Giovanny Urshela (3B, CLE) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Late in Keeper/Dynasty Leagues

ANALYSIS: Lonnie Chisenhall struggled in the second half of 2014, and if he wins the Indians' starting third base job, he could be on a short leash. Giovanny Urshela is an internal option who could give Chisenhall a run for his money as early as Spring Training. Urshela was one of the youngest players in Triple-A last season at age 22, and slashed .276/.331/.473 in 430 plate appearances.

His calling card is 70-grade defense on the 20-80 scale used by scouts. While defense doesn’t add any value to a fantasy team, it does afford Urshela a clearer path to playing time. Urshela is the kind of player that managers in deep leagues or dynasty leagues should watch. He doesn’t have the same upside as some other prospects, but he could surprise when he gets the chance.
