A polarizing player in the off-season was Lance Lynn, who missed all of 2016 with TJS and many stayed away from him because he was such an unknown. After his first two starts didn't breed confidence, his last four have been stellar including Friday's 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 2 BBs, 6 Ks against the Braves. That's a four start run of 25.0 IP, 23 Ks, 0.72 ERA, and 0.92 WHIP. Soft contact at 23.2% in that span and 50.8% grounders. Now, the teams haven't been the strongest (@ATL, PIT, @MIL, CIN) and there may be rougher times ahead as he's slated to face the Red Sox, Cubs and Dodgers (twice?) across the next month. Still, I'm riding this one out for all it's worth and Lynn could be definitively Top 35 by the end of the year. That's beautiful stuff for a guy drafted at the end of your drafts.
