BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in Late Rounds / Immediate Waiver Wire Add
ANALYSIS: With the recent news that Koji Uehara is still nursing an injury, Edward Mujica will start the year as the fill-in closer for the Red Sox. He may wind up being in that role longer than some would expect, if Uehara can't get over his injury quickly. Let's not forget that Mujica filled in for an injured Uehara last year at the end of the season.
The Rex Sox have a strong lineup, and are expected to win a lot of game this year. If Mujica can convert his save opportunities (he nailed down six last year), he has the ability to return sneaky big value in the later rounds of your fantasy drafts, or off the waiver wire. He should be able to rack up saves as long as Uehara is out, and cheap saves are always a great way to dominate your leagues.
Currently he is being drafted as the 59th overall relief pitcher on average, so you should be able to get a great return on your draft investment. If your league already drafted, go grab Mujica off the waiver wire if he's still available.
