Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
Brett Myers, welcome back to fantasy baseball relevance! A draft day afterthought to many in 2010, Myers was one of the most consistent starters in all of MLB, pitching at least 6 innings in first 32 starts of the season (he pitched 5.2 innings in his final start). So it's not surprising he had a career year in ERA at 3.14.
So what changed for a pitcher who hasn't been relevant for 4 years? Two things: he kept the ball in the strike-zone and in the ballpark (as last year marked his season low in both BB/9 at 2.7 and HR/9 at 0.8.)
The big question is can he keep these numbers similar in 2011.
Well let's start with the BB/9. While this was the lowest of his career, in the end it wasn't too divergent from his career trend in the category.
The HR/9 rate is the key for Myers. Last year's total was the clear outlier in his career number (0.8 HR/9 last year compared to 1.3 HR/9 for his career.) and that 0.5 difference has a tremendous impact on ERA. The difference can best be explained by a career low 8.5% HR/FB (compared to 14.3% career.)
How can you explain this drop? First, when you look at the difference between Citizen's Bank Park vs. Minute Made Park (where he pitched in 2010) the Park Factors for HR's is not that much different. Second, his GB % of 48.5 is consistent with his career 47.5%, so an increased GB rate may not be the answer either.
While the stats do not provide a clear answer into the decrease in HR, it may be as simple as his better control resulting in fewer balls being left over the plate. In any case, you should expect an increase in HR/FB % for Myers in 2010. It's just a question of how much of one.
Projection: I am one of the believers in the new Brett Myers and think he'll be closer to his break-out year in 2010 than his form the few years before.
