RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

Escalona parlayed a 96 percent strand rate into a tidy 1.75 ERA in his big league debut despite a pedestrian 4.91 K/9IP out of the Colorado bullpen. That good fortune is even more difficult to believe when you consider that he's an extreme flyball pitcher. Nevertheless, Escalona was a strikeout-per-inning reliever at most of his minor league stops including Triple-A Colorado Springs in 2010 and 2011. While we expect the strikeout rate to improve in Year 2, the ERA should spike accordingly and Escalona may be trapped in a fringe middle-relief role bouncing between Colorado Springs and Denver this season.
