It seems as if this is the season everyone is willing to take a chance on Soria. Consistently ranked in the top seven closers, he will certainly provide a great WHIP and decent strikeouts for a closer.
But if you are willing to pick him near the eighth round, you would hope to get a decent number of saves out of him. Without many saves, Soria becomes an expensive Heath Bell.
Tigers - Jim Leyland decides it best to go closer-by-committee and no reliever collects more than 15 saves.
The Detroit bullpen is pretty crowded after the Brandon Lyon signing. Fernando Rodney is already complaining, and Joel Zumaya believes he is healthy. Throw in Ryan Perry, their 2008 first round pick, and you have a long list.
Unless Lyon steps up early in the season, Leyland may be forced to go with the hot hand, a disastrous proposition for fantasy owners looking to bolster their saves total.
Twins – Ron Gardenhire never settles on his best outfield/DH combination.
As muddled as the Twins' situation is right now, nothing could be worse for fantasy owners than Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Delmon Young, Denard Span, and Carlos Gomez all getting somewhere between 400-500 at bats, thus destroying much of their value.
White Sox – Bobby Jenks continues to experience a decrease in K/9IP and save opportunities.
