Pablo Sandoval fighting for his job

by Chris McCoy | Giants Correspondent | Wed, Mar 23rd 9:39am EDT

On Monday against the Cardinals, Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval went 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of RBI. Sandoval is now hitting .265 on the spring with an OPS of .864.

Fantasy Impact:

Now seemingly engaged in an open competition with teammate Travis Shaw for the starting job at third base, Sandoval has responded in kind. However, drafting an established major league player who is locked in a playing time battle is a risky proposition in fantasy. The possibility exists that Sandoval wins the job and keeps up the pace throughout the year, but its just as possible that he continues to lose at-bats and winds up a highly paid afterthought.
