Every year there are guys that seemingly come out of nowhere to find spots and produce on championship fantasy rosters. Last year we had Broxton, Ethier, Miner, and Chuck James - all of whom spent time on one of my fantasy teams.

You never know which non-hyped call up is going to make a difference for your fantasy season. Anyone can predict that the Jered Weaver's, Cole Hamels's and Delmon Young's of the world are going to be productive contributors when they come up.
