Detroit Tigers RHP Michael Fulmer won the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2016, finishing 10th in Cy Young voting in the process. However, it really was not an awesome statistical season and fantasy baseball managers who invested for the long-term probably should not have done so with confidence. Oh, Fulmer's 3.06 ERA certainly shined in his first season, but his strikeout rate was rather ordinary -- and that shiny ERA predictably rose the next season to 3.83, which was far more in line with his skills. After that, he really struggled and then came the Tommy John surgery. It wasn't long before everyone forgot about Michael Fulmer.
