Newsbreakers
October 3, 2009
Ross Detwiler tossed five shutout innings on Saturday against the Braves and allowed just one hit while he was on the mound. He did however walk four and failed to earn a decision in the 6-4 win.
Our View:
Detwiler has allowed just one run over 11 innings in his last two outings and may be a candidate for next year's rotation. His stuff is unquestionable, but the young lefty has had trouble harnessing it this season. He's 1-6 with a 5.00 ERA in 14 starts this year.
September 28, 2009
Ross Detwiler only issued one earned run on seven hits over six innings in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets at Nationals Park. He had one walk and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Detwiler was in control tonight, and earned his first career win over 13 starts. He allowed one or less earned runs in two of his last three starts.
September 23, 2009
Ross Detwiler scattered three runs over 5.2 innings on Wednesday, taking a no-decision as Washington beat Los Angeles 5-4 at home.
Our View:
The no-decision means Detwiler is still winless after 12 starts in 2009. At only age 23, the lefty will surely be given a chance to crack the rotation in 2010.
September 17, 2009
Ross Detwiler was solid on Thursday, allowing just one run in five innings, but got out-dueled by a rejuvenated Cole Hamels, as the Phillies beat the Nats 4-2 in Philadelphia.
Our View:
The start dropped Detwiler to 0-6 on the season. In 59 innings in 2009, he now has a 5.80 ERA.
September 15, 2009
MLB.com reports that left-hander Ross Detwiler will get the start on Thursday against the Phillies.
Our View:
Detwiler was originally slated to pitch out of the bullpen due to the fact that he's close to his innings limit, but the Nats want him to get two more starts before the season ends. Washington's former number one pick is tremendously talented, but has yet to put it together this season. He's 0-5 with a 6.17 ERA and is irrelevant in fantasy leagues now, but expect a bright future. He'll be a nice target next year for three-year keeper leagues.
September 8, 2009
Ross Detwiler has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
Our View:
Detwiler was 0-5 with a 6.40 ERA in ten starts earlier this season, and there is little reason to believe he will be any better down the stretch.
July 13, 2009
Ross Detwiler has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, according to MLBlogs.com.
Our View:
Detwiler had given up at least five earned runs in each of his last three starts. He has a lot to work on, and should not be considered in any format for the time being.
July 8, 2009
Ross Detwiler stayed winless on Wednesday, pitching just four innings and allowing six earned runs as the Rockies hammered the Nationals 10-4 in Denver.
Our View:
Put simply, Detwiler isn't a good pitcher right now, and only worthy of an own in very deep keeper leagues.
July 3, 2009
Ross Detwiler was creamed by the Braves on Friday. The rookie allowed five runs on ten hits and two walks over just 3.1 innings. He struck out one hitter as the Nationals fell 9-8.
Our View:
Detwiler is a tremendously talented young pitcher, but he hasn't put it all together yet. Expect him to be an ace a couple years down the road, but this season he is far from fantasy worthy.
June 26, 2009
Ross Detwiler was assaulted for five earned runs on nine hits over five innings in Friday's 11-1 loss at Baltimore. He had two walks and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Detwiler remains winless at 0-4, and his already poor ERA climbs to 5.24. He has a future with Washington, but is not fit for fantasy duty outside of deeper leagues right now.
June 20, 2009
Ross Detwiler had a very solid outing on Saturday, but he did not factor into the decision as the Nationals beat the Blue Jays in 12 innings. Detwiler went seven innings and allowed two runs on six hits while walking one and striking out three.
Our View:
Detwiler has been wildly inconsistent thus far in his rookie season, but he has shown the Nats that he has the ability to pitch at this level. His fantasy value is slim, but fantasy owners should remember his name for future fantasy baseball seasons.
June 4, 2009
Ross Detwiler was rocked for four earned runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Giants at Nationals Park in the nightcap of their doubleheader. He had one walk and five strikeouts. The game was called in the sixth inning due to rain.
Our View:
Detwiler remains winless over four starts with Washington, and allowed nine earned runs over his last two. The Nationals' top prospect is not fit for fantasy duty yet.
May 29, 2009
Ross Detwiler did not fare so well in his third start of the season. He received his first major league decision, but it came in the form of a loss after he surrendered five runs on ten hits and a walk over just four innings to the Phillies.
Our View:
The Nationals' highly touted prospect was very good in his first two starts, but was victimized by a merciless offense on Friday. He has loads of potential though and if he bounces back in his next outing could see some consistent innings this season. If he struggles again the Nats may be forced to send him back down for more conditioning.
May 23, 2009
Ross Detwiler had another great start against Baltimore on Saturday, giving up one run off just one hit and four walks while striking out four in six innings.
Our View:
Unfortunately, the 23-year-old was unable to factor into the decision, something Washington pitchers have become all too accustomed to. Still, he's been great in his two starts filling in for the injured Scott Olsen and should stick in Washington's rotation until he gives them a reason to remove him.
May 19, 2009
According to the Washington Post, Ross Detwiler will get another start for the Nationals.
Our View:
Looks like Detwiler made enough of an impression on Monday to stick around for a bit. He's filling in for the ailing Scott Olsen and has loads of talent, but until recently hadn't had much of a chance to show it off. He's a great grab for keeper leagues, but is on a start to start basis this season and likely won't stay with the big club for an extended period of time.
May 18, 2009
Ross Detwiler was impressive in his first career start on Monday, but his team fell to the Pirates 12-7. Detwiler went five innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits while not walking a batter and striking out six.
Our View:
The Nats couldn't have asked for much more from Detwiler tonight. He made one mistake, which led to a three-run homer by Craig Monroe, but other than that he was very good. This kid has a bright future in this league, but expect him to be sent back down after this start.
May 17, 2009
Ross Detwiler has been recalled by the Nationals from Double-A, according to TSN. Scott Olsen was placed on the 15-day DL as the adjoining move.
Our View:
He is expected to start Monday, but was not pitching well in Double-A. The former first-round pick is only worth a look as a flier for deeper NL-only leagues.
May 16, 2009
Ross Detwiler is expected to be called up to start Monday for the Washington Nationals, according to the Washington Post. Detwiler was the team's first round pick out of Missouri State in the 2007 draft.
Our View:
Detwiler, the St. Louis native, will be making his first big league start on Monday for the Nats. He is a big-time prospect but he is probably not ready for the show just yet. He was 0-3 with a 2.96 ERA in Double-A this season, so he has no fantasy value at this point.
March 10, 2009
The Nationals optioned Ross Detwiler to Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Nothing unexpected here, as the 23-year-old was not expected to make Washington's initial 2009 roster. Detwiler, the team's first-round pick in 2007, could contend for a late-season callup if he pitches effectively throughout most of the year in the minors.
