Shaun Marcum Player Projection No. 137

Found November 24, 2011 on Fantasy Baseball 365: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Shaun Marcum,  Max Scherzer,  Brandon Beachy,  Adam Wainwright,  Magglio Ordonez,  Victor Martinez,  Prince Fielder
TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers,  Detroit Tigers,  Atlanta Braves,  St. Louis Cardinals

Key Stats: Since missing the 2009 season with Tommy John surgery Shaun Marcum has been ranked in the top 125 in the Yahoo player rater two years in a row. The greatest strength of Marcum statistically is his WHIP. Going back to the season before he had Tommy John surgery, Marcum has finished with a 1.16, 1.15, and 1.16 WHIP each of the last three seasons. Skeptics Say: Marcum had one quality start in his last seven starts including the playoffs. In fact, he was probably the main reason that the Brewers did not advance to the World Series. In those starts he gave up 34 earned runs in 34 innings. It leaves a very bad taste in your mouth heading into this season.Also, the WHIP was nice last year, but given how the power in baseball has shifted to pitchers in recent years, it wasn't that great. Marcum's WHIP was tied with two others for 22nd in all of baseball. Hardly elite. Peer Comparison: There's a huge gap between the CBS starting pitcher rankings and the ESPN starti...

Braun's MVP award may have been deserved, but the argument behind the voting failed (Lacques/ USA Today) Ryan Braun was a solid choice for NL MVP.

Via Red Hot Mama  |  November 25, 2011
