Fantasy Analysis
Wuertz was plagued by injuries throughout 2011 but has proven to be a viable middle reliever when healthy. He has a career 3.71 ERA while going 11 for 21 in save chances. He will likely not be a free agent for long but unless he lands a closing job in 2012, consider Wuertz as more of an option for formats that utilize middle men on Draft Day. (Updated 10/25/2011).
