Fantasy Analysis
Sosa, 26, started six games in the minors this season and registered a 2-0 record with a lowly 5.11 ERA. The right-hander still had trouble with his command and fanned 21 batters over 31 2/3 innings. Fantasy owners should leave him untouched in all formats. (Updated 05/18/2012).
09/27/2011 23:55 Cardinals tie wild-card race with win over Astros
The St. Louis Cardinals are tied with Atlanta for the NL wild-card lead, getting a clutch two-run triple from Ryan Theriot in the seventh inning of a 13-6 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
Henry Sosa got his first taste of the majors in 2011 but showed that he was not quite ready. After being traded from the Giants in July, he joined the rotation for the Astros in mid-August and went 3-5 with a 5.23 ERA in 10 starts. The 26-year-old has had a couple of decent seasons in the minors but is not considered a top prospect. He is expected to complete for a spot in the rotation during the spring and there have even been rumors about him being considered for the closer's role as well. He would have the most value if he's pitching in the ninth inning but given his outlook, leave Sosa for deeper NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 1/9/12)
