Paddack hits a rough patch … Chris Paddack (RHP, SD) enjoyed a terrific rookie season in 2019, boasting a 3.33 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 141 IP. That performance catapulted him to a 48 ADP heading into 2020, but it’s been a disappointing run thus far, as he owns a 5.15 ERA through 37 IP. What’s going on here?
