Fantasy Baseball: The Passion of The Chad Cordero

filed under Fantasy : Baseball

Most fantasy owners lucky enough to have Washington Nationals pitcher Chad Cordero on their team this year have got to be unbelievably giddy about their luck. Who would’ve thought the the roly-poly, crooked-hatted reliever for what is, essentially, an expansion team would have 26 saves so far this season and show no signs of stopping? ESPN’s fantasy razorback Tristan Cockroft spends his Out of the Box column praisinng all things Cordero, showcasing the fact that the Nationals little puggly-wuggly closer is on his way to an Eric Gagne-like season. ESPN currently has Cordero ranked as the number one closer—as he should be treated as such in your leagues where he’s possible trade bait. Don’t settle for anything less than premium power offensive numbers, stud starters, or a date with Jessica Biel if you’re going to give up Cordero.
