Felix Hernandez Has Chance To Win Rotation Spot
5 years agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Felix Hernandez has a chance to win a rotation spot with his new team with Cole Hamels (shoulder) expected to miss at least half of April. Hernandez has slimmed down and is confident that he's healthy enough to win a rotation spot in Atlanta. The six-time All-Star and former Cy Young winner has a 5.42 ERA in only 59 starts over the last three seasons, however, and most fantasy owners have likely already written him off. King Felix will be competing with Sean Newcomb, Kyle Wright, Bryse Wilson and Touki Toussaint for the final two rotation spots. If he wins a spot to begin the year, Hernandez could be worth a late-round flier in deep mixed and NL-only leagues.
