Dany Jimenez could be favorite for saves for A'sFebruary 02, 2023 | 03:50 PM

Melissa Lockard of The Athletic believes that Dany Jimenez could be the favorite for saves in the Athletics' bullpen to start the season. Analysis: The 29-year-old hurler did a nice job in that role for the Athletics during the 2022 season, registering a 3.41 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 34/18 K/BB ratio over 34 1/3 innings while picking up 11 saves in 14 chances before being shut down with a shoulder strain in late August. Fantasy managers are viewing the race a bit differently, with Trevor May as the clear favorite according to average draft position (just outside the top-300 overall) while Jimenez checks in outside the top-600 players overall.
