Russell Martin (CA, TOR) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 Overall ANALYSIS: Russell Martin hit .290/.402/.430 (all bests since 2007) and finished seventh among C in 2014, but is being ranked just 13th for 2015. I understand the skepticism among fantasy owners, but he did improve his BB% (12.8%) and K% (17%) in 2014 and was surrounded by a much-improved Pirates offense. In Toronto, he’ll be […]
