Wuertz got four saves last season but there's very little talk that he is in line to close except as an emergency ninth inning guy. It's not that the 31-year old guy couldn't do it, we bet he'd be good. But the A's organization has had opportunities to do this in the past and hasn't done it. Ergo, more of the same. Which isn't bad. Wuertz will only win a couple fewer games than one of the low-K starters like Zach Duke or even Jon Garland and if he strikes out 102 again, he may surpass their K totals. Fine pitcher and great in a set-up role. 6-5-2.75-1.25-90. 75IP.

Positives / Upside	Low end start K totals from a middle reliever plus some bonus saves and vulture wins. 7-5-2.63-1.00-105. 85IP
Negatives / Downside	Wuertz' best WHIP season prior to last season 0.95 was 1.25. Regressions should be expected. 3-2-3.66-1.25-80. 65IP
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	448
