2009 Updated Injury Sleepers
A couple of weeks ago I looked at potential sleepers based off their injury history or current injury. Now that we’re getting closer to Opening Day and probably in the middle of some drafts the next couple of weeks.

Vladimir Guerrero isn’t the same player that he was years ago. Injuries have sapped his speed and he’s reaching an age where the little nagging injuries start to take hold. He’s also reaching an age where injuries start to really hamper his production. He’s no longer the 30/30 threat. He may not reach 30 HR this year since he hasn’t reach it the previous two and thus shouldn’t be drafted as such. He’s no longer the 1st rounder that he used to be and instead is really a 3rd or 4th rounder. I might take hell for it, but there are several 25+HR OF out there who are younger and less risky.
