Erik Goeddel

In his fifth season in the big leagues, Goeddel pitched a career-high 36.2 innings, appearing for both the Mariners and Dodgers before lat and elbow injuries ended his season in August. The reliever's results were good when he was available, as he finished with a 2.95 ERA and a career-best 28.4% strikeout rate. Even with the strikeouts, the estimators were less glowing as his ERA was helped by a .256 BABIP and an 84.5% strand rate. He finished with a 3.90 FIP, a number more in line with a forgettable middle reliever than a late-inning candidate. That said, if Goeddel can keep the gains in his strikeout rate while reducing his walk rate from the 12.9% mark he posted last year to the 9.0% walk rate he posted the season prior, he could be entrusted with close to 50 frames for the first time. First, he needs to prove he's healthy and then he needs to find a team to sign with.
