John Farrell thrilled with progress of Shane Victorino
by Jared Zaworski | Wed, Apr 1st 9:04pm EDT
As spring training winds down, Farrell can't contain himself about just how capable Victorino has looked this spring. Barring injury in the final few days, Farrell is going to start Victorino in right field on Opening Day in Philadelphia. No matter how much the Red Sox paid to land Rusney Castillo just weeks after Victorino went under the knife, Victorino remains too impactful a player at his best for the team to cast aside.

Fantasy Impact:
With Victorino starting the season as the opening day starter in right field, Rusney Castillo will most likely open the season in Triple-A to get everyday at-bats to be ready for a call-up to Boston. If you draft Castillo stash him away until he is recalled. Victorino is not worthy of a draft selection coming off offseason back surgery.
