Though he had a rough outing Sunday, Frieri was an excellent pitcher in the final month of the season, and should be a desirable closer option in fantasy leagues in 2014.","date":"Sun Sep 29"},"fullName":"Ernesto Frieri","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"One of 2012's most successful -- and under-the-radar -- in-season trade acquisitions, Frieri cost the Angels Alexi Amarista and Donn Roach in a May trade, but his output come year's end placed him at No. 11 among pure relief pitchers on our Player Rater. Always valuable to the Padres in middle relief, Frieri rode a 2.32 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 56 appearances for his new team into a share of the closer role, in which he saved 23 games to put himself in the conversation for the 2013 gig. Walks, however, have limited him, as he has a 4.54 BB/9 ratio for his career, and the Angels signed veteran Ryan Madson presumably to close when healthy. Draft Frieri assuming he'll be more helpful in an ERA/K's/holds capacity out of a setup role, but there's at least a chance that Madson might require an early-season DL stint, opening up an opportunity for Frieri to establish himself as \"the guy.\"","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":5.4,"playerRater15DAY":2.6,"positionRank":23}
