2021 Fantasy Outlook
A thumb injury delayed the start of Quintana's 2020 season, and then a lat injury slowed him down in September. With the slate already condensed down to 60 games, the lefty managed to toss only 10 innings across four contests, so there's not much to read into his 4.50 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Looking back to 2019 paints a better picture of Quintana's current form. That year, the 31-year-old produced a 4.68 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 152 strikeouts across 171 innings. Quintana mostly fell short of expectations after joining the Cubs via trade during the 2017 season, as he registered an ERA north of 4.00 in each of his two full campaigns with the club. As a member of the White Sox between 2012 and 2016, Quintana logged a 3.41 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. The southpaw is now a free agent, and while his new team will hope he can recapture his White Sox form, fantasy managers should base expectations on more recent results. Read Past Outlooks

Joining Angels
Quintana agreed to a one-year, $8 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old made only four appearances in 2020 but had a 4.24 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 82 games for the Cubs over the past four years, and he'll now be reunited with former manager Joe Maddon in Los Angeles. Quintana should slot into the middle of the Halos' starting rotation for 2021.

Quintana is a league average pitcher coming off a season where his ratios were artificially bloated pitching into some bad luck. Specifically, his 1.39 WHIP was inflated via a high .326 BABIP, not corroborated by the underlying metrics, save an unusually high line-drive rate. Not only did Quintana's 4.68 ERA suffer from the extra hits, a 65.9% left-on-base mark elevated it well past its estimators. The lefty's 20.4 K% was a little below league average though his 14.2 K-BB% was league norm. The area Quintana excelled in was keeping the ball in the yard, allowing just 20 homers in 171 innings. While a league-average pitcher has value, especially in formats allowing streaming, Quintana isn't the underrated difference maker helping to win fantasy championships people thought he was just a few years back. Consider him back-end rotation filler with limited upside but safe when deployed judiciously.
