Sam Dyson (TEX, RP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Shawn Tolleson saga is finally over for now. He went out in grand fashion as Khris Davis crushed a grand slam to effectively end Tolleson's reign as the Rangers' closer. Sam Dyson has racked up two saves since taking over the ninth inning duties. One was a little messy as he allowed a run, but the other outing was very clean. Make no mistake, Dyson will not be a dominant or automatic closer. Nonetheless he's an upgrade over Tolleson, not that that says much, and he deserves to be owned in all leagues. Saves are scarce and adding a closer on a team with good offense means there will be a good amount of late inning leads. Dyson profiles a bit like a harder throwing version of Brad Ziegler. He won't strike out a lot of batters, but he can get the job done.
