Another Saturday, another Category Impact article! Whether you’re sitting pool side, on your couch or at your cubicle at work, fantasy baseball success waits for no one. There is a new closer, well, two new closers out in Minnesota, while Arizona brought up their power hitting prospect. Jurickson Profar is somehow still owned in less than half of fantasy leagues (on ESPN at least). The fantasy season continues to progress and every move now has the potential to make or break your team. These guys can help you out not only in the short term, but perhaps for the rest of the season as well.

Here we go!

Brandon Kintzler, RP MIN— You can never have enough closers, right? Our very own Ray Flowers has said on multiple occasions that you never drop a closer. Not only is he right, but you also need to add a guy who is in line for saves. Kevin Jepsen’s recent struggles have prompted manager Paul Molitor to institute a closer-by-committee approach, featuring Kintzler and Fernando Abad. It was Kintzler who got the first save opportunity after Jepsen’s removal, which prompts me to believe that the right-hander has at least a slight edge over Abad, a southpaw, for saves in Minnesota. For the season, Kintzler sports a 2.30 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and a 11:1 K/BB ratio in 15.2 innings of work. Sure, that 6.32 K/9 isn’t what you’d hope for from your closer, but the fact of the matter is that Kintzler excels at forcing weak contact. His 27.7 percent mark on the season is over eight points higher than league average. The right-hander continues to get batters to chase pitches out of the zone, which is a big reason why he induces weak contact over a quarter of the time. I won’t lie to you, the Twins aren’t good, so saves are going to be few and far between, but Kintzler is still worthy of a roster spot.

Peter O’Brien, OF ARI— He may be 0-for-5 with four strikeouts this season, and have nine strikeouts in 15 career at-bats, but there is a lot to like about the young, powerful former catcher turned outfielder. Last season, in a brief stint with the big league club, he went 4-for-10 with one homer and three RBI in eight games. Before being called up to the show, O’Brien was slashing .330/.356/.670 with 17 home runs, 52 RBI and 13 doubles in 51 games. The strikeouts were an issue (61 in 212 at-bats), but throughout his minor league career, he was able to maintain a fairly high batting average, despite the strikeout problems. Arizona personnel have said that he is up to play very regularly, so he makes for an intriguing add. He has raw power that compares to Giancarlo Stanton, although saying that now probably makes you cringe, given Stanton’s problems this season. However, O’Brien’s power is legitimate and if you need help in the outfield or with home runs, O’Brien is worthy of a speculative add.

Jurickson Profar, 2B TEX— For some crazy reason, Profar is still owned in under half of ESPN fantasy leagues. Don’t ask me how, and don’t ask me why, because that is preposterous. Since being called up to the big leagues, all the guy has done has hit. He’s done so much that he’s going to stick to the team and they are going to find a way to keep him in the lineup on an everyday basis. He’s logged at least one game at first, second, third and even served as a designated hitter twice. In 14 games this season, the 23-year-old is slashing .397/.407/.603 with two homers, four RBI and 13 runs scored. Sure, that batting average is inflated by a .438 BABIP, but he can still be a quality big league hitter. He’s not walking much, which is a bit concerning, seeing as it’s going to be tough to maintain a quality on-base percentage at the top of the lineup if you’re OBP is tied almost exclusively to hits. Profar’s career walk rate at the minor league level was 7.2 percent, so with time, he’ll start walking more. At the very least, he can be a quality source of runs, especially since Ian Desmond and Nomar Mazara are enjoying productive 2016 campaigns.
