Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2010
Valdez has an outstanding arm and can touch the high-90s with his fastball. He was 4-5 with five saves and a 3.32 ERA in 42 appearances with Triple-A Toledo in 2015. Valdez was called up in late July, but was flat-out torched by the Orioles and was returned to the minors almost immediately. But his return in September held more promise. Valdez allowed seven hits, two runs and a 4:3 K/BB rate in 9.0 innings once rosters expanded and that was enough to put him in the hunt for a bulpen spot for 2016.
Signed out of the Yankees' farm system, Valdez has upside again in the absence of an established bullpen in Houston. His strikeout rate is good, and he could be a more than adequate middle man for the Astros this season. Look for him to be among the cast competing for a spot in bullpen during spring training.
