Juan Nicasio

Made the Pirates rotation and has RP status. Could make for an extra pitcher in points leagues.

Anyone running out to grab him?

I'm considering dropping Andrew Bailey for him. Phillies have not been clear on the closer role and sadly, I don't know how many save opportunities they will see this year anyway.. lol

I would definitely drop Bailey for him. Not sure how long it will last, but I assume Nicasio will have a fine April.

Just put in a trade offer for him

Nicasio has always struggled with sky high walk rates. So high that he makes Francsico Liriano look like Cliff Lee.

That being said, Ray Searage is an awesome coach. If anybody can help Nicasio command his pitches, it is Searage. So far, through spring training and his first start, Nicasio has done a fantastic job avoiding walks. If he keeps it up, he will have a breakout season.

Be careful though, if he starts walking guys, you would be advised to bench him.

I would expect an innings limit of something like 160. I would start looking for takers to sell high on, if possible.

No way man, I gonna keep him...
