Preseason Outlook

This very possibly is the best middle reliever the Fantasy public does not know about. It is because he is stuck behind AL Rookie of the Year Andrew Bailey in Oakland and will merely be a setup man in 2010. He enjoyed a breakthrough last season, though, getting his ERA under 3.00, his WHIP under 1.000 and his strikeout total over 100. That is stuff of a top-five closer. Wuertz will probably take a step back this season, but drafting him in Rotisserie leagues and formats that use true middle men is still a great idea -- even if just for the strikeout rate alone.
