My optimism on whether we will have a 2020 season probably peaked 10 days or so ago when news broke of an 82-game season proposal starting in July. In this scenario, we would have a half-season with a DH and expanded roster. Lots of fantasy implications there right?

Regardless, this column goes on, so let's discuss a few of my sleepers based on this potential new reality.
Kevin Cron, Arizona
Maybe I'm a bit biased here, but as someone who lives in Reno and gets to watch the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate, the Reno Aces, I've seen enough of Cron to know that he can hit the ball very, very far.

At this point, looking through the Arizona depth chart, we could see Cron
