RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

There was no outlook written for Jose Valdez.

2010

Signed out of the Yankees' farm system, Valdez has upside again in the absence of an established bullpen in Houston. His strikeout rate is good, and he could be a more than adequate middle man for the Astros this season. Look for him to be among the cast competing for a spot in bullpen during spring training.
