Jen-Ho Tseng

Tseng had a strong showing at the two highest levels of the Cubs' minor-league system last year, tossing 90.1 innings with a 2.99 ERA at Double-A Tennessee and 55 innings with a 1.80 ERA at Triple-A Iowa (though his FIP there was a considerably less impressive 4.25). He also earned a brief, six-inning cameo in the majors. Despite last year's success, he doesn't project to be anything more than a back-end starter, with a fastball that sits in the low 90s and no particularly impressive secondaries. Still, the Cubs' aren't deep at starting pitcher beyond their current rotation and swingman Mike Montgomery, so Tseng could end up making a number of starts when injuries inevitably strike. If and when that happens, expect the team's strong lineup to help him get a few wins, but don't bank on too many strikeouts, as he's struck out just 6.8 batters per nine innings in the minors.
