Framber Valdez: 13-9, 3.57 ERA,1.35 WHIP

Despite the decent record projected for Framber Valdez, this is a regression for someone who went 11-6 with a 3.14 ERA in 2021. There is some good news in that the projections show 3.65 walks per nine innings after Valdez walked 3.9 in 2021 and sits at 4.1 per nine innings over his career.
