Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact

Steve Delabar struggled during the Spring, which led to him starting the season with Triple-A Buffalo. The main concern with Delabar was the ineffectiveness of his splitter. If he continues to pitch well for the Jays, and Cecil begins to falter, he could be a candidate to close games. For now, he will be a middle relief option.
