When Fredi Gonzalez was fired early in the 2016 season, Snitker became one of the oldest first-time managers in big league history. He’s now the fourth-oldest manager in the majors behind Tony La Russa of the Chicago White Sox, Houston’s Dusty Baker, and Joe Maddon of the Los Angeles Angels.
Dalton: James Karinchak hasn’t been officially named Cleveland’s closer, but this is the next star at the position. It should come as no surprise when he’s the consensus No. 1 reliever off the board in 2022 fantasy drafts. THE BAT projects him to record MLB’s best K rate (14.27) by a significant margin this season, and he owns a nice 1.40 FIP over the first 32.1 innings of his MLB career. Armed with an “80” fastball, Karinchak struck out a comical 186 batters over 102.1 innings in the minors, and his control is improving. With no slam dunk No. 1 closer out there right now, Karinchak is my favorite RP target this year.
