“underlying skills are there, but may be tough to accumulate wins”

 

“Fluke alert. Stay away as he seemed more hittable than he led fantasy owners to believe. The Cubs will not get him many wins and despite the nice 180 Ks, and potential 3.81 ERA that can only go higher. I would pass with confidence.”

“Garza has been solid when pitching for the Cubbies, but coming into the season not 100% is never a good thing. Especially when you already play for the Cubs and you have to figure wins are going to be very tough to come by. We all know he can get 200Ks, but draft him like 170 is in his future with a good ERA and bad win total.”

 

“Was shut down late last season”
