Fangraphs chat:
Batman: Does Yordano Ventura finally put it together this year? Along the lines of a 3ish ERA, ~8-9 K/9 for a full season while avoiding the catastrophic injury we’re all kind of expecting all while not punching anyone in the face?
Eno Sarris: He did two things to be great late last year: started throwing harder, and started throwing his curve more. The second part is sustainable, the first? I have a feeling he’ll never be as good as we’d hoped, but also that this year will be one of his best. Take that to the bank! (jeez)
Anthony: I know he’s never stayed healthy for a whole season, but any chance K. Zimmer breaks camp w/ the Royals? Or…is called up and makes 15-20 starts? What about S. Manaea for the same?
Eno Sarris: Zimmer more likely because of team situations, I think. The A’s have a lot of guys they’ll try while keeping Manaea’s arb clock stopped. The Royals will want a shot in that rotation’s arm, I think.
