Lance Lynn (SP, STL) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~265

CURRENT ADP: 293

ANALYSIS: Lance Lynn had been a consistent and effective starter for the Cardinals for four straight seasons until 2016. From 2012-15, he held a 3.38 ERA and an 8.65 K/9, and for three straight seasons he was among the top-two starters in all of baseball in HR/FB rate. However, Lynn missed the entire 2016 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and never made it back onto the field. Heading into 2017, though, you should feel fine about taking him at his reduced price.

Lynn will have no limitations this season, and has said his arm feels good right now after not throwing for the majority of last season. Regaining control will be huge for Lynn, who throws a heavy dose of fastballs. He is fully capable of returning to his top-30 fantasy SP status, and is currently the 83rd-ranked SP on FantasyPros.
