Fantasy baseball is a work-driven game. Sure, it's not any of that "real" work like manual labor or going to the gym, but there's effort involved. And plenty of that effort goes into research.

Who's going to break out in 2012? What pitcher finally find his form? What previous unknowns will clean up?

These are just some of the questions fantasy baseball owners work hard every day to answer. Analyzing statistics and typing names into Google is no easy feat, either. In order to get the leg up on the competition, one has to be thoroughly prepared.

To help you on your way, we've put together some names that will serve as answers to those questions in 2012. This summer will feature plenty of break out seasons and even more sprints to the waiver wire, but if you can draft some premier talent in the later rounds of your draft, it will save you plenty of stress during the long summer months.

Check out our list of the top 10 fantasy baseball sleepers and you'll be able to do just that. You may recognize some of these names, but even if you do, they'll be the surprise performers for your team this year.
