There's nothing more frustrating for fantasy owners than investing high draft capital in a pitcher who fails to produce. As I did with hitters, I won't let a full year injury dictate if a pitcher disappointed, but it could play a role.
Pitchers Who Disappointed:
Colorado Rockies Starting Pitcher German Marquez -- Fantasy owners aren't the only ones who can be fooled by a player. The Rockies extended Marquez prior to the start of the 2019 season after he finished 2018 with 230 strikeouts and a 3.77 ERA. This also led the right-hander to be drafted as the 23rd overall starting pitcher in March. However, investing in a pitcher in Colorado is risky business, and Marquez regressed this season by finishing with a 4.76 ERA. This was the second time in three seasons that Marquez ended the year with an ERA above 4.00. That should be the expectation moving forward.
