Pitching across three levels, the sturdy 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander sported a 2.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 9.3 strikeouts-per-nine-innings ratio over 132 innings. His fastball sits in the mid-90s, and his secondary offerings are also plus, so it's just a matter of some fine-tuning -- improving his command, learning how to better set up hitters -- before Cole is ready for a call-up. The 22-year-old should begin 2013 at Triple-A, where he'll be in position for a first-half call, likely once he's free from qualifying for Super Two status (think sometime in June). Cole has the stuff to make an impact in all fantasy formats, so mixed-league owners should monitor his outings and be ready to pounce at the first hint of a promotion, whereas owners in deeper leagues will need to add him well in advance. Longer-term, he has the upside to be a top-10 starter.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":7.2,"playerRater15DAY":4.3,"positionRank":62}
