Darvish hasn't been quite the elite strikeout artist post-March 2015 Tommy John surgery that he was before it, but his performance in two seasons since has been excellent nevertheless: 3.70 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 28.8 percent strikeout rate in 48 starts, and a top-100 Player Rater (and fantasy point) total finish in 2017. Landing in Chicago provides him a small bump in terms of strikeout rate, locking him into 200-plus whiffs if he stays as healthy as he did in 2017, and the Cubs' defense should also help him from an ERA perspective. Darvish has a chance at a top-10 season, but even if he falls just shy of that you'll probably be happy with his output.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Tue Feb 20"},"positionRank":142}
