Wagner's health is a concern, but he looked fine in his brief stint in the majors last season. He'll be the Braves closer on Opening Day barring injury, and that makes him worth a mid-to-late round pick after the first few tiers of closers are off the board. 4-30-3.10-1.20-65 in 55 IP.

Positives / Upside	Wagner returned from Tommy John surgery to give the Mets and Red Sox some quality relief innings last season, and he should continue his good work as the Braves closer in 2010. The Braves generated 59 save opportunities in 2009, and Wagner should receive the bulk of those chances in 2010. 5-35-3.00-1.15-70 in 65 IP
Negatives / Downside	Call us paranoid, but 38-year-old relievers coming off major surgery are not exactly the most reliable fantasy options. Wags can still bring it when he's out there, but it's staying out there that has us worried. 2-20-3.35-1.25-45 in 35 IP
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	300
