Fantasy Analysis
O'Sullivan allowed at least six earned runs four of his final five starts for the Royals on the season as his WHIP finished at 1.78. He almost allowed as many runs as innings he pitched this season as a 24-year-old. There is plenty of time for O'Sullivan to turn things around in his career, but as of now he's not a recommended Fantasy option heading into next season. Fantasy owners should not be targeting O'Sullivan on Draft Day at this point. (Updated 09/27/2011).
