Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
Ricky Nolasco knows that he's on your fantasy team. That's how he approaches his job. Regardless of the situation this guy just does not like to walk hitters. For the third straight season, Nolasco's strikeout to walk rate was over 4.4. That is more than twice as many strikeouts per walk than the league average of 2.17. Every season he's actually gotten better than his peers - in 2008 he had the 7th best K:BB rate, in 2009 he had the 5th best K:BB rate, and in an injury shortened season last year he had the third best K:BB rate. Nolasco even had a stretch from late June to early July in which he struck out 28 and walked 2.
If there's a poster boy over the last two seasons for why sabremetrics do not work, it's Nolasco. His 5.06 ERA and 3.35 FIP in 2009 had fantasy analysts like Charlie Saponora screaming fluke, but Nolasco's ERA was only lowered to 4.51 last season. His FIP was again lower at 3.86. He may be great at controlling the zone and not allowing walks, but as a consequence Nolasco has always served up his share of fat pitches. Last year he allowed more home runs per 9 innings than he ever has, and he also had his worst WHIP in three seasons.
Projection: Nolasco could be considered a post-hype guy after not delivering on last year's expectations to bounce back in dominant form. He's still just 28 years old and should be ready to go after knee surgery.
15 wins 3.65 ERA 1.26 WHIP 189 K in 205 innings
