BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues
OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Smith has been a recommended grab for weeks, but now that Fernando Rodney has been at least temporarily removed from the closer’s role to work on his mechanics, Smith becomes a must add for all owners looking for saves. His second save of the season came last Tuesday against the Indians, and he did allow one run during the outing. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old has been too good all season to not control the ninth inning for Seattle going forward. Despite his 32:5 K:BB ratio in 27 innings this season with a 1.27 ERA and 0.74 WHIP, he is owned in just 25 percent of fantasy leagues. That number should substantially rise now that he’s the Mariners first option for save opportunities.
