Jeff Locke is ready to put his disappointing finish to the 2013 season behind him, and strives to regain a spot in the Pirates starting rotation this spring. After a fantastic start to the season that found Locke being named to his first NL All-Star team, the wheels completely fell of the train for him in late-July. Over his final 10 starts, he posted a horrifying 7.25 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 37/27 K/BB ratio over 44 2/3 innings of work. If he can regain his control, he does have underlying upside in strikeouts, but it's difficult to trust his inconsistency.
