King Five LateRound Fantasy Baseball WHIP Options |
|
The strikeouts is his real advantage, because if people don� put the ball in play, luck has little to do with anything. It also allows him to struggle with his control I� projecting a BB/9 of 3.35 and still post an above average WHIP.
THIS ARTICLE IS ALSO FEATURED ON [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
Rotoprofessor� Projection: 1.30 WHIP over 150 innings
He has tremendous control career BB/9 of 2.05, which gives him the opportunity to post impressive WHIPs every season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], barring incredible bad luck.
Last year Miller was begining to put things together towards the end of the season, before an eblendncy appendectomy shut him down early. In August 28.1 innings, Miller was pitching to a 1.21 WHIP, showing you that the potential is still there.

What is your ideas on these five players? Which would you take late in your draft if you is looking for help in the WHIP department? is there any other pitchers you� target?
Will Miller be an elite control artist?Probably not, but Miller certainly should be good enough an improvement here will help offset some decreased luck, as Miller enjoyed a .257 BABIP.

People generally ignore Kuroda, but that� strictly due to injuries that limited his opportunities in 2010. The fact of the matter is, when healthy, he� proven to be a tremendous option for fantasy owners.
?/p>
How can a pitcher who has posted WHIPs of 1.38 and 1.41 the past two years be a worthwhile option in the later rounds? Because that would be ignoring the rest of his history: 1.27 in 2010; 1.27 in 2010; 1.14 in 2010.

Buerhrle is often overlooked due to his lack of strikeout potential 5.19 career K/9, but there is some positives that Miller brings to a fantasy roster.
If Miller breaks camp with the team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then his value is going to be that of a potential top 30 pitcher, if not better.

Rotoprofessor� Projection: 1.22 WHIP over 165 innings
Again, like Buehrle, Miller generates a lot of groundballs 50.6 percent for his career. As long as Miller doesn� suffer from a lot of bad luck, a number less than 1.25 he� been at 1.22 and 1.14 his first two years is a certainty.
He does generate a lot of groundballs, so there is always a chance for a sub par BABIP, that� not something that should be expected.?/p>
As long as his BABIP comes in under .300, he� a shoe-in to be a useful WHIP option in the later rounds.

He got a cup of coffee with the Padres at the end of ?9 and showed that, even while struggling, Miller could post a very good WHIP Miller had a 4.62 ERA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but just a 1.30 WHIP.

Like Buehrle, Miller doesn� bid much in the strikeout department K/9 of 6.67 in ?9, but Miller has great control enabling him to distinctively help you in the WHIP department.?/p>
Over his first 300.2 career Major League innings, Miller posted a BB/9 of 1.98. That� a tremendous number and easily puts him in line to post a great WHIP.
portion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], share, piece, allotment, section, fraction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fragment of the discrepancy is going against less experienced hitters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Miller still wouldn� expect such a big jump.
Rotoprofessor� Projection: 1.27 WHIP over 110 innings
He has always had good control, even the past two years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a career BB/9 of 2.48. Miller also has the advantage of a honorable strikeout rate, meaning Miller can last more bad luck and still post a usable mark. While Miller may not be an 8.5 or better K/9 pitcher, if he� in the mid-7s, it� a plus.

We all know his story and about all the potential Miller has,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so we�e not going to spend a ton of time on him here. What his potential 2010 value comes down to is when Miller makes his debut with the Nationals.
Rotoprofessor� Projection: 1.30 WHIP over 210 innings
He struggled with his control 4.1 BB/9, something that is not indicative of what Miller had been displaying in the minor leagues 2.3 BB/9 over 184.2 innings.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Jacob de Golish Miller finished the 2010 season by establishing himself as the begining goalie for the Sabres. Miller arrangeed 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and 9th with a save percentage of 91.4 percent. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season, winning 30 games and proving himself to be one of the hardest working goalies in the league. Miller played well in the postseason as well, advancing the Sabres to the conference finals before injuries finally caught up with them, losing game 7 to Carolina.
When you look at potentially filling your fantasy rotation out in the late rounds on draft day, WHIP is one of the categories you have to keep in mind. While strikeout potential is great, if the pitcher is capable of walking the ballpark and posting a WHIP of 1.35 or worse, Miller potentially will do more harm then good.
Rotoprofessor� Projection: 1.27 WHIP over 195 innings
Since 2010 he� thrown at least 200 innings every season and has had just three seasons of WHIP worse than 1.26.
With that in mind, let� look at five pitchers with the potential to contribute in WHIP and who is generally available after Round 18:
He also should provide more strikeouts then Miller did last season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when Miller posted a K/9 of 6.9 Miller was at 10.6 over his minor league career. Like Miller said with Strasburg, if people aren� putting the ball in play as often, bad luck has less of an impact.
