Seattle Mariners: Hisashi Iwakuma is a top-20 starting pitcher on our Player Rater. My thinking: It's what I wrote in "Love/Hate." Had 16 starts last year with a 7.39 K/9 as a starter, with a 2.65 BB/9 and getting ground balls at a 50.9 percent clip. Only others to do that are David Price, Adam Wainwright and James Shields. He needs to get lucky with the wins to make this come true, but I do like him a lot.


quote:

Miami Marlins: Justin Ruggiano goes 20/20. My thinking: He got lucky some last year and isn't a great player. But he'll hit in the middle of the lineup, they have no one else and just by sheer number of at-bats, he could fall into these numbers if the luck continues.

I'm with you. Unless Halladay develops a knuckler, that dude is done.

When he did, he had no idea where it was going. He's done.

shite that won't happen because I own them in 1 or multiple leagues

quote:

Boston Red Sox: 200 strikeouts and a sub-3.85 ERA for Felix Doubront. My thinking: Dude had a K/9 over nine last year, is having a good spring and is just 24. Another year in the bigs to work more innings and get his stuff under control.


quote:

Tampa Bay Rays: Matt Joyce hits 30 home runs. My thinking: If I keep putting him in this column, maybe it'll eventually come true. Worked for Edwin Encarnacion last year. Joyce makes either his third or fourth straight appearance here. I have yet to be right on him. But here's a bonus bold prediction: This is the year I am right on a breakout for Matt Joyce


quote:

Toronto Blue Jays: Brandon Morrow finishes as a top-10 pitcher on the Player Rater. My thinking: Keeps improving every year, if he stays healthy the K's will be, as will the wins.


quote:

Seattle Mariners: Hisashi Iwakuma is a top-20 starting pitcher on our Player Rater. My thinking: It's what I wrote in "Love/Hate." Had 16 starts last year with a 7.39 K/9 as a starter, with a 2.65 BB/9 and getting ground balls at a 50.9 percent clip. Only others to do that are David Price, Adam Wainwright and James Shields.

quote:

Texas Rangers: 250 strikeouts and the AL Cy Young award for Yu Darvish. My thinking: Now adjusted to the MLB season and, more importantly, the MLB strike zone, he improves on last year's numbers, pitches more innings and is the guy we saw over his final seven starts (4-1, 2.13 ERA, 5.3 walk rate) for the whole year.


quote:

Milwaukee Brewers: Rickie Weeks finishes as a top-four second baseman on our ESPN Player Rater. My thinking: Has looked good this spring and had more than 670 plate appearances last year. Rebounded in the second half last year after a tough start in the first half.

waitwut

quote:

20 home runs for Evan Gattis. My thinking: If McCann can't get or stay healthy, Gattis can get hot with the bat and get the majority of the playing time. The pop is real, he just needs the at-bats. Plus, I've already talked about Kris Medlen for two straight years now, I should have at least one piece where I don't.


TROC added Evan Gattis, Atl C from Free Agency to Bench


quote:

Ervin Santana wins 14 games, has a 3.50 ERA and strikes out 185. My thinking: We discussed this on the podcast last week and I rostered Santana on my AL Tout Wars team; I'm a believer. Underlying numbers last year were the same as the previous two, just got unlucky with home run/fly ball rate (OK, really unlucky) and strand rate. He's got something to prove.


TROC dropped Jacob Turner, Mia SP to Waivers
TROC added Ervin Santana, KC SP from Free Agency to Bench
