| When A.J. Griffin first arrived in Oakland as a midseason callup, Fantasy owners could be excused for their collective lack of enthusiasm. He doesn't throw hard and posted mediocre strikeout rates in the upper minors, so despite some low ERAs and WHIPs, he didn't generate the buzz typically reserved for flame-throwing strikeout machines. We soon learned that Griffin isn't just a run-of-the-mill control pitcher. He is the owner of a curveball that usually sits in the upper 60s and gets batters to whiff or freeze at the plate. Despite the lack of a heater, Griffin coaxed strikeouts at a respectable rate -- 64 in 82 1/3 innings -- and popups at a robust 10 percent rate. He didn’t achieve a 7-1 record, 3.06 ERA or 1.13 WHIP with a typical skill set, but over his 15 starts, Griffin looked like the real deal. He likely still has his skeptics, but the 25-year-old has the upside to make a late-round pick in standard mixed leagues pay off handsomely. (Updated 12/4/12) |
