Nationals starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang is close to pitching to live hitters again. This is a good sign for the former Cy Young candidate and fantasy owners will be watching him carefully. However, it is unlikely he will regain his old form after undergoing shoulder surgery and a move from the Yankees to the Nationals is certain to hurt his chances of having any fantasy impact.
Wang racked up the wins in New York but that was all he would rack up. Even during his most dominant seasons he offered little fantasy value and was barely a top 50 pitcher.
Best case scenario for Wang in 2010 is a half season on the mound with a 4.50 era, 5 wins and 50 strikeouts. Coming off 2 injury filled seasons and shoulder surgery he is clearly not worth the risk even in the deepest of leagues.
