Lindstrom (and for that matter Lyon) are closers of last resort in most fantasy drafts. Draft whichever of them wins the job, but be prepared to cut bait when they invariably struggle in the role. 4-15-3.25-1.35-50 in 60 IP.

Positives / Upside	Lindstrom racked up 15 saves in 17 chances for the Marlins last season, despite struggling with elbow and shoulder problems. He'll vie for the closer's job with Brandon Lyon, and could be a sneaky source of saves if he wins the gig. 4-25-3.20-1.30-55 in 65 IP.
Negatives / Downside	Lindstrom doesn't have the kind of K-rate one typically sees in closers, and the fact that he surrendered a 5.89 ERA and 1.65 WHIP last season does not bode well for his ninth-inning potential. He may be more suited to a set-up role. 3-6-3.65-1.40-40 in 55 IP.
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	300
