Fantasy Impact: The Mets New Bullpen

SO now the vaunted Mets bullpen has its anchors. JJ Putz and Francisco Rodriguez will now rescue and save the Mets team. his is great news for all Mets fans, but from a fantasy perspective its just as important. With the Mets now have a worthy bullpen for closing out games automatically increases there value across the board. Consider this. If Johan Santana had a good bullpen last season, he'd had 23 wins. From a fantasy perspective that is tremendous. Obviously that will impact the other 4 starters on the team as well. This also adds two new draft day closers into the mix, Jose Arredondo and Brandon Morrow. Now, we still have to see that happen at the start of the season, but right now in December we think those are to the two closers for those teams. The Angels are pursuing Brian Fuentes who was born in California. If they get him, he could very well close, but we will say this now. Jose Arredondo will be he Angels closer by season end.

So the overall fantasy impact of the Mets new bullpen is the value of Johan Santana increases, and so will the value of the other 4 starters. Also, two more closers are created because of the moves. Overall the signing and the trade were great for fantasy baseball.
