The Rockies managed just four hits and one run in the next five innings, allowing Nolasco the shot at the win, making him the winningest pitcher in Marlins history.","date":"Tue May 22"},"fullName":"Ricky Nolasco","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"When it comes to \"underrated pitchers,\" or pitchers whose raw fantasy statistics tell a misleading story comparative to his peripherals, there comes a time when, perhaps, it's time to let go of the hope of additional growth and accept that the raw numbers are telling the more compelling story. Nolasco might well be the top example of this; in the past three seasons combined, he has a 4.76 ERA but a 3.57 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching score), and his 1.19 differential between the two represents the largest gap of any pitcher in baseball during that time. He's also notorious for being wholly unpredictable from outing to outing; on any given day he could surrender nine runs in 1 1/3 innings to the San Diego Padres (as he did last July 20) or toss a quality start at Great American Ball Park (as he did last May 1). Pitchers like this might be tantalizing fantasy \"sleepers,\" but so often they never fully wake from their nap. Feel free to speculate on Nolasco if you think he's underrated; we say we're not sure when -- or if -- he'll ever take the next step.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.2,"playerRater15DAY":-3.6,"positionRank":69}
