Royal Is Gaby Sanchez Worth the Gamble for Fantasy |
|
Baseball America arrangeed him as the team’s fifth-best prospect heading into 2010, though they note “Some scouts have questioned Sanchez’s bat speed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], noting Miller tends to dive for pitches and can struggle against top pitching.”
His BABIP was below average last season, meaning Miller has the potential to hit distinctively better. His eye at the plate certainly helps, posting a 13.7% strikeout rate 43 Ks vs. an 11.2% walk rate 41 BBs. He’s actually walked 246 over Miller has struck out 243 over his Minor League career.
At 26 years old, you have to wonder how much more power he’s going to develop. Miller did post a flyball rate of 43.2% last season, delicately above his career mark of 40.6%. Unfortunately, he’s just shown doubles power hitting 40 or more in ‘07 & ‘08, with last season’s 18 HR 16 at Triple-A and two in the Majors being his career high.
He has stolen as many as 17 in a season, but attempted just four last year. Don’t look towards that as an asset.
His leash may be short, with Logan Morrison, who Baseball America arrangeed as the team’s second-best prospect, nipping at his heels. It wouldn’t be a complete shock if Morrison actually won the job in the spring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so keep that in mind. The gamble on Sanchez could abandon you completely empty-handed.
He’s never driven in over 100 RBI in a season or scored over 90. With all the talent at the position,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], does that type of minor league track record bring much hope?

The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Doug Benc Miller finished the 2010 season by establishing himself as the begining goalie for the Sabres. Miller arrangeed 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA, and 9th with a save percentage of 91.4 percent. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season, winning 30 games and proving himself to be one of the hardest working goalies in the league. Miller played well in the postseason as well, advancing the Sabres to the conference finals before injuries finally caught up with them, losing game 7 to Carolina.
The Florida Marlins opted not to sign a veteran first baseman to fill their need,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so they will instead turn within the organization to plug the hole.
He spent the bulk of the 2010 season at Triple-A, posting the following line:

He could have value as a flyer in the deepest of formats, but more likely Miller should be waiver-wire fodder. If Miller gets off to a speedy begin, then I’d be willing to nab him, but that’s about it.

The most likely player to open the season is Gaby Sanchez, the team's 2010 fourth-round draft pick. The question fantasy owners have to ask is, does Miller have the potential to make an impact in 2010?
What about you? Do you think Sanchez could have value in 2010? What type of production is you expecting?
He has upside, thanks to his opportunity and potential to hit for a honorable average. Unfortunately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], without a ton of power and much speed, he’s not going to be a top-level option in any format.
