Past Fantasy Outlooks
2005
2004
2003
Olsen at least seems physically recovered from the scary incident at Fenway in 2003, when a Todd Walker line drive cut short his season. He didn't get a shot at the majors in 2004 though, which is probably just as well considering how little he'd done with his previous chances. He's close to the point where he's going to get labeled a Triple-A lifer.
Olsen caught no breaks in 2003, but he did catch a Todd Walker line drive off the noggin -- resulting in a concussion and more than two months on the shelf. He'll look for a spot at the back of the Marlins bullpen this spring.
Olsen's 2002 numbers were about what you'd expect from a swingman in this day and age, and he's not quite talented enough to carve out a better role for himself with the Fish. He could do a bit better next year, but then again he could do a lot worse, so on a risk/reward basis alone he's fantasy chum.
