I totally agree - I think RJ is going to be a huge value, both in real and fantasy baseball. The one thing I'll add is that pitching in Arizona appeared to exacerbate his tendency to give up homers. Check out his home/road splits from his time with the D-Backs: Home: 4.47 ERA, 1.53 homers per nine Road: 3.17 ERA, 0.69 homers per nine If he plays in a park that is more forgiving to homers next year, he could be even MORE valuable.
