Garza in better shape: Rays SP Matt Garza came to St. Petersburg from his California home in late January to join the team's offseason workouts at Tropicana Field. According to The Sports Xchange, Garza is in better shape and lighter (220 pounds as opposed to 225) after intensifying his conditioning regimen.

Fantasy Analysis

Garza's power stuff was on display in the 2008 ALCS and led to a career-high 189 strikeouts in his first year surpassing 200 innings as a pro. The next step is reaching that plateau again. If he does, he should be a solid candidate to go over 200 strikeouts as well. Garza is one of the aces of the young Rays and should be a bigger winner than he was a year ago, when he slipped to just eight victories. There is 20-victory stuff here, but since he is still just getting started, we cannot expect him to reach even 15 at this point. He should go off the board among the top 40 starting pitchers and will prove as dominant as anyone in stretches.
