The best fantasy baseball owners are the ones who scour rosters to find the best under-the-radar talent.

Everyone can pick Miguel Cabrera, but it's the ones who picked Chris Davis last year that are true fantasy geniuses.

This year is no different. Finding sleepers is paramount if you want to win your league.

So who are the fantasy baseball sleepers in 2014 that absolutely need to be on your team? We'll break them down below:

Traditionally, Cubs fans don't have a lot to look forward to with each new season. At least that has been the case on the north side for several years now and fans surely want to find some solace in different aspects of this year's team. Unlike in the past few years, they can actually find a few things to give them comfort about the year to come and the next couple years of Cubs baseball.

Here are five big reasons why the Mets could have a winning record this season.

R.A. Dickey has played the part of beguiling knuckleball artist to the tune of a Cy Young Award. However, if all goes according to plan, his entire life could just captivate a movie audience. 

The Detroit Tigers signed two-time MVP Miguel Cabrera on Thursday to the highest payout in MLB history per Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.

The Los Angeles Dodgers began the defending of their 2013 NL West division title by pummeling the Arizona Diamondbacks in their two-game series in Sydney, Australia, last Saturday. The 3-1 and 7-5 victories were an ideal start to a campaign filled with champagne dreams. However, Dodgers fans should resist the urge to start waiving World Series championship flags with 160 games still left on the schedule.

It's never a good thing when the skipper walks to the mound, unless the manager is Terry Francona and he is meandering over to the bump to relay that you made the team. 

Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout have become the Larry Bird and Magic Johnson of modern baseball debate and conversation. Rarely will analysts utter one without the other. In light of Miguel Cabrera's record-breaking contract extension, an obvious question emerges: What about Mike Trout?
