Orioles | Albers, Mickolio lead right-handed candidates

The Baltimore Sun reports Baltimore Orioles RPs David Hernandez and Jason Berken will compete with Kam Mickolio, Cla Meredith, Matt Albers and Dennis Sarfate for two right-handed openings in the bullpen. Albers, who is out of options, and Mickolio are the leading candidates. Another spot might open for a righty if SP Koji Uehara isn’t ready for Opening Day.

Our Instinct:  Kam Mickolio is high on some lists, but he reminds me a lot of Merkin Valdez.  He’s a 1 pitch pony (80% FBs, 15% SLDs, and 5% CHGs).  There isn’t much to get excited about, but then when we talk about middle relievers in fantasy baseball – there usually isn’t.
