Predict Thy Numbers: Derek Holland

[ChiSoxFanMike]

Not expecting much from him at all.

 

5-11, 4.82 ERA, 143 K's, 1.47 WHIP, 6.2 K/9, and -0.2 WAR in 26 starts

I'm hoping Holland is decent enough to move in July for something.

I'm hoping Holland is decent enough to move in July for something.

 

Best case scenario, Holland gives us a respectable first half and could be a flip candidate at the deadline.

 

Worst case he gets injured

 

Middle ground is he is a below average innings eater who gets us through this season

I'm hoping Holland is decent enough to move in July for something.

Maybe a lottery ticket, but I'm not even expecting that much. He'll probably just be a 1 year stopgap until guys like Giolito and Lopez are ready for full time roles.

143 K's at a 6.2 K/9 rate would mean he pitched 207+ innings. 207 innings of a 4.82 ERA would not give him a negative WAR and if he just made 26 starts it would mean he averaged 8 innings per start.
