BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues
OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: I mentioned last week that Miguel Castro might be faltering, and sure enough Brett Cecil was announced as the Jays closer coming into this week. At only 54% owned in fantasy leagues, Cecil would be a nice pickup off the waiver wire.
There was only one save opportunity for the Jays this week and Cecil was able to convert, only allowing a single. Today he converted another. It is a little troubling that Cecil gives up a lot of base runners and isn’t a huge strikeout threat, but there is always value in grabbing a pitcher who will be owning the closing job for the foreseeable future. I also don’t expect any competition for the job especially since Castro wasn’t able to earn the confidence of manager John Gibbons and was demoted to the minors.
