All this talk has me interested. Eflin is one of the hot pickups on Yahoo WW, right after Strahm, Paddack, and Wacha. Strahm is another one moving up my board.

All the coaching in the world can't teach "stuff", they can only help the pitcher control where and when to throw it. If Eflin figures it all out---------------

Strahm is another pick-up I managed to get. I have high hopes for him this year.
I definitely had him pegged as a reserve round guy, but it seems a lot of other Junkies are more optimistic. Then again, I'm an Eickhoff guy, but they can both succeed if Velasquez ends up in the 'pen, which is still a thing that can happen. More likely Eickhoff starts the year at AAA to finish stretching out, and waits for an opportunity.
He's definitely an endgame pick. As you say, Eickhoff going forward but am not so much March and April. Either way, when the first injury hits both Eickhoff and Eflin will be in the rotation.

I've started to see Eflin on a lot of "sleeper" lists lately. Many of his underlying metrics point to him having some really bad luck last year, and there are some advance metrics that would say that he should be in the same "sleeper" conversation that people keep having about Pivetta.
He is definitely an endgame pick if he can be snagged for under $5. He is a keeper for $5 in the 12TO league. In my other NL league he is $7 but I don't think the owner will keep him.
Eflin's 2018 xwOBA (Baseball Savant) was .292 which would've put him in the range of Berrios, Freeland, and Carlos Martinez. Was happy to get him for a buck in my 8-team NL.
Zach Eflin struck out four and held the Yankees to two runs in 4 1/3 innings in Grapefruit league action on Wednesday.
He surrendered an RBI-single to Luke Voit in the first inning and let in another run when Brett Gardner lifted a sacrifice fly to plate Greg Bird in the second frame. Eflin has been on top of his game throughout the spring circuit and now owns a sparkling 2.70 ERA through 10 innings in three starts. The 24-year-old could be poised to improve upon his 11-8 record and 4.36 ERA in 24 starts last year.-RotoWorld
