Analysis:
While he doesn't put up the flashiest of numbers, Leake has proven durable, throwing 160-plus innings in each of the last four years as a back-end starter for the Reds. The 27-year-old will be a free agent after 2015 and will be looked at as a player who eats innings, but has a very low ceiling when it comes to run prevention and fantasy value.
