An everyday starting job in a good line-up, a lot of upside, and a strong track record? Sounds pretty darn good to me. Freese is an excellent sleeper in 2010, and someone who very well could outproduce their draft position/auction value. He'll certainly be on a number of my fantasy rosters this season. .285-75-15-75-0 in 525 at bats

Positives / Upside	The guy can plain hit! In four pro seasons, he has never posted an average below .300, and has displayed plenty of pop in the minors. The Cards considered making Freese an everyday player in 2009, but decided to give him another year of seasoning in the minors. After another successful minor league season, the Cards are ready to give the soon to be 27-year old the third base job in 2010.
Negatives / Downside	Sure, he slugged his way through the minors, but was "old" for his league at every stop. After bashing 26 homers in AA in 2008, he collected just 13 in four stops in 2009. The decrease in his power numbers raises a real question about the legitimacy of his power stroke. Taking a chance on a 27-year old rookie is not a great bet in the fantasy game.
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	310
