Past Fantasy Outlooks

2007
Kobayashi's disappearing act in the second half was quite unwelcome to those who took the draft-day plunge as the right-hander tossed just six innings in the final two months of the season. He was pretty effective in the first half (44.1 innings, 3.05 ERA and five saves), but will need to work on his durability if he's going to be a serious threat to pick up saves in the Cleveland bullpen should anything happen to new closer Kerry Wood.
