2008: ERA 3.91 FIP 4.79 BABIP .273

True, he's now getting 1 less K to his already low rate, his BABIP is even lower and his strand rate is higher, but he's still the extreme GB pitcher he was last year. Some people figure Chris Young to be an exception to the rule about suppressing BABIP. While we can't say the same thing about Lannan yet, is there any way that he might make a bid to the the 2nd SP to be able to do it, or is there a piece that I'm not seeing?

In your opinion, is Lannan a significant factor as a back-of-the-rotation pitcher in 14-team fantasy leagues this year, or is one better off going a different route (i.e. Maholm, Purcey, Galarraga, etc.)? Nice piece, David.
