Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
Chad Billingsley has had a very interesting career arch. Hailed as the franchise savior after his 2008 season, Chad had a poor 2009. However, in 2010, safely shielded from the expectations of a staff ace by the new savior, Clayton Kershaw, Billingsley settled down:
2008: 16 wins, 32 GS, 200.2 IP, 3.14 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 201 Ks, 2.51 SO/BB
2009: 12 wins, 32 GS, 196.1 IP, 4.03 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 179 Ks, 2.08 SO/BB
2010: 12 wins, 31 GS, 191.2 IP, 3.57 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 171 K, 2.48 SO/BB
The key stat here is consistency. Despite the differentials in wins and ERA from his best season in 2008, he has stayed relatively consistent with games started, innings pitched, wins, and WHIP. His 2009 season seems to be the outlier, primarily because opponents were slugging slightly better against him than previous years.
The from his days as a prospect in the Dodgers system, the expectations for Billingsley were always 22 wins, a sub-2.50 ERA and leading a team to the pennant. While this is still possible (except for the Dodgers winning the pennant – as a Dodger fan, I know that will never happen again), I think expectations should be changed to that of a dependable, workhorse pitcher.
While Chad gave up a career-low 8 long balls last year, he has been extremely homer-prone his entire career. The 8 jacks given up in his 2010 season were his lowest allowed in a full season by 6. However, it is important to note that Billingsley gave up 36 doubles last year, only one less than his career high 37 the year previous. Those balls easily could turn into homers next season. I would fully expect that he will probably revert back to giving up between 13-18 homers in the 2011 season to raise his ERA a few ticks.
Projection: Let’s all just love Chad for who he is; a solid number two or three starter who is going to give you a ton of innings, 10-15 wins, a bunch of Ks and a solid, but unspectacular ERA and WHIP.
13 wins, 3.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 185 Ks in 208 innings.
