Early struggles doom Gallardo: Brewers SP Yovani Gallardo struggled out of the gates in Game 3 of the NLCS, but would settle down after the first inning. Gallardo gave up for earned runs (all in the first inning) and the Brewers would not be able to recover. Milwaukee would lose the game to St. Louis, 4-3. Gallardo struck out two batters and issued five free passes in his five innings of work. He was tagged with the loss. (Updated 10/13/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Gallardo went 17-10 with a 3.52 ERA during the regular season, while striking out 207 batters in his 207 1/3 innings on the mound. He allowed just two earned runs in his two starts in the NLDS against Arizona, but had his troubles with the Cardinals. Heading into 2012, Fantasy owners should view Gallardo as a No. 2 SP option, worth grabbing in the early rounds on Draft Day. (Updated 10/13/2011).

It's time for owners to start looking ahead to Draft Day. We get you off and running with our 12-team Rotisserie mock draft. Check out the results!
Yovani Gallardo was one of Milwaukee's more consistent pitchers in 2011 and finished with some of the best numbers of his young career. He posted career highs in wins (17), strikeouts (207) and innings pitched (207 1/3), all while posting a 3.52 ERA in 33 starts. The additions of Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum took some pressure off of the right-hander and he was supplied more than enough offense with a potent lineup backing him up. While he allowed 193 hits – the most he ever had -- he walked just 59 and compiled at least 200 strikeouts for the third straight campaign. He heads into 2012 as a member of the potent Brewers rotation once again and should only continue to improve at age 25. While he has been known to give up the gopher ball, his career 3.63 ERA and the fact that he will be playing for a contender will make him a solid option in Fantasy once again. Consider Gallardo a Top 20 Fantasy SP on Draft Day, worthy of being taken in the early rounds. (Updated 1/25/12)
