Collmenter adjusting well to relief role: Diamondbacks pitcher Josh Collmenter is adjusting well to his role as a long reliever. Collmenter has made four relief appearances in May since being booted from the rotation in late April. He has allowed just one run on eight hits and one walk in 10 innings (0.90 ERA). Collmenter also has eight strikeouts and a .229 opponents' batting average in that span. (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Collmenter seems to have found his calling as a long reliever. There is always the opportunity for him to return to the rotation or be called on for a spot start, but it just seems foolish for the Diamondbacks to remove him from his current role since he has adjusted so well. Collmenter doesn't have much Fantasy value, however, as a long reliever despite posting a respectable ERA in his new role. (Updated 05/24/2012).
05/21/2012 10:09 Reality Check: Is Bauer keeping you up at night?
Does the prospect of Trevor Bauer getting his Major League Baseball debut in the near future keep you up at night? Scott White soothes the situation in his latest Reality Check.
Given the trouble that Josh Collmenter had making the transition from Double-A to Triple-A in 2010, Fantasy owners can't be blamed for thinking that the 25-year-old would be a bust when he debuted for Arizona this past year. After a brief and successful trial in the Diamondbacks' bullpen, he graduated to the starting rotation in May and never looked back. Collmenter finished the year with a 10-10 record and a sparkling 3.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, and he even stifled the Brewers in an NLDS start. The righty with the tomahawk delivery pitches to contact, so he relies on sharp control and a high popup rate for his success. It is a formula that served Collmenter well for much of his minor league career, so a repeat performance is not out of the question. Though his relative lack of big league experience and prospect pedigree makes him a little risky for standard mixed leagues, owners could do worse with a late round pick. (Updated 1/9/12)
