Expert Note
View More NotesFool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, look at all those strikeouts. Fool me three times … but his FIP is still lower. Even though he missed over a month with an abdominal strain last year, Archer has amassed the sixth-most strikeouts (644) over the last three seasons. He has collected a 3.64 FIP and 3.54 SIERA during that span. His ERA also ballooned above 4.00 each year. How many times can we keep putting our hand on the hot stove? Archer's fastball has ceded a slugging percentage above .500 in each campaign, so he wields no other effective pitch beyond his slider. He's an elite source of strikeouts, but don't expect a positive ERA contribution.

Chris Archer (hernia surgery) says he has already thrown four bullpen session without issue.
Fantasy Impact
Archer also said his goal is to be able to throw over 100 pitches by Opening Day. The 30-year-old underwent hernia surgery in November but should be good to go to start the year. Archer has had an ERA over 4.00 each of the past three season after finishing fifth in the 2015 Cy Young voting.
