Community Projection: Drew Smyly

4-7, 6.24 ERA, 6.26 FIP, 114 IP, 120 K, 55 BB, 32 HR, -0.4 bWAR

Saturday, Drew Smyly froze both Mike Trout and Justin Upton to get called third strikes and end the first inning of his second spring training start for the Giants. He powered through 1.2 scoreless innings in his first spring training start, too. Say — a 0.00 ERA through his first couple of spring starts is good, right?

The Giants think so much of Drew Smyly as a winning lottery ticket that they were willing to commit $4 million to him this offseason, no small feat for a team not interested in guaranteeing anything to incoming players.
