5 years agoLos Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney was named the Opening Day starter on Sunday by manager Joe Maddon. The left-hander boasts strong strikeout totals over his career but battled injuries last season while going only 4-6 with a 4.91 ERA. The Angels are heading into their season without a true ace on their staff so Heaney will get the call. In 95 1/3 innings pitched last season, Heaney averaged 11.14 strikeouts per nine innings but allowed 20 home runs during that span. The left-handed veteran has swing-and-miss stuff but has never put it together for a full season. Heaney's fantasy value will be tied to health this season and should not be drafted until the final few rounds in most upcoming drafts.--Joey C - RotoBaller
