Nolasco's inflated ERA of a season ago should hold his draft day price down, and that's a good thing -- for we believe the Marlins' right-hander is in for a fine season in 2010. 15-0-3.85-1.20-200 in 210 IP

Positives / Upside	Nolasco overcame a bumpy start by finishing 2009 with a flourish, posting a 7-2 record, 4.39 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in the second half -- while striking out 105 batters in 97.1 innings of work. Nolasco's 195 strikeouts was the seventh-best K total in the National league, and more of the same should be in store for 2010. 18-0-3.60-1.18-210 in 215 IP
Negatives / Downside	If "more of the same" includes another ERA of five-plus, then count us out. Even when he was going well last season, Nolasco was maddeningly inconsistent -- mixing strings of quality starts with occasional implosions. We need to see more before investing an extra dollar in Nolasco. 10-0-4.30-1.25-180 in 190 IP
