6 years agoLast week, the Kansas City Royals leaned on pitcher Glenn Sparkman to make a spot start for them, and he looked great as he tossed seven shutout innings against the Rays. He was quickly sent back down, but now he's back for a while. Unfortunately, manager Ned Yost has decided to send him to the bullpen for now. Sparkman's performance last week was excellent and tempting, but there's not really much that's attractive in his profile. He was never dominant at Triple-A, he strikes out less than seven batter per nine innings and now he's going to be relegated to spot starts and long relief. For fantasy purposes, if he can make a couple more studly spot starts like he did against Tampa, then he might become worth watching. For now, he's just fodder.--Billy Stonick - RotoBaller
