Player Notes

March 28, 2009
The Nationals sent Collin Balester down to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, according to the Washington Post.

Our View:There was a three-man race for two spots in Washington and, unfortunately for Balester, Shairon Martis and Jordan Zimmerman won out. Balester, 22, still has potential this season and will likely be the first to be called upon if and when one of Washington's five starters struggles or gets hurt, though he's certainly not worth owning until that scenario rises.

March 20, 2009
Collin Balester was roughed up by the Tigers on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits in just four innings.

Our View:Balester won just three of his 15 starts a season ago and ended 2008 with a 5.51 ERA. He will provide limited fantasy value, however, in NL-only leagues, even if he cracks the 2009 rotation.

September 25, 2008
Collin Balester's start against the Marlins on Thursday was cancelled. The game will not be made up and it's not certain if he will start tomorrow.

Our View:Balester is 3-6 with a 4.83 ERA this season. He will be given the opportunity to make the Nationals' 2009 rotation.

September 14, 2008
Collin Balester was at his best on Sunday as he held the Marlins to just one run over 6.2 innings. On the afternoon, Collin allowed four hits, walked three, and struck out five.

Our View:Balester doesn't strike out many batters at 5.52 K/9, and his K/BB is poor (1.67), so only target him if you are in need of innings in an NL-only league, and even then he isn't a great play.

August 31, 2008
Washington Nationals pitcher Collin Balester went seven innings for his squad, giving up four earned runs and striking out five, but getting a no-decision in the team's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Our View:Balester is an average pitcher who won't offer fantasy owners much, unless they are in deep NL-only leagues.
