  • Herrera has breakout year : Royals pitcher Kelvin Herrera was the top minor-league pitcher in 2011. He pitched in just one game in 2009 before being shut down with a stress fracture in his right elbow. Herrera saw action in eight games in 2010 before sustaining the same injury. "It's tough, because two years in a row you think, 'Maybe my career's done,'" Herrera told MLB.com on Thursday. Kansas City converted him from a starter to a reliever to best utilize his velocity and protect his elbow this year and it worked. "I've been working on it," Herrera said. "I was a starter and I always had good command on my pitches -- sometimes not that good, other times, very, very good."

    Fantasy Analysis
    Herrera started the season in Class A and moved up to Triple-A by the end of 2011, before becoming a September call-up for the Royals. He walked just 15 batters in 67 2/3 innings of work in the minors the entire year. "I saw a great fastball, with command," Omaha manager Mike Jirschele said of Herrera. "Along with his curveball and offspeed pitches, he was able to throw with command. That's one thing you don't see a lot, as far as a guy that throws like he does ... the stuff, with above average pitches that he has, and ... the command of it." Herrera made his MLB debut on Sept. 21, capping his breakout season. Despite finishing 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA in his two innings of work in the majors, Herrera made a ton of waves in the Royals' organization. Fantasy owners should view Herrera as a low-end pitching option in leagues that value true middle men, but the 21-year-old is worth keeping tabs on in case he becomes a closer-type pitcher.
