BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: At the start of the fantasy baseball season, owners are always searching for the forgotten guys in the free agent pool. One guy that seems to have been passed over in most drafts is Angels starter C.J. Wilson. Entering his 10th season in the league, Wilson is a veteran and knows how to get people out. He does not excite most owners because he his strikeout numbers can be dull and he always has the possibility of imploding in a given start.
Wilson’s season got off to a great start on Tuesday when he shut out the newly improved Mariners over 8 innings. It took him just 96 pitches to cruise to the 8th while allowing just 2 hits and one walk, but only striking out two. Wilson’s numbers will not amaze anyone, but he can still be a very solid fantasy pitcher to add to your rotation in 2015. His career ERA of 3.70 and K/9 of 7.9 are above average especially when you consider he has pitched his entire career in the American League. Look for C.J. Wilson to be a valuable fantasy starter for this season, and a solid waiver wire pickup -- he may not be available in deep leagues for too much longer, especially if he has another good start his next time out.
