| Jeff Francis officially activated |

| It's asking a lot of Fantasy owners to get excited about Jeff Francis, given that the lowest ERA he has recorded over his last four seasons was 4.82 (in 2011 with the Royals). Francis was actually an improved pitcher last season, though his 5.58 ERA doesn't tell that story. The lefty improved his strikeout, walk and ground ball rates, but righties hit .351 against him when the ball was in play, and he allowed a 277 average on ground balls versus all hitters. Not that every right-handed hitter he faced was a pull hitter, but maybe it's not a coincidence that the Rockies featured weak defense on the left side of the infield, particularly while Troy Tulowitzki was sidelined by groin surgery. Perhaps Tulowitzki's return in 2013 will save Francis from a few base hits, and he can get his ERA and WHIP low enough that he can be a viable option in NL-only leagues. (Updated 1/2/13) |
