Jose Suarez

Suarez logged exactly as many innings (52.1) in Triple-A as in the majors last year, and he registered an ERA over 6.00 along with a WHIP of precisely 1.61 at both stops. Though he averaged over a strikeout per inning, the southpaw was pounded when batters made contact, as the 47.7% hard-hit rate against him ranked in the second percentile leaguewide. During his time with the big club last year, Suarez was mostly used as a reliever, though he started in his final two appearances and fared better, allowing three earned runs and posting a 10:4 K:BB over 10 innings. Perhaps that's an indication that he's best suited for work as a starter -- Suarez had stretches of success in that role earlier in his career -- but there's unlikely to be room for him in Los Angeles' rotation. Instead, he's probably slated to be a long-relief arm, which gives him very little appeal in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
