ANALYSIS: It's hard to imagine that an everyday position player for the defending World Champions can be considered a sleeper, but Jarrod Dyson fits that description. Dyson has not been a full-time starter in his seven-year tenure with the Royals, but this season he will get that opportunity. Despite never logging 300 at-bats in an MLB season, Dyson has stolen at least 25 bases each of the past four seasons. It's not a big stretch to imagine he is capable of 50 SB, which puts him in rare company. The trade-off here (there's always a catch) is a downgrade in all other categories.
Dyson is a career .255 hitter who has amassed a total of six homers and 79 RBI in all of his seven seasons. Even though he plays on a top team, he is hitting near the bottom of the lineup, which reduces his run-scoring chances. If you are looking for a boost in the stolen base department and can afford to sacrifice the other categories for one of your outfield positions, Dyson is your man.
