Analysis:

Nicasio's final season with the Rockies was nothing short of a disaster, as he posted a 5.38 ERA (5.45 FIP), 1.47 WHIP and 63:31 K:BB in 33 appearances (14 starts). The move to Dodger Stadium should help Nicasio's issues with the long ball (18.3% HR/FB last season, 12.6% for career), but the results will have to be a lot better for him to maintain a spot at the back of the rotation.
