Ryan Watson Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels right-handed rookie reliever Ryan Watson could be emerging as an option for saves for the Angels after picking up his first save with the team in Saturday's win over the division-rival Texas Rangers. The Angels turned to Watson on Saturday after Ben Joyce blew a save on Friday night, and the 28-year-old struck out a batter in a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save, only the second in his first year in the big leagues. Watson began the year with the Boston Red Sox, where he posted a 4.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, one save, 43 strikeouts, and 19 walks in 55 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. He has yet to allow a run in 5 1/3 innings pitched with eight strikeouts and one walk in his six relief appearances for the Halos. Watson could become more interesting in the deepest of fantasy leagues if Joyce struggles some more, but for now, fantasy managers in standard-sized leagues can ignore the rookie reliever on one of the worst teams in baseball. He is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.
