SubscribeIf I could choose one player who would never be discussed again on a fantasy site, my request would be Nelson Cruz. It sickens me to even write the name.
Now, don’t mistake this as a fear of having my sleepers exposed. No, the nausea I feel just comes from hearing Cruz discussed…ad nauseum.
So if you are thinking about writing about Nelson Cruz, let me remind you: Everyone else has already written about him. In case you missed it, there was at least:
Has Nelson Cruz Broken His Quad-A Ceiling (Fangraphs)
Your #1 Sleeper (RotoAuthority)
Nelson Cruz to bat clean-up (Rotoprofessor)
Sleepers Quickly Becoming Overrated (Roto Savants)
Player Profile: Nelson Cruz (FantasyPros911)
Shall We Discuss Nelson Cruz One More Time (Roto Savants)
Nelson Cruz 2009 (The Waiver Wire)
The topic is exhausted. These writers have covered every angle of the situation, and covered them multiple times. I don’t think there is anything unique left to contribute.
So, please; everyone has heard enough. Nelson Cruz is simply not a sleeper.
(And let’s hope that I don’t have to go through this again in a couple of weeks for Pablo Sandoval…)

Just wanted to let you guys in on a nice little sleeper I’ve noticed: Nelson Cruz
@Nick: Don’t make me ban you. :-(
Ha!
Seriously, don’t even joke about banning me! I LOVE the LPP and the Price Guide.
Maybe we should resolve to not even use his name, instead referring to him only as a symbol. He could just be {}. No wait, Sigur Ros already used that one.
Then, when the post-sleeper hype dies down he could become “the player formerly known as {}”
This happened with Corey Hart a couple of years ago. He was a guy that was a nice upside pick at $5 or so and ended up going for $14.
Good stuff, Mays. I think the sleepers for next year will end up being the guys everyone knows about b/c all the hyped guys will get overpicked.
I’m waiting for the mock draft where Chris Davis is taken over Justin Morneau.
