5. Framber Valdez, Astros SP, age 32 (4)

Only three pitchers have a chance to reach 175 innings this season for the fourth straight year: these two dudes and Logan Webb. As Gerrit Cole’s and Aaron Nola’s injuries have reminded us this year, past durability does not guarantee future durability. With that said, teams value arms such as Valdez and Cease quite highly. Valdez’s 3.02 ERA across this four-year stretch makes him flat-out one of the best arms in the league. Cease’s surface-level numbers this year are ugly, but the combo of strikeout stuff and availability will earn him a nice deal.
