In Kevin Kiermaier's Case, Defense Paves Way for Offense

Kevin Kiermaier made history in 2015, finishing with the fourth most defensive wins above replacement in baseball history and the second most since 1920. He is undoubtedly one of the best defensive players in the game, and that helps him from a fantasy standpoint more than most people would think. Kiermaier brings mild offensive production, but his glove will allow him to stay on the field. As long as he is healthy, he should see at least 500 at-bats, which could lead to solid counting stats. Consider Kiermaier a decent sleeper in AL-Only and deep mixed leagues.
