BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues
OWNED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Back then, pros didn’t want him. Now he’s hot, pros all on him.
That was a stretch and I don’t care, Nate Jones is for real (when he’s healthy) and should prove much more reliable and effective than Joakim Soria in the ninth inning. Nasty Nate has posted a 2.49 ERA with a 10.84 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 over his last three seasons, with the issue being that he’s managed to throw just 101 ⅓ innings since the 2014 season. Thanks a lot, multiple right elbow surgeries! I can’t sit here and act like Soria didn’t have a fantastic ‘17 campaign, his 3.70 ERA had a beautiful 2.23 FIP behind it! But he posted a 4.05 ERA/4.36 FIP the year before and will soon be 34, so I trust him less on the bump. I also think he’s more likely to get dealt midseason by a rebuilding White Sox team.
