Jay Bruce (OF, CIN) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 7-9

ANALYSIS: Jay Bruce smacked 34 HR in 2013, driving in 109 runs and finishing tenth in MVP voting. But in 2014, his numbers fell significantly, as he hit just .217 with only 18 HR, marking the first time in his seven-year career that he didn't reach 20 HR. Following knee surgery last May, Bruce missed significant time and never really found his groove afterwards.

His 3.39 K/BB ratio and 45.2% GB rate were the worst of his career. The result was a less-than-fortunate .269 BABIP, his lowest total since 2010.

Because Bruce turned in such a pedestrian stat line last season, he’s being udervalued in 2015. At only 28 years old, he's in the prime of his career. After a full offseason to recover, he should be back in camp ready to produce at his 2013 level.

With an ADP of 100 right now, you’d be silly not to draft Bruce in the seventh to ninth rounds of your upcoming fantasy baseball draft.
