FANTASY PROFILE: TRAVIS d’ARNAUD, C, NEW YORK METS
Pos. rank 14, Captains Value $0.06
I wrote about Travis d’Arnaud here, and as you can see I am quite bullish on him in my projections. His career thus far has been hampered by injuries, but after a slow start to his rookie season of 2014 (partly due to injury), he turned it on in the second half and showed us what he can do. A paltry .217/.292/.354 line in the first half of 2014 raised some eyebrows, but once he got healthy, he put up a .265/.313/.474 line in the second half of 2014, showing much improved plate discipline.
Give him a full healthy season behind the plate and you could be looking at your sleeper at the catcher position for 2015.
