Congrats to Indians starting pitcher Justin Masterson on a terrific start. He's certainly one of the biggest surprises to date and one of the most added players in Fantasy this week.
Logic tells us Masterson won't be able to keep his current pace, so there's no point in me stating the obvious. Obviously, you have to add Masterson in all Fantasy formats and ride the hot hand, but don't kid yourself -- a market correction is coming. Fantasy owners just have to decide whether or not to ride it out with Masterson or try and sell high.
There's no denying Masterson can be useful in larger Fantasy formats. He's surpassed 200 innings and has won 10-plus games the last two seasons, but he's not this good of a pitcher. Some of the more telling numbers to begin the season are Masterson is allowing just 4.1 hits per nine innings, which is well below his career average (8.8), and has a 94.7 percent strand rate (per FanGraphs.com), which is well above his career average (70.4 percent) and the league average (72.5 percent).
