Fantasy Analysis
The 35-year-old Eyre was placed on the DL on March 30. He made seven minor league rehab appearances with three of the Cubs' minor league affiliates and had a 6.75 ERA. Eyre did not allow a run over his final 19 outings last season, a span of 14 2-3 innings. He had a 2-1 record with a 4.13 ERA in 55 relief appearances last season. Eyre said his elbow felt fine and he was ready to pitch. "If there are limitations, I shouldn't be there," he said. Eyre is nothing more than a middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues, when healthy. Continue to ignore him in Fantasy. (Updated 05/09/2008).
