JeurysFamilia

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Little went right for Familia last season as the once-dominant closer posted the worst season of his career. His 23% strikeout rate was lower than usual but his bloated 15.3% walk rate and a high .346 BABIP resulted in an excess of base runners and, hence, runs. Even his pristine HR rate swelled to 1.05 HR/9 -- still low but more than double his career 0.50 mark. Familia's velocity dropped a tick to 96 mph, but it was the complete loss of command and control doing the damage. Even with the increased benefit of a dominant middle reliver in today's fantasy landscape, there are better options out there than relying on the hope that Familia regains some effectiveness.
