Fantasy Analysis
Tillman gave up five runs -- four earned -- and 12 hits over 12 1/3 innings this spring with three walks and six strikeouts. Tillman had one option remaining and the Orioles used it. "He's made strides," said manager Buck Showalter. "Keep in mind he's still one of the younger guys in camp pitching-wise. Tillman's maturity level, everything, he's so close to putting it together. There's a reason why he stayed here as long as he did. He made a lot of strides. I like where he is. I expect him to have a big year." Tillman should start for Baltimore at some point this year but he's only going to have AL-only Fantasy value. (Updated 03/31/2012).
