Wainwright is a legit fantasy ace. He is in his prime, and while it may be asking too much for him to repeat his 2.63 ERA from 2010, another fantastic season can all but be assured. He tends to get less attenition that some of the other fantasy aces, making him an ever better target on draft day. 18-0-3.10-1.25-200 in 210 IP

Positives / Upside	Wainwright enjoyed the best year of his career in 2009, setting career highs in wins and strikeouts, while posting the best ERA of his career. He clearly is a a top level ace. At only 28, he has a number of Cy Young quality years ahead of him. 18-0-2.90-1.20-220 in 230 IP
Negatives / Downside	Despite the drop in ERA last season, Wanwight's WHIP climbed from 1.18 in 2008 to 1.21 last season. Usually WHIP and ERA travel up or down together, not in opposite directions, so there is reason to believe that a jump in his ERA is likely in 2010. 15-0-3.40-1.30-180 in 190 IP
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	54
