Fantasy Impact:
Giants manager Gabe Kapler said McGee "has a great chance to earn opportunities to pitch high-leverage innings late in games. He's a nice candidate to close games for us." McGee recently signed a two-year, $7 million deal with San Francisco after posting a stellar 2.66 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 33:3 K/BB ratio over 20 1/3 innings with the Dodgers last season. He should compete with fellow relievers Reyes Moronta and Tyler Rogers for the closer gig but neither of them performed very well last season for the Giants. This bit of news makes McGee an intriguing late round option in upcoming drafts.
