He could neither gain a feel for it nor was willing to use it quite as often in the early weeks, and sure enough, in the first half of the season he was 8-for-17 in quality starts with a 4.56 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. Wainwright did improve as the summer progressed, however, going 10-for-18 in quality starts with a 3.49 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in the second half, and throwing his curve 4 percent more often than he did in the first half. He's now in his second year since his operation, the season many cite as the year a pitcher truly recaptures the feel of all his pitches, meaning his ceiling might be restored as a member of the top 10 starting pitchers, which is what he was in 2010. Wainwright will bear some watching during spring training to see whether his curve truly has that fierce break it did pre-surgery, but if it does he might be a value even ranked as generously as we have him.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":6.1,"playerRater15DAY":6,"positionRank":3}
