Analysis:

• James Loney probably isn't much of a sleeper after his outstanding .331/.381/.538 season as a 22/23 year old in '07. Still a good return on the dollar, as most projection systems are calling for less RBI than this.
• Other surprises on the list include Jack Cust, Rick Ankiel, and Carlos Pena. All were on the HR leader board as well, and discussed there.
