Before, <player idref='s numbers were the only thing standing in his way. The top prospect has had a bumpy transition to the Pacific Cost League after dominating the Eastern League and International League last year. So will this mechanical adjustment that helped him rediscover his command last time out put him back on the fast track?
That all depends on Jeremy Hefner. One of the most irrelevant starting pitchers in Fantasy coming into the season is now one of the biggest nuisances in Fantasy. The 27-year-old has allowed two earned runs on seven hits in 15 innings over his last two starts. The Mets won't have need to replace him if he keeps doing that.
Maybe it's for the best. Hefner's recent brush with adequacy buys the Mets some time to make sure Wheeler's mechanical tweak sticks. Still, it's reason to keep from rushing out and adding Wheeler in single-season leagues.
