The following are the top sophomores who exhausted their rookie eligibility in 2010 either due to at-bats, innings or service time. They are broken out by position, with a top overlooked sophomore highlighted and the other candidates mentioned. There are varying degrees of fantasy potential here, but if there is a top sophomore talent who is getting undervalued in your league, he has great potential to outperform his draft position.
Highlight or mark these sophomores with an "S" on your cheat sheets and target them throughout the depths of your drafts.

RP Zach Braddock, Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers' struggles last year were related to pitching, but it was another rookie that took the closing reins from Trevor Hoffman: John Axford. Axford came out of nowhere to be a fantasy gem as a waiver pick-up. Now he enters spring training as the closer of choice, but the flame-throwing Braddock remains the closer-in-waiting. If Axford falters -- he wasn't highly regarded coming into last season -- Braddock could pick up the pieces and take off for what should be a contender in Milwaukee. Braddock will go undrafted in many leagues, too. He is this year's Axford.

Relief pitchers -- Axford, MIL; Zach Braddock, MIL; Andrew Cashner, CHC; Neftali Feliz, TEX; Jenrry Mejia, NYM; Sergio Santos, CHW; Hisanori Takahashi, LAA; Brad Thomas, DET; Jonny Venters, ATL.
