Preseason Outlook

Howell's status with the Rays is a good news, bad news thing. One, he has a great pitching staff and contender to get him save chances if he is serving as the closer. But two, the Rays have a great number of talented young arms that could be elevated to closer's role. And three, Howell is a lefty that manager Joe Maddon might prefer to use in situational circumstances. With all that said, Howell has the potential to be one of the breakthrough relievers in Fantasy this season, especially since some uncertainty drags his value into the latter rounds on Draft Day. Pay very close attention to the Rays in spring training, because Howell could prove to be 2010 version Heath Bell or even Jonathan Broxton. (Updated 1/7/10)
