Another pitching prospect acquired in the Dan
Haren trade. The 24-year-old lefty has pitched three
solid games in 2008 and is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA and
13 K's in 18 innings.
Jair Jurrjens - Braves
The 22-year-old is 3-2 with a 3.05 ERA and 24 strikeouts
in 38 innings. He is very young and is likely a year or
so away from really being a star, but so far so good.
Matt Garza
- Rays
The 2006 USA Today Minor League Player of the Year was
only 4-6 but had a 3.42 ERA & had 95 K's in 92 innings in
AAA. Was acquired from the Twins for Delmon Young after
going 5-7 with a 3.69 ERA and 67 K's in 83 innings.
Hong-Chih Kuo
- Dodgers
The 26-year-old from Japan is has having quite a season
in the Dodger bullpen thus far going 3-1 with a 2.40 ERA
and 38 strikeouts in 30 innings. He is a rare but valuable
fantasy long -reliever. He will get occasional wins and
strikeouts plus help your ERA and WHIP. In addition, he
may get some starts or even become the 5th starter.
