kasmir

 

[Domination]

Kazmir and not even close.

 

[ooofffaaa]

I'll take Escobar - Kazmir drove me crazy last year.

 

[Balco]

Escobar

Kazmir and not even close.

Ks = Kazmir

WHIP = Escobar

ERA = equal

OppBA = equal

wins = Escobar (better pen)

Can Kazmir achieve $22 in value this year? possibly

Can Escobar achieve $12 in value this year? absolutely

That said, Escobar is always an injury risk because he has at least one DL stint a season in him while Kazmir has been relatively reliable. I'd keep Kazmir but it isn't a lock solid choice as others may think. Escobar is an under appreciated fantasy talent.

kazmir

escobar will drop off this year.

Kazmir all the way.

Kazmir's skills are starting to level out, but still some upside.

Although his surface stats don't show it, Escobar's skills are on a three year slide and with him being 32 should continue. Don't overvalue Escobar like many will on draft day.

Knightro knows things.

Those numbers are just the surface stats. You need to go below the surface to find the skill. Escobar will be overvalued this year. His skill stats just don't match is surface stats.
