De La Rosa (0-1) lasted only 3.1 innings Thursday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs (six earned) on six hits, three walks and a hit batsman.
Well, that's a rough start to the year. At least after surrendering a whopping 32 homers last season, De La Rosa was able to keep the ball in the park Thursday, but that's an awfully thin silver lining. Although he has some strikeout upside, De La Rosa's much too blowup-prone to trust in most fantasy formats. It wouldn't be surprising to see him get displaced from the rotation at some point this season.
