Nick Piecoro, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Diamondbacks RP Chad Qualls has been throwing more splitters this spring. “Since I have a hard slider and a hard sinker, I wanted something like a changeup that was a little bit slower and can throw their timing off,” Qualls said.
Our Instinct: Qualls should post about 70 k’s in 70 ip, while having about a 3.00 era , a 1.20 whip, and save about 35 games. He should be worth about $15 in auction leagues. If the splitters are effective, he could be a nice surprise in most formats.
