Fantasy Impact:
Teng, a Taiwanese-born righthander, has made 12 appearances for the Giants over the past two seasons and has posted a 7.30 ERA in 40.2 innings. He does have swing-and-miss stuff as evidenced by his 28.1% strikeout rate last year. However, his command has been an issue with 25 walks and eight hit batters. His seven years in the minors have yielded the same - good strikeout numbers, high walk rates, and an alarming number of hit batsmen. Teng will get an opportunity to break camp as a swingman with Houston, but he is more likely ticketed for Triple-A Sugar Land.
