BALLER MOVE: Target ~250
CURRENT ADP: 269
ANALYSIS: For the most part, the Milwaukee Brewers represent a fantasy baseball dead zone in 2016, but closer Will Smith gives owners something to get excited about. Last year, 64.7% of Smith’s pitches were strikes. This split aided him in holding batters to a .218 average, and earned him a polished .247 FIP. Paul Kastava of Fangraphs attributes Smith’s improved performance over the course of his career to increased usage of his slider, putting him on a path similar to that of Andrew Miller. The Brewers may not find themselves in many save situations, but if they do, you can count on Smith.
