Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2017
Sullivan was part of the Rays' 60-man player pool last season, but despite the team's struggles finding some consistency behind the plate, the 26-year-old never got the call. A shortstop when he was drafted out of college in 2015, Sullivan has kept his athleticism and has gone 42-for-54 on stolen base attempts over 237 games at Double-A as part of a well-rounded offensive game. The fact that he's been stuck at Double-A all that time without getting a promotion doesn't suggest the organization views him too highly, but he could get a shot as a utility role in the majors at some point. He's not going to become the next J.T. Realmuto, but Sullivan could someday offer a bit of steals potential while still qualifying at catcher.
Sullivan is the exceedingly rare breed of backstop that provides plenty of pop at the plate and can create some havoc on the basepaths. He demonstrated improvement across the board last season at Low-A Bowling Green, slashing .283/.314/.438 with 13 homers, 81 RBI and 17 stolen bases. The 24-year-old could certainly be in line for a promotion to High-A Charlotte in 2017, where he could well take the next step in his development. The addition of Wilson Ramos gives the Rays a solution behind the plate through the 2018 campaign, but Sullivan is undoubtedly a player with plenty of dynasty potential at a position where his offensive skill set is often at a premium.
