BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 240
CURRENT ADP: ~286 overall
ANALYSIS: Entering spring training, Mason Miller was a buzzy RP2 pick after it was reported that he was moving to the bullpen this season. We all just assumed that he would step right into the closer role, as Oakland's bullpen lacks many other exciting late-inning options.
But alas, that won't be the case, at least not to open the season, as Miller will be used more in high-leverage multi-inning roles, at least initially. If you don't play in leagues that value holds in some way, his value gets dinged a decent amount if he's not the closer.
Miller has been electric this spring and has yet to give a run while posting a 0.25 WHIP and 7:0 K: BB across four appearances. The A's bullpen doesn't have many options to close out games; with that being said, Miller should eventually close as he's the team's most talented arm in the bullpen and is worth a late-round flier around pick 275.
