Don’t draft these 5 Mariners players in fantasy baseball

Mariners players to avoid in fantasy baseball – #4 Nick Margevicius

As good as Nick Margevicius’ Spring Training numbers look, I am a little sad to say that he isn’t valuable in fantasy baseball. Currently, the Mariners southpaw owns a 2.00 ERA in nine innings and has struck out 10 batters. He has allowed a hit an inning and only walked one batter.

Although he has been lights out in Arizona, I am heavily leaning towards Justin Dunn to lock in the sixth spot in the rotation. That means Nick Margevicius gets moved to the bullpen or is optioned to Triple-A.

And when you are a reliever (and not a closer), your fantasy baseball value is nearly zero. Unless Nick somehow becomes the next lights-out All-Star setup man, he is not someone to consider. But you never know. If Nick can post stats like the pre-closer Josh Hader, Andrew Miller, etc., then you might want to consider adding Nick to your team.

But in general, Nick doesn’t provide a lot of value in the current moment. So, you should definitely not draft him and there is a minuscule chance you might want to add him during the season.

I will say, I am impressed with how he has pitched this Spring Training and it is crazy to think how young Nick is. Honestly, the Mariners are lucky to have him. With the next wave of Mariners pitching prospects coming soon, Nick is a little unlucky in terms of timing but he could become a valuable long reliever in a couple of years.

Now, onto the last player.
