BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 250
ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Hunter Strickland is looking for a better year in 2019. His 2018 season started out decently enough, but a broken hand after a blown save landed him on the disabled list and he wasn't nearly as effective upon his return. Strickland gives up a lot of hard contact and doesn't have particularly good control (10.5 BB%) which can lead to some big innings.
He's slotted in as the closer for the Mariners right now, but there are other capable arms in the bullpen that should make Strickland's leash somewhat short. He's a name to consider drafting at the end of mixed league drafts, as he can be had for extremely cheap and grabbing saves towards the end of drafts is always a good idea.
