Despite the fact that the Orioles lost, this was still a strong start from Chen after allowing six runs in his previous outing against the Nationals. His record on the season still stands at 4-1 to accompany a 3.31 ERA, 42 strikeouts, and 18 walks.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Wei-Yin Chen","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Chen, Keith Law's No. 19 free agent entering this winter, signed with the Orioles, putting him right in the mix for a rotation spot come Opening Day. While he experienced a fair share of success in Japan, in four years posting a 2.48 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, his 2011 did come with its share of concerns. His fastball velocity dropped by a couple mph, and with it his strikeout rate, which went from 7.32 to 5.14 per nine innings from 2010-11. Whether Chen will regain that zip is unclear; he'll need to be tracked closely during his spring battle for a starting job. AL-only owners can feel free to speculate, but beware the possibility that he'll have to settle for either some seasoning in the minors, or a role in middle relief.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":2.8,"playerRater15DAY":0.2,"positionRank":52}
