Thorpe Trounced by Royals in Rough Outing
by Jesse Garcia | White Sox Correspondent | Wed, Jul 31st 10:04pm EDT
Drew Thorpe endured a challenging game, surrendering six earned runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings in Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance certainly doesn't help his season-long stats, which already featured a middling 5.48 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. His inability to strike out a single batter this game is particularly concerning, given his already low season average of 5.08 K/9. Fantasy managers should be wary of Thorpe's recent form, as his elevated ERA and lack of strikeouts limit his upside. His low BABIP (.201) suggest some level of effectiveness, but his overall impact in fantasy leagues remains modest at best.
