Niemann's efficiency should involve him in plenty of decisions, and he's a serviceable option at the back end of your fantasy rotation. 12-0-4.25-1.35-135 in 185 IP.
Positives / Upside Niemann came into his own last season, winning 13 games while posting a strong 3.94 ERA. He led all rookies in innings pitched, and solidified a spot in the rotation for 2010. Fantasy-wise, his inning-eater style gives him a good chance for a decision in most of his starts, and the Rays' improved bullpen should help convert some of those quality starts into wins. 14-0-3.85-1.28-135 in 200 IP.
Negatives / Downside Niemann is not a strikeout pitcher, and can be hit - hard - on nights when his command isn't sharp. His ERA jumped four-tenths of a point in the second half -- not a good sign for a rookie pitcher. 9-0-4.45-1.40-105 in 150 IP.
Recommendation Buy at cost
Draft Position 300
