So Jake Odorizzi is the fifth starter. And who knows? Baseball is full of injuries and ineffectiveness -- Odo might get 28+ starts this year. I know I certainly didn't pencil Archer in for 23 starts last year. The projection systems aren't exactly sold on Odorizzi:
| Season | Team | G | GS | IP | K/9 | BB/9 | HR/9 | BABIP | ERA | FIP | WAR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | Royals | 2 | 2 | 7.1 | 4.91 | 4.91 | 1.23 | 0.280 | 4.91 | 5.41 | 0.0 |
| 2013 | Rays | 7 | 4 | 29.2 | 6.67 | 2.43 | 0.91 | 0.287 | 3.94 | 3.89 | 0.3 |
| 2014 | Steamer | 17 | 17 | 96.0 | 7.03 | 3.46 | 1.25 | 0.281 | 4.30 | 4.52 | 0.5 |
| 2014 | Oliver | 27 | 25 | 146.0 | 7.20 | 3.20 | 1.29 | 0.287 | 4.06 | 4.44 | 0.7 |
| 2014 | ZiPS | 27 | 25 | 136.0 | 6.62 | 4.10 | 1.13 | 0.294 | 4.57 | 4.77 | 0.2 |
| Total | - - - | 9 | 6 | 37.0 | 6.32 | 2.92 | 0.97 | 0.286 | 4.14 | 4.19 | 0.3 |
But I myself peg him for a decent chance at a 3.80 ERA if things go well. Be you never know.
We FINALLY get a Sun Sports broadcast today.
