Eligibility
Al Alburquerque picked up his fourth win of the 2015 season on Monday. The fourth-year reliever threw a scoreless 10-pitch inning against Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Impact
Al Alburquerque now has a 4-1 record on the year. Seeing as he is coming out of the bullpen in a non-closer role, he consistently has zero fantasy value. He cannot be relied on for any meaningful innings and should not be owned unless everybody else has had their arms fall off.
Al Alburquerque faced eight batters Friday against the Rays, but only got one out. Alburquerque allowed five hits, walked two, and was charged with six earned runs in the outing.
Fantasy Impact
In his previous eight innings pitched during Spring Training, Alburquerque was doing well with a 10/1 K/BB ratio. Although Alburquerque has always had good stuff, his control has been a problem. Despite the rest of his Spring Training stats, Alburquerque will likely not see a chance for a setup role in the early part of the season after this dismal performance.
