Craig Kimbrel

Kimbrel waited to sign until months into the season, and the results weren't pretty. He battled injury and was entirely ineffective, pitching to an 8.10 ERA and walking more than five batters per nine innings. Whether the complete lack of control was a continuing trend or just due to rust/injuries. But, either way, the price on Kimbrel should be the cheapest in years, and if you're waiting on saves, he's as good an option to take a chance on as anyone.

Craig Kimbrel gets lit up on Sunday

Craig Kimbrel allowed two runs on three hits while striking out two across 2/3 of an inning in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

Kimbrell has looked horrible so far this spring, owning a 16.20 ERA across one 2/3 innings. He should be locked in as the Cubs closer, but the 31-year old will need to improve his 6.53 ERA from last season in order to become a top-10 closer in fantasy once again. Kimbrell will look to turn things around in his next couple of outings before spring training ends.
