Fantasy Analysis
Arizona manager Kirk Gibson typically uses Daniel Hernandez in the eighth before closer J.J. Putz but after Shaw finished the eighth, Gibson stayed with him to finish the game. "He was up, he was warm," Gibson said. "I felt he was a good guy to get it done quickly for us. We just had a good feel about him and at the same time, give him some late-inning experience. He's fearless and you feel very confident with him in there." Consider Shaw a low-end option in deeper NL-only Fantasy formats that utilize middle relievers. (Updated 04/15/2012).
