Fantasy Analysis
Villanueva is 26-28 with a 4.28 ERA in 40 starts and 223 relief appearances with Milwaukee and Toronto. Villanueva seems to have carved out a niche as a long reliever/spot starter. Fantasy owners can leave him on waivers, however, until he is back in the rotation in 2012. He is expected to start out as a reliever. (Updated 01/17/2012).
