A 26-year-old Korean left-hander, Ryu managed a 2.69 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 3.35 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his two seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization, though scouts claimed his long-term U.S. value could range anywhere from a reliever to a middle-of-the-rotation starter. Command is key -- he's primarily a change-of-speeds type -- and that's something that could take time to develop, considering he'll be adapting to the U.S. game this year. If Ryu lingers deep enough in your mixed-league draft, or doesn't cost you a hefty price tag in NL-only formats, he's worth the chance that he becomes that middle-of-rotation guy some say he could be. Otherwise, he's probably not worth it.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.4,"playerRater15DAY":3.6,"positionRank":26}
