A View of the Diamond

FantasyFanatics.com Lead Expert Rob Shaw takes you for a spin around the NFL in this week's edition of A View of the Diamond. We'll get you started in the Bronx. It may be hard to argue that a New York Yankee is flying under the radar, but I am not sure that people understand how good Chien-Ming Wang actually is. The Yankees ace has won 51 of his first 69 career decisions. Thanks to pin-point control and an uncanny ability to escape jams, his career ERA is just 3.75. Just 27 years old, Wang appears to be in his prime, and his 5-0 start is not an illusion. Best of all, it's no longer just wins and ERA either. After fanning just 76 in 2006, Wang struck out 104 last season. Wang appears poised for another solid increase in strikouts, as he has struck out 27 through his first 6 starts this season. On Sunday, Wang outdueled C.C. Sabathia, hurling 7 shutout innings with 9 K's and 4 hits allowed. Expect Wang to break the 20-win plateau this season.
