ANALYSIS: The ace that Toronto thought it would have all season is back. Marcus Stroman is finally ready to come back from the torn ACL that he suffered in Spring Training and he is firing on all cylinders.
His throwing sessions and rehab starts have all looked unbelievable and Toronto believes he is ready to come back to the starting rotation just in time for the stretch run. For fantasy owners who have been holding him or looking for a late season spark plug, Stroman is definitely the answer.
His career ERA of 3.65 and FIP of 2.84 should make owners rush to get him now based on his work as of late and his determination to get back and help his team. The .48 HR/9 suggests that his control is going to be impeccable and loss of command or control should not be a worry. Owners will be wondering which of his pitches he is going to rely on early. His 5 pitch deception should keep even the best and most disciplined hitters off balance.
The .249 BAA and 1.17 WHIP should be expected as well as long as his confidence doesn't wane with a misstep on the mound or in the clubhouse. Stroman is good to go and you should grab him for this season and perhaps a keeper slot for 2016.
