What It Means:

Luzardo was expected to make the Athletics' rotation out of camp, so the 21-year-old southpaw could provide value for prospective owners after the late start.

Luzardo recorded a 2.88 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 129 strikeouts and 30 walks across 109 1/3 innings last season while going 10-5 in 23 starts.
