Pablo Sandoval loses weight over the winter

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Pablo Sandoval has lost 20-22 pounds this winter. It sounds like Sandoval has committed to improving his physical fitness as he enters Year 2 of a five-year, $95 million pact with Boston, but we won't be able to see the fruits of his labor until Grapefruit League play begins.

Fantasy Impact:
Pablo Sandoval was a major disappointment for fantasy owners last season. There are always injury risks surrounding Sandoval but last year, owners had to deal with nagging injuries that would cost him multiple games every few weeks. On top of that, his production dropped even though he went to a hitter friendly ballpark in a potent lineup. Sandoval finished hitting .247 with 47 RBI. It will be interesting how he looks in spring training but for now, he should be avoided in early fantasy drafts.
