Do Not Draft: Snell, Scherzer and others to avoid in fantasy baseball - ESPN
Left-hander Blake Snell took the mound on May 31 in Miami last season with one win over his first 10 starts and an unsightly 5.04 ERA. Fantasy investors, quite obviously, were not pleased and many moved on. Snell had walked four-plus hitters in half of those outings and, while he had more strikeouts than innings pitched, a 1.60 WHIP does damage. Sure, Snell had won 21 games and the 2018 AL Cy Young Award with the Rays, but it had been a roller coaster of inconsistent fantasy numbers and low volume even since for the Rays and Padres.
