BALLER MOVE: Target ~280
CURRENT ADP: 291
ANALYSIS: The Red Sox raised a lot of eyebrows when they signed Rick Porcello to a four-year, $82.5 million extension, and the doubters were vindicated last year when the right-hander had his worst season since 2010. His unsightly 4.92 ERA and 1.36 WHIP certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of fantasy owners, but Porcello did show signs of promise.
In 2015, Porcello maintained a BB/9 under 2.00 for the second straight year. His 7.80 K/9 and 20.2 K% were both career highs. Undermining his bloated 4.92 ERA, he posted a 4.13 FIP and a 3.72 xFIP. Still only 27, Porcello should bounce back to his production during 2013 and 2014, when his WHIP was below 1.30.
