Even in his 19 win season a few years ago, he had a k/bb ratio of under 2 and k/9 = 4.7, which is very rare for a supposedly elite pictcher (and often a warning sign for fantasy managers who do their sabermetric homework before draft day). I think most managers look at Chien Mien this year as a late round flyer just in case he got lucky.

Yes, many thought he was due for a correction, but to get such a negative performance out of the projected 3d starter is probably a greater disappointment than a young pitcher in his first full season having a hiccup. with chamberlain, you may still "buy low" in fantasy and, with a repeat of this year, not get to badly burned. Wang, on the other hand, may be an avoid at all cost guy in next year's fantasy drafts. Chien Mien Wang has to be the biggest disappointment.
