Coming off knee surgery, Chad Qualls looks to return to the closer role in the desert. Qualls was having a very nice 2009 (24 saves, 3.63 ERA) before an untimely dislocated kneecap ended his season. The Diamondbacks should be better this season, which should lead to more save opportunities. He'll make a nice end of the draft closer if you've missed out on the more elite talent.

Positives / Upside	His biggest positive will be the fact that he gets save opportunities. Other than that he's a very pedestrian pitcher. He has a middle of the road ERA and WHIP and a lower strikeout rate than most closers.
Negatives / Downside	There's a chance that the knee surgery didn't quite take and his partially problematic ratios will be a full on concern.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	177
