Nunez should be one of the last closers off the board, and for good reason. His job is not terribly secure, and his effectiveness diminished as the hitters caught up to him last season. He'll save some games, but it would surprising to see him hold the job all season long. 3-22-3.75-1.28-60 in 70 IP

Positives / Upside	Nunez successfully made the jump from set-up man to closer last season, logging 26 saves in 33 opportunities. He enters Spring Training as the Marlins' closer, with no clear No. 2 man in camp. Nunez makes for a great source of cheap saves late in your draft. 4-32-3.25-1.15-65 in 75 IP
Negatives / Downside	The reason Nunez is so cheap is his inflated 4.06 ERA -- including an abysmal 6.10 during September (AKA Fantasy playoff time). He seemed to grow less comfortable as the season went along, and a bumpy start could result in a quick hook from the closer's job. 2-18-4.30-1.30-55 in 70 IP
