, great movement on his ball, he's gonna have success.

He may be a really good pitcher, but what hurts his fantasy value is the fact that he plays for the Pirates. Every league has different scoring, I guess. But a lot of leagues give points for wins and minus points for losses. That's why, most of the time, it's better to have an average pitcher for a good team than a good pitcher for a bad team.
