The soon-to-be 23 year old didn't take that step forward this season, going 7-9 with a 5.59 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 25 starts and two relief appearances.","date":"Mon Sep 23"},"fullName":"Jordan Lyles","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"A pitch-to-contact hurler, Lyles has two career statistics that tell his tale: a 6.35 strikeouts-per-nine innings rate in 45 career games (40 starts) that puts so much of the onus on his defense, and .288/.354/.496 lifetime rates against left-handers that illustrate the lack of an \"out\" pitch to use against that side. Though he's still young -- he's 22 -- with much time to improve, Lyles has much work to do before he reaches a level of meaningful value in the majority of fantasy leagues. Heck, he had an ERA higher than 5.00 against both winning and losing teams in 2012; you can't make a case he's a matchups play. In Lyles' defense, the Astros have a patchwork rotation that affords them the necessary patience for him to work through his problems as a big leaguer. But just because he's a near lock for 30 starts doesn't mean you'll like the stats he gives you in them.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.7,"playerRater15DAY":-8.3,"positionRank":253}
