BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues
ANALYSIS: Current Pirates closer Mark Melancon has a fastball averaging 88.7 mph, after averaging 91.6 mph last year. The drop in velocity is enough to make you keep your eye on Tony Watson, the primary set-up man in Pittsburgh. Watson was dominant out of the Pirates’ bullpen last year, striking out 81 batters in 77 1/3 innings to go along with a 1.63 ERA. He has been effective to start 2015, allowing just one hit and no walks or runs in his last five appearances after a shaky outing on Opening Day. If Melancon’s drop in velocity becomes a problem, Watson would be next in line for saves.
