Fantasy Analysis
Isringhausen went 3-3 with a 4.05 ERA last year, but started the season pitching well. He even earned five saves, which brought him to 300 for his career. The Mets have addressed the bullpen this offseason, adding Frank Francisco, Jon Rauch and Ramon Ramirez to the mix. Even if Isringhausen returns to the Mets or finds himself pitching for another team, he probably won't be the closer. He should be ignored on Draft Day, unless something drastic happens.
