Derek Holland Wants To Stay In National League
6 years agoFree-agent starting pitcher Derek Holland's preference is to re-sign with the San Francisco Giants or at least stay in the National League. The 32-year-old southpaw had a bounce-back year with San Fran in 2018, going 7-9 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 169 K's in 171 1/3 innings across 36 outings (30 starts). The year before with the White Sox he had an atrocious 6.20 ERA and was written off. He also struck out a career-high 8.9 hitters per nine innings last year, and his best fit would be to stay in pitcher-friendly San Francisco. There's no bet that he'll be as good again in 2019, though, so Holland is more of a matchup play in deep mixed leagues and DFS formats.
