his first to years it was over 9. it seems to have went down when his control got better. but i wouldnt be surprised to see it rise again this year


better control leads to more early count results. So instead of pitching for k's, you get them when necessary. There's a big difference and it shows up in his other stats between last year and previous years.

The 2nd half of last season he post an ERA around 2 witha K/9 above 9. Thats elite pitcher status.....why cant he do that the whol season?



bad strand rate last year and too many walks.

A little more luck this year and he could be an outright stud.

yeah I def. need him to step my starters are

Greinke
Weaver
Wandy
Norris (Ill end up trading him)
Lyles
Garcia
Strasburg


That goes along with 4 closers. I feel like I need one more dominant guy to complete my team


You could be that guy.....

Wandy


2 years ago he owned the Road, posting a little over 2 ERA and 9 or 10 wins

The astros problem is they are the worst team in their division with no bats even maybe worse then the Pirates, lol...

i keep waiting for Wandy to fold, i dont really see his stuff as being that good. But he has backed it up pretty well the last 2 years.

with that being said i wouldnt be surprised if he dips a little. his fastball just seems too hittable to me.

I'm torn on who to keep between Romero and Gio as my 8th keeper. I think both will be good this year.

They called him BMAC and he is affiliated with the A's. Seems to be a pitcher. Brandon McCarthy?

No it's Bernie Mac. He's still alive but don't tell anyone.

too small of a sample size watching both, but it's not easy finding two lefties with higher ceilings than those two.

Both have dominating breaking balls and plus fbs.
