The Astros outrighted Sadler (shoulder dyskinesis) to the minor leagues on Friday, thereby removing him from the 40-man roster, according to the team's official site. Sadler has a right to refuse the assignment and become a free agent.

ANALYSIS
Astros GM Ed Wade described the move as "housecleaning", which is not a good sign for your long-term value to the team if you're Sadler. He will attempt to get healthy in time for the spring in order to take a shot at making the team coming out of spring training.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2009

2008

2007

Sadler finished last year with a 4.06 ERA and a 42:27 K:BB ratio over 44.1 innings out of the Giants’ bullpen. He allows too many baserunners, so expect a climb in ERA in 2009. With new acquisitions in San Francisco’s pen, Sadler may head back to the minors this year.

Sadler followed up an impressive 2006 campaign with a horrible 2007 season, finishing with a 5.95 ERA and 1.677 WHIP over 42.1 innings at Triple-A Fresno. The 59 strikeouts were nice, but the 35 walks were a big problem. Sadler has always had the stuff to succeed, but shaky command has prevented him from being consistently successful. A change of scenery will likely be needed for him to have any chance to blossom.

Sadler isn't viewed as a top prospect, but he did manage a 2.43 ERA with a 79:31 K:BB in 55.2 IP last year between Double- and Triple-A. He should figure into San Francisco's bullpen plans this year.
