He allowed one run on two hits, walking one and striking out two in the White Sox 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.","spin":"Despite this precarious outing, he still has a 1.64 ERA and is 8-for-8 in save opportunities this season. Reed has outstanding stuff, and while he could still stumble a bit at times, his upside suggests he could become a top tier major league closer if he continues to progress.","date":"Fri Apr 26"},"fullName":"Addison Reed","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Reed endured a rocky rookie campaign; his 4.75 ERA last season was the second worst among relievers with at least 30 save chances. But don't let that obscure the one big plus: He captured the White Sox's closer role as a 23-year-old and stands to remain in it as long as he's effective. Remember, every pitcher endures adjustments, and Reed's is somewhat obvious: He's too fine with his pitches, leaving a whopping 59 percent of his total offerings in the strike zone, the highest rate among qualified relievers in 2012. He'll need to be more deceptive in his second full season in order to take the next step, but we need to remember that he averaged 12.88 strikeouts per nine innings and 7.76 K's per walk during his minor league career, meaning not only should he be capable, his ceiling might be that of a top-five closer once he is. Reed shouldn't yet be treated like a top-10 fantasy closer (except in dynasty leagues), and perhaps he's worth backing up with a reliable save-getter, but he's also not far off from reaching that stature himself.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.9,"playerRater15DAY":2.3,"positionRank":8}
