Michael Pineda
You probably forgot about this guy last season, since not only was he recovering from Tommy John Surgery then injured his knee and needed meniscus surgery, but if he is healthy, there is no doubt that Michael Pineda will be a part of the Minnesota Twins rotation in 2019 and could help your fantasy baseball roster as well.
Pineda got into 12 innings in the minor leagues last year and may have come u to the majors had he stayed healthy. The Twins are looking to contend next year and will need arms behind Jose Berrios. There’s no doubt that if he’s healthy, he’ll get his chance.
Back in his last full season of 2016, Pineda had 10.6 K per 9. If he can continue to drop his hard contact rate and get the fly ball rate under 30%, and a ballpark in Target Field that will be more friendly than Yankee Stadium.
Batters were making better contact off Pineda in 2017, though that could be attributed to the injury. His 3.2 WAR was 23rd among all pitchers in baseball in 2016. If he can return to that kind of level, that’s a very valuable arm to have in fantasy baseball.
