Fantasy Analysis
After Alderson's ERA soared to 6.03 in 2010, the Pirates figured it was time for a change. Now that he has moved to the bullpen, he is looking more like the Baseball America top 100 prospect he was considered in 2008 and 2009. You wonder if the Pirates are going to keep him as a reliever or move him back to the rotation. As of now, however, Alderson remains a risky long-term Fantasy keeper. (Updated 06/06/2011).
