His only real blemish was a solo home run to Chris Heisey in the third inning, but he was removed in the ninth after walking the leadoff man who eventually came around to score. He now has a 1.53 ERA and 0.75 WHIP with a 21:6 K:BB over 29.1 innings this year. With a match-up against the Marlins next, he should be active in all formats.","date":"Wed Apr 24"},"fullName":"Carlos Villanueva","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Villanueva parlayed a workman-like performance as a late-season rotation fill-in for the snake-bitten 2012 Blue Jays into a two-year, $10-million deal with the Cubs, where he'll probably return to his previous swingman role on a team just as likely to have future rotation vacancies. What changed for him last year: improvement upon his slider, responsible for 72 of his 122 whiffs. That made Villanueva a bit of a strikeouts sleeper, and that's his upside in NL-only formats or from a matchups angle. Matchups-wise, he has a 3.52 career ERA against sub-.500 teams, so if -- or when -- he moves into the Cubs' rotation, he could become a sneaky plug-and-play type.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":4.5,"playerRater15DAY":4.3,"positionRank":29}
