For the All-Undrafted team, we look at consensus FantasyPros average draft position (ADP) data and target names outside the top 300. This will be the range of players that go undrafted in many leagues. We will pick one player per position. One trend you will see in these picks is a path to playing time and plate appearances being a heavy influence. That is because as you get later into the player pool, playing time and plate appearances are king. Here is the full undrafted team including fantasy baseball sleepers and values to draft. Below we dive into a few notable names.

Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers to Target
Jameson Taillon (SP – CHC)
2023 was a tale of two seasons. Jameson Taillon in the second half found his stuff and the numbers were a night and day difference.
| ERA | 6.15 | 3.70 |
|---|---|---|
| FIP | 4.90 | 4.36 |
| xFIP | 4.80 | 4.36 |
| SIERA | 4.62 | 4.11 |
| WHIP | 1.40 | 1.17 |
| K-BB% | 13.2% | 16.9% |
It came with a change in his pitch mix as well. This makes it more believable. If he carries over how he finished the year into 2024, you are getting a solid back-end starting pitcher for deeper formats.
Matt Brash (RP – SEA)
Matt Brash is more of a watch list guy right now but once he is healthy and back on the mound he is someone worth having on your team. He will pitch leverage for the Mariners. This team will win a ton of close games. This will allow him to grab a few wins and saves in that role. Not to mention Andres Munoz is not known for staying healthy either.
At the end of the day, all the closer options are gone at this point and he provides the potential to grab some saves once he is healthy. Other names I would place in this same conversation are David Robertson of the Texas Rangers and Shelby Miller of the Detroit Tigers. Both are going late and have a shot at grabbing some saves given the other options in their respective bullpens.
Kyle Manzardo (1B – CLE)
Unfortunately, Kyle Manzardo seems likely to begin the season in Triple-A, which has been speculated all spring long. That speculation is fueled by ongoing reports and a lack of usage in spring games. Manzardo is someone you should stash in deeper leagues. He is a great fit if your league has not active (NA) slots. His plate approach and power upside remind me of an Anthony Rizzo-type ceiling.
Manzardo has a strong plate approach and good barrel skills. The ability to combine the two can be difference-making if it clicks at the MLB level. He has consistently posted sub 20% K% and double-digit walk rates throughout the minors. In Triple-A last year he posted an 86.4% z-contact%, a 111.9 MPH max exit velocity and a 44.8% hard hit%. He should be up early and the power potential is something you will likely want a part of.
