Matt Thorton Value

MLB Features:

"This may finally be the year in which the White Sox' best reliever gets the most saves. Matt Thornton has been a monster the last two years, posting a 2.71 ERA, 10.6 K/9 and a baserunner an inning, while picking up just five saves. Bobby Jenks is always a health risk because of the weight he carries, and specifically this spring because of a calf problem carried forward from 2009. J.J. Putz won't be in the mix for three months or so. This isn't exactly earth-shattering information, but because Thornton hasn't saved games, you might be able to get him cheaply depending on your league. I went to $7 for him in an 18-team mixed league with an inflation problem, and I expect him to return a lot more than that."
