Newsbreakers
September 26, 2009
Marlins rookie Sean West earned his eighth win of the season on Saturday by scattering three runs (two earned) on seven hits over five innings. He fanned two and did not walk a batter in the 9-6 win over the Mets.
Our View:
West has been inconsistent this season. He looked like a real find in August with a 3-1 record and 2.77 ERA, but has gone 2-1 with a noticeably worse 6.85 ERA in September. Tread with caution.
September 20, 2009
Sean West was ineffective on Sunday, allowing five runs in just 4.1 innings, as Florida lost 8-1 in Cincinnati.
Our View:
West now has just one quality outing in his past four appearances. He isn't worth the risk to spot-start with fantasy playoffs underway.
September 15, 2009
Sean West held a potent Cardinal offense to just one run on six hits and three walks over nine innings on Tuesday. He fanned nine and earned his seventh win in the 2-1 nail-biter.
Our View:
The nine Ks was a career high for the Marlins rookie and the Cardinals looked flat-out lost against his off-speed stuff. He left his last start with a sprained ankle, but it in no way hampered his performance tonight.
September 11, 2009
Sean West says he will make his next scheduled start on Tuesday after having to be removed in the fifth inning on Thursday with a sprained ankle, according to MLBLogs.com.
Our View:
With West sporting a 4.81 ERA through 17 starts this season, don't expect the team to rush him back to start on Tuesday. In his past two outings, he is 0-0 with an 11.57 ERA.
September 4, 2009
Sean West got pounded by the Nats on Friday, but his offense bailed him out as the Marlins won the game 9-6. West lasted only three innings and allowed five runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out four. He did not factor into the decision.
Our View:
West had been solid in his last two starts, but he reverted back to his previous self in this outing. He has been very inconsistent this season, and it would be wise to stay away from him fantasy-wise for the rest of the season.
August 30, 2009
Sean West was outstanding on Sunday as the Marlins got a big win against the Padres by a score of 6-4. West went six innings and allowed three runs (only one earned) on seven hits while walking two and striking out seven.
Our View:
West has made a couple of very solid starts in a row, and the Marlins need him to give them a chance every time he takes the hill. He is doing that as of late, and if it continues the Marlins will be in much better shape.
August 25, 2009
Sean West was solid on Tuesday as the Marlins beat the Mets 2-1. West went six innings and allowed one run on six hits while walking three and striking out two.
Our View:
The Fish needed a solid performance from West tonight, and they got it. He has been anything but consistent this season, but the Marlins can stay in the race if they can get outing like this from West.
August 19, 2009
Sean West lasted only four innings and picked up the loss on Wednesday as the Marlns fell to the Astros 6-3. West allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits while striking out two.
Our View:
West has not been great in the rotation this season, and he showed why tonight. He doesn't go deep into games, and the bullpen really suffers on most nights h pitches. It looks like he will remain in the rotation, but he is not a good fantasy play.
August 13, 2009
Sean West allowed just one run in six innings on Thursday night, helping the Marlins win 7-2 and take three of four games from the Astros in Miami.
Our View:
West picked up his first win since June 25 in the process. He had allowed 18 runs in his last starts, and should be started with extreme caution.
August 6, 2009
According to the Palm Beach Post, the Marlins are expected to call up Double-A left-hander Sean West to start against the Phillies on Saturday.
Our View:
The Marlins won't officially name a starter until Friday, but it seems likely that they'll go with West. He's been hot in the minors, going 3-0 in his last three starts and striking out 12 against just two walks in 18 innings. West was sent down on July 11th after struggling in three consecutive starts with the Marlins, and it's probably best to see what kind of stuff he brings Saturday before considering picking him up for fantasy play.
July 12, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that the Marlins have optioned starter Sean West to Double-A Jacksonville. West has struggled in his last three outings, including Saturday night when he lasted only 4.2 innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks.
Our View:
This move isn't a complete surprise, as the 23-year-old obviously has some things he needs to work on. He is still young, and he has shown a ton of promise this season, but right now it would be wise to stay away from him in all fantasy leagues, even if he does return to the rotation in the coming weeks.
July 11, 2009
Sean West was roughed up for five earned runs on nine hits over 4.2 innings in Saturday's 5-1 loss at Arizona. He issued four walks with one strikeout.
Our View:
West falls to 3-4 and his ERA climbs to 4.91. He has surrendered five earned runs in each of his last three starts, and the rookie is not fit for fantasy duty right now.
July 6, 2009
Sean West gave up five runs off four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in six innings against the Giants on Monday, falling to 3-3 on the year.
Our View:
West was great initially upon entering Florida's rotation in May but has struggled since, and there no longer appears much of a reason to own the 6-foot-8 lefty.
June 30, 2009
Sean West was rocked for five earned runs on eight hits over a mere 4.1 innings in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Nationals. He had three walks and two strikeouts. The game was called after seven innings due to rain.
Our View:
West had a terrible outing against one of the worst teams in the majors, and is lucky he ends the night with a no-decision rather than a win. West has given up five earned runs in two of his last three starts, and the rookie should remain an unstable fantasy option.
June 25, 2009
After getting roughed up by the Yankees in his last start, rookie Sean West rebounded on Thursday, going six innings and allowing no runs as the Marlins vanquished the Orioles 11-3.
Our View:
West isn't quite worthy of a roster spot yet, but he is a top flight spot starter, and could earn a roster spot in most leagues by the All-Star break should he continue to pitch well.
June 19, 2009
Sean West was rocked for five earned runs on 10 hits over a mere four innings of work in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees at home. He had two walks and seven strikeouts.
Our View:
The rookie has given up nine earned runs over his last two starts, and carries a 4.91 ERA over four outings in June. He should only be considered for NL-only leagues for his next trip to the hill.
June 13, 2009
Sean West picked up his second straight win on Saturday as the Marlins outlasted the Blue Jays 6-5. West went 5.2 innings and allowed four runs on four hits while walking four. He did not strike out a batter.
Our View:
West didn't have his best stuff today, but it was good enough to pick up the win. The offense gave him plenty of support, and sometimes you need to be more lucky than good at the major league level. West is not a strong fantasy option, but desperate managers in NL-only leagues could give him a look.
June 8, 2009
Sean West was in command on the hill in Monday's 4-0 win over the Giants, as he only allowed two hits over eight scoreless innings. He had one walk with six strikeouts.
Our View:
West claimed his first win over four starts, and trimmed his ERA to 2.22. He allowed two or less earned runs in three of those four games, and is worth scooping up if still dangling on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
May 30, 2009
Manager Fredi Gonzalez has been really impressed by rookie pitcher Sean West, according to the Miami Herald. The 6-foot-8 West allowed only four hits and a run over seven innings against the Mets on Friday and there is speculation that he could remain in the rotation even once Anibal Sanchez and Ricky Nolasco are ready to return.
Our View:
West has not gotten a decision in either of his two starts, but he does boast a 2.25 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He has struck seven and walked five in 12 innings. He is probably worth taking a flier on in NL-only formats.
May 29, 2009
Sean West was very good in his second Major League start on Friday, but again didn't earn a decision as the Marlins fell to the Mets 2-1 in 11 innings. For his part he lasted seven innings and allowed just one run on four hits and a walk.
Our View:
West has been good since his call-up from the minors and will likely stick around for a little while if he continues to pitch effectively. The Marlins are hurting in the SP department, so they can use him right now. Beware of other starters getting healthy and forcing him out down the road though.
May 23, 2009
Sean West was not bad in his first big league start of his career, giving up two runs off four hits and four runs with five strikeouts in five innings of work, failing to factor into the decision against the Rays.
Our View:
The Marlins are thin in their starting rotation at the moment, so West will stick in the rotation for the immediate future as long as he continues to post respectable outings. Still, the 6-foot-8, 22-year-old's long-term value this season remains limited as it's unlikely he'll be able to hold on to a starting spot all year long.
May 23, 2009
Sean West has been recalled from Double-A Jacksonville by the Marlins, according to TSN. The club optioned struggling starter Ricky Nolasco to Triple-A New Orleans as the adjoining move.
Our View:
West is slated to start tonight's game against Tampa Bay. He was 4-2 at Jacksonville, and is only worth a look as a flier for deeper NL-only leagues.
February 26, 2009
Sean West is nursing a minor left hip ailment, according to FishBytes.com.
Our View:
He was initially scheduled to start Friday's game against Baltimore. He is viewed as a longshot to make the Marlins' rotation, and cannot afford to miss much time.
