Jose Valverde takes over the closer job for the Tigers this season after Fernando Rodney left via free agency. Look for Valverde to rack up a good number of saves for the Tigers. He should be able to post above average ratios, while striking out around a batter per inning. 3-35-2.90-1.15-65 in 60 IP

Positives / Upside	Job security. The Tigers made the move to get Valverde because their bullpen is pretty dreadful. Valverde should be in line for 35-45 save chances while helping your ratios and strikeout numbers. 3-40-2.50-1.10-70 in 65 IP
Negatives / Downside	Playing on the Tigers. Because of their brutal bullpen Valverde could see fewer save opportunities than he's accustom to. Detroit's leads may not make it to him in the 9th inning. 3-30-3.10-1.20-65 in 55 IP
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	118
