Craig Kimbrel, the closer who blew only three saves for the Braves during what was arguably the most dominant season ever for a reliever, blew one with national pride on the line Thurday. But from a Fantasy perspective, it doesn't mean much. The most unfortunate part about it was the stage.
Those who care about the World Baseball Classic -- and no doubt, a contingent of Fantasy-playing types do -- had their hearts broken by it when, if it happened in Grapefruit League play, they wouldn't have even noticed. It really shouldn't change your opinion of Kimbrel on draft day.
Of course, seeing how early you'd have to take him relative to other closers, you're better off letting someone else form an opinion on him.
