The right-hander has struggled recently but was excellent for most of the season, while playing on a one-year contract. Kuroda finishes the year with an 11-13 record, 3.31 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 150:43 K:BB ratio over 201.1 innings.","date":"Sat Sep 28"},"fullName":"Hiroki Kuroda","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"So much for the move to the American League East, and homer-happy Yankee Stadium, ruining Kuroda's fantasy prospects. The right-hander has enjoyed a five-year U.S. career of incredibly consistent performances; his annual ERAs are 3.73, 3.76, 3.39, 3.07 and 3.32, his FIPs 3.59, 3.58, 3.26, 3.78 and 3.86, and his BABIPs .281, .271, .283, .287 and .281. In other words, you know what to expect, the only variance in Kuroda's fantasy stats the 16 wins he notched in 2012, which were the product of his joining a higher-scoring team. Now 38, Kuroda could be nearing the end of his more productive years as a big leaguer. But without any evidence that it's approaching, why shouldn't you draft him expecting a repeat of his 2012?","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.8,"playerRater15DAY":-1.8,"positionRank":36}
