When the Milwaukee Brewers aqcuired Chase Anderson over the winter as a part of the Jean Segura/Tyler Wagner deal, it appeared as though they were getting a ready-made fifth starter for their major league rotation. The right hander had made 48 starts for Arizona during the previous two seasons, posting a cumulative 4.18 ERA and nearly matching 4.17 FIP across 267.0 innings pitched, along with a 216:80 K/BB rate. Anderson dealt with a minor injury last season but after he returned, he had gained a couple ticks on his average fastball up to 93 MPH and saw a subsequent jump in his strikeout rate (22% from August through the end of the season) leading to some whispers that he might even be potential breakout candidate coming into 2016.
