I know, I know. Terrible title pun and Vance Worley isn't exactly the most exciting Pitcher Profile. CALL UP ANDREW HEANEY ALREADY! Just needed to get that out of my system...
I thought about a Danny Duffy. Maybe Daisuke Matsuzaka. Mostly because that would be an inning-long Pitcher Profile and I could play more Call of Duty. He shoulda laid off the Steak "n Shake! Over/under on amount of times you see that joke today...
But back to Worley. I think it's easily forgotten just how good a run he had for the 2011 Phillies. 3.01 ERA? 119 Ks in 131.2 IP? 11 Wins? Really surprising looking back on those... Then he was terrible in his follow-up with the Phils, followed by getting absolutely crushed in 10 starts for the Twins last year. Starting 2014 in AAA, Worley was meh in 7 starts with a 4.30 ERA, but an encouraging 43 Ks in 46 innings. Which nobody would ever care about, except he had as good a debut anyone could've expected yesterday at Miami. And actually - and I didn't even think to look until the broadcast showed his Minors numbers - 43:4 K:BB in AAA. Wowzer! So I decided to take a look at the spectacled SP and if there's anything there for you to care about in your fantasy leagues:
