Who are your sleeper teams in 14... My pick is the Royals! They have the right pieces to make an run.

The Yankees. But not for the team they have now but because of the team they can reassemble as the season progresses. Cash is King. I'd also be interested in seeing what one could get for this unknown minor league prospect Alex Rodriguez they have.

I like the Royals chances too this year. I could actually see the White Sox being a sleeper team.

Also if you consider Seattle a sleeper cause most analyst didnt think Cano would add enough to get them to the postseason. I could see Seattle making a run at the West this year.

I dont think there is any real what you would call sleeper teams in the NL, but if I had to pick 1 it might the Brewers unfortunately.

Why you say unfortunately the Brew Crew? Because of your Reds. The Reds and Brewers will be fighting for third in the division.

Would you consider the White Sox be a rebuilding team. Or a sleeper?

92 wins last year, but no one seems to respect them at all, so I'd say sure. But they shouldn't be.

I think they will be 5 more games better than last year.

Wow, that is quite optimistic.

They're an improved team offensively almost by default - Bourn and Cabrera both had down years, and Drew Stubbs isn't there anymore and David Murphy is almost certainly an upgrade there. Question is gonna be the pitching - the loss of Jimenez and Kazmir is gonna hurt, but a full year of Salazar should offset that a bit. Trevor Bauer's performance yesterday was really encouraging but he is still on the outside looking in for the rotation.

Anyway, people that aren't giving the Indians credit are going to be surprised when they're an high 80's-low 90's win team again this year.

Oh I not speaking low about the Tribe. They always been a quite that making noise and never get the attention they deserve. Yea I agree the pitching has to hold up to be were they was last year. Yan Gomes is gonna surprise a lot of people this year. With Santana at 3rd that's gonna be interesting to follow. I like playing with underdog teams but I don't think the Tribe qualifies as a underdog. Teams like Astros, Cubs, Twins, Padres, Brewers, White Sox comes to mind.
