Fantasy Analysis
Westbrook went 12-9 with a 4.66 ERA over 33 starts during the regular season but the Cardinals have not trusted him for the playoffs yet. He will likely pitch out of the bullpen against the Rangers so keep an eye on his progress going forward. Fantasy owners should look to Westbrook as more of an option for NL-only formats for 2012 drafts. (Updated 10/18/2011).

Jake Westbrook accomplished a feat last year that he has done only two other times during his major league career -- he turned in a winning season. Westbrook, who has been hindered by inconsistency and ineffectiveness throughout his 10-year tenure in the majors, posted a 12-9 record in 33 starts with St. Louis last season. The veteran right-hander hurled 183 1/3 innings during his first full season in the National League and punched out 104 batters -- the fifth occasion he has amassed 100-plus strikeouts in his career. Still, he continues to deal with wildness as he walked a career-high 73 batters en route to a subpar 1.53 WHIP. Westbrook also had six outings in which he issued at least four walks and finished ranked ninth in the National League for his unimpressive walk total. The Cardinals welcome the return of Adam Wainwright from Tommy John surgery this year, which will bump Westbrook down in the rotation. Still, he is only considered a low-end option in deeper NL-only Fantasy formats for 2012 as Fantasy owners shouldn’t bank on back-to-back winning seasons. (Updated 2/6/12)
