By now, we should all have a pretty good idea how much Shane Victorino has to offer in Fantasy. We just don't know what he has to offer. His contributions have varied from one year to the next, with losses in one area accompanying gains in another. Last year his stolen bases took a hit, dropping from 34 to 19, but he finished with a career-high .491 slugging percentage, which contributed to a career-high .847 OPS. The year-to-year fluctuation might be frustrating for Rotisserie-league owners, who draft players expecting them to deliver certain numbers in certain categories, but as long as you approach Victorino with the understanding that he's a bit of a wild card, you'll be pretty satisfied with him in the end. He has had his share of injuries over the years, spending separate stints on the DL last year with a strained hamstring and sprained thumb, but at age 31, he's not at the point yet when they're a foregone conclusion. And who knows? With his power numbers on the rise and his need to run expected to increase with middle-of-the-order hitters Chase Utley and Ryan Howard showing their age, Victorino could still have that perfect season when everything comes together. He's worth drafting as a borderline No. 1 Fantasy OF in the early rounds. (Updated 2/13/12)
