Kuroda knocked around in Game 3: Dodgers SP Hiroki Kuroda's first start of the postseason was a bitterly brief one. Two singles, a double, a triple, a home run. Philadelphia hit for the cycle only eight batters into Game 3 of the NL championship series, battering Kuroda on Sunday night and sending him to the dugout after only recording four outs. He allowed six runs on six hits with one strikeout. He was rested -- and rusty -- in his first start since Sept. 28 because of a bulging disk in his neck. He sat out the NL division series against St. Louis. Manager Joe Torre said he didn't know how he might use Kuroda the rest of the series. The four-time World Series champion manager refused to blame Kuroda's injury or the cooler temperatures for his struggles. "The ball didn't behave," Torre said.

Fantasy Analysis

Kuroda isn't a dominant pitcher, but despite what he showed Sunday, he's effective and typically posts a good WHIP. He'll have some mixed-league appeal in 2010, especially since he pitches for a contender, but you shouldn't consider drafting him until late.
