Fantasy Gem...

Although he is probably gone in most leagues it would be a good idea for you to pick up Rafael Betancourt if he is still available. This is the guy who has the nasty stuff in the Cleveland bullpen. Many experts thought he was the better option to close than Joe Borowski just because of stuff. His mid 90's fastball and breaking pitches with movement are stellar.

The rest of the Indians bullpen is pretty good with Rafael Perez and Jorge Julio (I know...but he isn't a bad 7th inning or 6th inning guy) so the Indians should still have leads for Betancourt to hold.

Another interesting aspect of this is now he will get his chance with Joe Bo blowing saves...then going on the DL. Betancourt will get the save opportunities and could be a serious sleeper...and keep the job when Joe Bo comes off the DL.

The Indians will contend in the AL Central and Rafael Betancourt will be a factor.

I drafted him in one of my leagues with a deep bench for just this reason. I thought this would be the year where Borowski's below average stuff and 5.00+ ERA would catch up with him...looks like it ws a good move.



About BigTen's Fantasy Baseball Blog
Ok so the Fantasy Baseball Board is near dead the now that leagues are beginning to form and people are starting to think about Fantasy Baseball I say put it here. If you have a "breakout" player list, or sleeper list, or overrated list whatever. Put it on here and some exchange can happen. This is my last hope to revive this blog idea..
