Tillman ahead of last season: According to MASNSports.com, Baltimore SP Chris Tillman is working with special assistant Brady Anderson in California. He said Anderson has him in good shape and is ready for spring training. "I've been throwing a lot lately and I'm way ahead of where I was at last year," Tillman said. "It's an exciting time for all of us." Tillman will be competing for a spot in the rotation again this year after having two stints with the Orioles last season. (Updated 02/02/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Tillman is 43-37 with a 3.88 ERA in 120 minor league games (115 starts), and 7-15 with a 5.58 ERA in 36 major league starts. He's only 23 and does have one more minor league option remaining, which the team may have to use in April. Then there is always the possibility of a trade, which could alter his Fantasy value depending on where he lands. For now, owners should continue to view him as a low-end keeper option.
