Ervin Santana (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Ervin Santana has had many ups and downs in his 12 year career. Despite being winless (which can be attributed to being on the Twins), Santana's stock is looking up this year. In four starts, he has a 3.15 ERA and is striking out nearly a batter per inning. His 3.6 BB/9 is up a bit, but he has avoided the longball so far, only allowing one homer in 20 IP. Last year, Santana finished with a respectable 1.29 WHIP which mirrors his career average.

Santana will be hard-pressed to win 10 games with Minnesota, but he will likely be the most consistent of their starters this year. Expect ratio numbers slightly better than league average. He won't make as exciting a waiver add as Jose Berrios, but he ultimately will help your fantasy team more.
