Fantasy Analysis
Chamberlain went 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 27 relief appearances last year. It takes most pitchers 12-18 months to return from Tommy John surgery, but Chamberlain hopes to return for spring training. While that is a long shot, he will likely return to the team at some point this season. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his progress, but Chamberlain can go undrafted in most Fantasy leages this spring. (Updated 02/03/2012).
