| Fantasy Analysis |
| Ortiz had a nice 3.18 ERA over seven outings this spring, holding opponents to two earned runs or fewer in his final three appearances. Unfortunately, the Astros are looking pretty mediocre this year and Ortiz should only be considered a flier in deeper NL-only leagues. Capellan is an ex-prospect who has had little success in the majors, but could find his way to Houston at some point in 2009. He's nothing more than an NL-only flier too, though, based on his history. (Updated 04/05/2009). |
