Jose Guillen: Injury-Risk Sleeper

All is well for Jose Guillen and the Mariners. His stroke has been so effortless and lightning quick, manager Mike Hargrove calls Guillen's "the most pure swing" of the 62 Mariners in camp. And yes, three-time major league hits leader Ichiro Suzuki is still here. Even Guillen's reconstructed throwing elbow is doing well following ligament-replacement surgery that ended his season with Washington last July. He extended his throwing range to 140 feet Wednesday and said the plan is for him to be in right field for exhibition games in late March. Until then, he will be a DH, starting Thursday in an exhibition against San Diego. "The ball is just jumping out of my arm. It's so scary," Guillen said.

Guillen had a career-high 31 home runs with Cincinnati and Oakland in 2003, a career-best 104 RBI for Anaheim the following year, and 24 more home runs for Washington in '05. His 2006 season ended after just 69 games. Back in the AL with Seattle, he could be a sleeper on Draft Day, but you cannot count on his health. Even if his elbow is fine, he has had hamstring and shoulder issues to deal with, too. Consider him an injury-risk sleeper on Draft Day, one viable for deeper mixed leagues.
