2012
Lopez followed up a nice 2010 season with another solid year. He is a workhorse, averaging over 70 appearances in the past two seasons. Lopez doesn't strike out a ton of batters, but he limits the walks and doesn't really cough up the long ball, making him rather effective in relief. Unfortunately, though, this translates to minimal fantasy value, as he is still behind Brandon Lyon in the pecking order for saves with Mark Melancon honing his craft for the Red Sox.
2011
Lopez's success in the bullpen in 2010 surprised many. Among his impressive stats was this one: he stranded 32 of 33 inherited runners -- the highest percentage among major league relievers at 97 percent. Much of that success can be attributed to his ability to limit the walks, as he allowed just five in 67 innings. He gets his fastball up into the low 90s - not traditional closer stuff, but not all that different from fellow late-inning man Brandon Lyon. As Lopez moves into his second season, he figures to play a more prominent role in the Astros' bullpen, and he could even sneak in a few situational saves.
2010
Lopez moved into the Double-A rotation in June and didn't embarrass himself too much. He's not really a prospect, more accurately described as the sort of organizational depth that comes in handy when you don't have good alternatives to start the back half of a doubleheader. If injuries or a trade opens a spot in the Houston rotation, he figures to at least get a look. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, so his fantasy value will be limited no matter what his role is.
2009
Originally signed by the Yankees, Lopez left professional ball in 2004 and went home to Nicaragua where he was scouted and signed a couple of years later by the Padres, returning to the States for the 2007 season. Lopez will not dazzle you with his stuff, but he throws strikes and keeps the ball in the yard, two characteristics useful for a bullpen arm. Lopez split last season between High-A Lake Elsinore and Double-A San Antonio before pitching an inning at Triple-A Portland at the end of the season. Lopez will not be in the mix for late-inning pressure situations, but could carve out a niche as a set-up man.
