You like sleepers? I made Bloomquist one of my Picks in this year’s Guide. As Bob Melvin says in this story, He’s not afraid to get dirty.
He’s also learned to play shortstop, which means he’s primed to assume Desi Relaford’s role from last year, backing up Carlos Guillen and whoever else needs help. Desi got 329 AB last year, and with only an ageing Mark McLemore standing between him and the super-sub job, a dollar starts to sound cheap.
