4 years agoHouston Astros pitcher Joe Smith has a chance to be a sneaky-good option for holds and the odd save this coming fantasy season. The veteran right-hander had a respectable spring by allowing two runs in 4.2 innings with a K-BB of 5-1. The 37-year-old might be a bit of a forgotten arm after he sat out 2020 to be with his sick mother, who passed away last August. However, Smith has 210 career holds and finished the 2019 season with a 1.80 ERA in 28 games for the Astros. Behind closer Ryan Pressly, Houston's bullpen has limited veteran experience, especially with Pedro Baez on the injured list. And with an unproven starting staff, the bullpen could be called on often to help preserve a lead.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
