Randy Vasquez sinks further in Saturday's rout
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sun, Sep 1st 8:29am EDT
Randy Vasquez struggled mightily, surrendering nine earned runs on 11 hits and three walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing only exacerbates the concerns surrounding Vasquez's fantasy viability. His season ERA ballooned to 5.18, and with a WHIP of 1.59, he's allowing too many baserunners to be a reliable option. The low strikeout rate of 5.7 K/9 further diminishes his appeal in categories that reward punchouts. Given these metrics and a troubling trend in his performances, fantasy managers should consider other options, as Vasquez is currently more of a liability than an asset in most formats.
