The 32-year-old has faded badly down the stretch, with a 7.85 ERA and 1.85 WHIP dating back to Aug. 11. He'll look to improve his 4.45 ERA and 1.41 WHIP -- both career highs -- in a friendly home matchup against the Angels on Friday.","date":"Sun Sep 18"},"fullName":"Doug Fister","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The margin for error is shrinking for Fister after his walk and groundball rates regressed in 2015, a season derailed early by a forearm injury. While his walk rate was still above average at 5.4 percent, his groundball rate fell to around the league average, and without the elite control and and a groundball rate close to 50 percent, Fister was a shell of the pitcher that won 16 games with a 2.41 ERA just a year prior. He has never been a big fantasy darling given his inability to miss bats at even an average clip, and he's now back to the American League after signing with Houston, but Fister appears to have the inside track at a rotation spot to begin spring training. Mike Fiers looms as a potential threat to Fister's role, so it may be wise to look at Fister more as a worthwhile AL-only option than a must-target in standard mixed leagues.","seasonId":2016,"date":"Mon Mar 7"},"playerRater30DAY":-7.3,"playerRater15DAY":-3.6,"positionRank":89}
