Bronson Arroyo, SP CIN
News: The Red Sox have a surplus of starting pitchers and Bronson Arroyo, who figured to start the season in Boston's bullpen, could be the No. 2 man in Cincinnati's rotation. "That's the only benefit in my mind right now," Arroyo said. "It still doesn't make it any less disappointing to leave."
Analysis: Arroyo had career highs last year with 14 victories, 32 starts and 205 1/3 innings pitched. He is now assured of opening the season in the rotation, unlike in Boston -- albeit another hitter's park and a team that is much less of a contender in Cincy. Arroyo becomes immediately important in NL-only leagues and should have some value as a back end in a mixed-league Fantasy rotation. The Reds can score some runs for Arroyo, if he can manage to keep the ball down in that ballpark.
