Morales growing into role : Red Sox reliever Franklin Morales has gotten off to a nice start this season for Boston. Morales has retired eight of the nine batters he has faced this season, including three by strikeout over his first two appearances. "I feel normal. I feel strong. I feel positive," Morales told the Providence Journal. "What I need to do is when I have a chance, go out there and do my job. That's it." (Updated 04/09/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Morales did not get a chance to pitch much during spring training due to a shoulder injury but has looked sharp early on for the Red Sox. However, the left-hander most likely won't be in line to get many of any save chances this season, making his Fantasy appeal marginal in the majority of formats at this point. (Updated 04/09/2012).
