4 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Daniel Mengden (elbow) said he expects to be ready for the start of the season whenever MLB is ready to resume play. Mengden had two surgeries on his digestive system this offseason and arthroscopic surgery on his pitching elbow in February. The right-hander would've missed the first few months of the season anyway, but he has been throwing in the bullpen and feels he is on track to start the season with the team. Despite being healthy, Mengden is an unappealing fantasy option. His 5.73 xFIP was worse than every qualified pitcher last season and he won't rack up strikeouts, either, thanks to a low 16.2 percent strikeout rate.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
