Nicolino (1-0) held the Dodgers to two hits and two walks over 7.1 innings in his season debut Wednesday, striking out two en route to a 2-0 win.
With Jarred Cosart having been demoted, there's room in the rotation for Nicolino, and he's made a terrific argument to stick around for more starts. However, that 2:2 K:BB is a continuation of an existing trend -- he struck out just 23 while walking 20 in 74 innings last season. Although the 24-year-old lefty's posted better ratios than that in the minors, his lack of swing-and-miss stuff makes him an unappetizing fantasy option, particularly on a Marlins team that's likely to put up a losing record this year.
