Sleeper Steals

MLB -- Buster Olney: People expect Roy Halladay to simply destroy the National League - ESPN:

"So far this spring, the White Sox have 12 steals in seven games. This is Ozzie's kind of club, writes Joe Cowley. I've been telling friends who ask for fantasy advice: Take Juan Pierre, because he might steal 65 to 75 bases with Ozzie managing the team this way."

As long as you're not paying top value for Pierre, I am OK with the dreaming. However, I would not take him anytime sooner than the 8th or 9 round because he is older, and I don't trust him to handle the same load as younger players like Jacoby Ellsbury or Michael Bourn can.
