Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Brandon Lyon has filed for free agency. He’s unlikely to return to the D-Backs, after struggling as the team’s closer to begin the season. Lyon is better suited for set-up work, but his strikeout rate swelled to a career-high 6.67 K/9IP in 2008 and in most circumstances, he should be able to reprise his role as a viable seventh- or eighth-inning option in 2009. Just don’t expect the opportunity for him to close regularly to be there.
