Rockies' Jordan Lyles: Avoids arbitration
The Rockies have agreed to terms with Lyles on a one-year contract and avoided arbitration.
Analysis:
Lyles has a career 5.17 ERA in 611.1 innings, and was even worse than that last year, posting a 5.83 ERA and 32:28 K:BB over 58.2 innings, mostly in relief. He has very minimal fantasy value as a starter, and essentially no value as a reliever, which will be his likely role in 2017.
