Frankie Montas

Montas was one of the best starters in baseball until his season ended prematurely thanks to a PED suspension. Before then, he had used added velocity and improved control to lower is ERA to 2.63 and tally nine wins in just 16 starts. There's always a question of how a player coming off a PED suspension will perform the following year but, for the most part, they are often able to maintain much of their performance. Draft Montas expecting solid overall numbers, though expect an ERA in the 3.00s, rather than the 2.00s.

Frankie Montas throws 2 2/3 on Sunday

Frankie Montas pitched 2 2/3 innings Sunday allowing four hits, two runs, zero earned runs, and added two strike outs against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Montas kept his spring ERA at 0.00 over 5 2/3 innings so far this spring. If Montas can replicate last years numbers over a full season he should provide solid value pitching for an A’s team that should provide their staff with plenty of run support.
