During the past five seasons, no pitcher has made more starts (168) or averaged more pitches per start (112.6), and his 1203 1/3 innings pitched, postseason included, ranks second only to CC Sabathia (1244). Limiting it to only 2011-12, he tossed a mind-boggling 537 2/3 frames counting the postseason. Yet despite that hefty workload Verlander is coming off his two best seasons, which earned him a 2011 American League Cy Young and placed him second in the balloting in 2012. He also hasn't made a single trip to the disabled list in eight seasons as a big leaguer. Verlander's greatest asset in fantasy is volume; he is a pitcher with outstanding statistics, but it's the innings he pitches comparative to his brethren that enhance their impact. Rotisserie leagues, points-based leagues, head-to-head leagues, whatever style you play, Verlander should be one of -- it not the -- first starting pitchers off your board.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":5.2,"playerRater15DAY":4.4,"positionRank":38}
