Shane Victorino (OF, BOS) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Late in Very Deep Leagues

ANALYSIS: Considering he missed all but 30 games in 2014, Shane Victorino is a big risk for fantasy owners in terms of health. Throw in his declining production and the deep outfield competition he’ll face in Boston, and you have the recipe for a player who should go extremely late in drafts, most likely in the mid-300s. If you have faith that Victorino can stay healthy and be a productive platoon player, he can be a valuable deep sleeper in 2015.

Part of how much Victorino plays is going to be determined by how well his peers perform. After Hanley Ramirez, Victorino will fight Mookie Betts and Rusney Castillo for the majority of the playing time, but there’s a good chance that Victorino gets a solid share of at-bats to start the year.

Even if no other trades are made, Victorino is a nice option when it comes to the very end of your draft in a draft league. Victorino had been a consistent player up to his injury plagued 2014, and at age 34, he could still go back to producing at the level he once did.
