RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

The Padres have been developing Frieri since 2006 and the work is certainly paying dividends. Last season he posted a solid 10.89 K/9IP with a 10.0 swinging-strike percentage, keeping hitters off balance with a 92 mph fastball and a rather off-putting curveball. He even began to incorporate a slider, although his command of it still needs a bit of work. He could stand to limit the walks (4.59 B/9IP), but he doesn't give up very many home runs and posted a solid 81.3 percent strand rate. He'll be an integral part of the bullpen this year and may be involved in consideration for save opportunities at some point now that Heath Bell is gone.

2011

A starter in 2009, Frieri spent 2010 exclusively pitching out of the bullpen. In the first half of the season he was at Triple-A Portland, where he shined with a 1.43 ERA, 0.860 WHIP, 11.71 K/9IP and 17 saves. He continued his dominance in the second half with the Padres, posting a 1.71 ERA, 1.105 WHIP and 11.65 K/9IP. His walk rate in 2009 was pushing 4.0 BB/9IP and in 2010 it was well past that mark (4.83). For now, his elite strikeout rate allows him to get away with this, but that won't always be the case. He should pitch as a middle reliever again in 2011, thus limiting his fantasy value outside of leagues that count holds.

2010

Despite being signed in 2001, Frieri had limited experience above A ball prior to last season, when he settled into San Antonio's rotation and pitched adequately. He's actually been very effective since moving back to starting in 2008, and has a bit more upside than the rest of the Padres' crop of B-grade starting prospects. It is extremely hard to tell which of them will get the next chance, but Frieri, still just 24 and without any record of failure, is one of the more draftable options, albeit for 2011 and beyond.

2009

Signed in 2004 as a free agent out of Bolivar, Columbia, Frieri has a live arm suitable for starting or as a power reliever. He spent the bulk of 2008 at High-A Lake Elsinore, splitting time starting and relieving. However, a pair of late season starts with Double-A San Antonio and one with Triple-A Portland suggest Frieri could be on the fast track and could see time with the Padres this season. His minor league peripherals are promising so put him on your radar.
