Astros Sign Doug Fister

The Astros have announced the signing of righty Doug Fister to a one-year
deal. The PSI Sports Management client will receive a $7MM guarantee in the
contract, which includes incentives that can boost its total value to $12MM,
Chris Cotillo of SB Nation tweets.

Heading into the winter, MLBTR’s Tim Dierkes predicted a one-year pact in
the $10MM range for the towering right-hander. While he falls shy of that, in
terms of guarantee, Dierkes rightly pegged Houston as the landing spot.

It’s easy to see the appeal for an Astros club that has plenty of rotation
options, but still carried some uncertainty. Fister will presumably slot in
at the back of the staff. With Scott Feldman facing some injury uncertainty,
the new addition will likely join an Opening Day rotation that could feature
Dallas Keuchel, Collin McHugh, Mike Fiers, and youngster Lance McCullers Jr.

Fister, who’ll soon turn 32, is a classic bounceback candidate. After
several strong years in Detroit, he put up a stellar 2.41 ERA over 164 frames
in 2014, his first season with the Nationals. But things took a turn south
last year, as he dealt with injury issues and lost his rotation spot after he
was tagged for a 4.60 ERA and .302/.341/.471 batting line in 15 starts.

Though he showed better form working out of the pen, there are some concerns
that extend beyond the results. Fister has never been reliant on velocity,
but his average sinker lost 1.7 ticks in dropping all the way to 86.1 mph in
2015. Typically a reliable groundball producer, Fister induced grounders on
just 44.6% of the balls put in play against him.

Fister also allowed home runs at a much higher rate than usual in his final
season in D.C. And while he’s never been a strikeout pitcher, his 5.5 K/9
against 2.1 BB/9 represented the worst K:BB ratio he’s logged since his
debut season. Advanced metrics have always lagged results for the veteran,
but they were especially down on him last year. He ended up with a 4.55 FIP,
4.46 xFIP, and 4.47 SIERA to accompany the 4.19 ERA that he tallied over his
103 total frames.

Of course, Fister battled through a forearm strain to open the year, which
could go a long way towards explaining his struggles. If he can build up in
camp at full strength, it isn’t hard to imagine that he might return to
being a quality rotation piece — even if it would be a bit optimistic to
expect a repeat of that 2014 effort. While he hasn’t always put up huge
innings tallies, Fister has generally been rather durable over his career,
and the Astros will surely hope he can fill up some frames with
average-or-better run prevention numbers in 2016.
