BALLER MOVE: Target ~290
CURRENT ADP: 309
ANALYSIS: Never a highly-touted MLB prospect, Jerad Eickhoff was viewed as something of a throw-in in the blockbuster Cole Hamels trade. However, if his performance down the stretch is any indication, the Phillies might have uncovered a diamond in the rough.
Fueled by a filthy slider, Eickhoff posted excellent ratios (2.65 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 8.65 K/9, 3.77 K/BB) in his first eight MLB starts. However, his hard-hit rate was among the worst in baseball, and his flyball tendencies won’t play well in Citizens Bank Park. Still, he is flying way under the radar right now. Eickhoff is locking in around the low 90s for RotoBaller's staff pitcher rankings, and he is going undrafted in the majority of standard fantasy baseball leagues.
