I'm skeptical of his walks. At both AA and AAA they were very high initially before he adapted to that league. I'm letting him go, seeing if he hits some rough spots early on like he has before causing his owners to drop him, then I'll look at him later.
Odorizzi, Hutchison and Bauer (minors) are all rostered. Not quite feeling "Maholm-crazy" just yet.Odorizzi has a Toronto team down two of their three big bats. Hutchinson gets Tampa, who hasn't been able to hit the broad side of the barn for months. Apparently Bauer is only 2% owned and gets the White Sox at home. If you're feeling real crazy, Maholm gets the Pads at home at night.I need to pickup a couple starters after losing Tanaka and Estrada this week. The usual dreck is available on the wire. Chris Young, Bart Colon, Volquez, Vogelsong, Collmenter, Gibson, Miley, Danks, etc. Anyone like any of these guys or have their eyes on another up-and-comer? Its a keeper league with a ML roster, so none of the decent prospects are available.
Otherwise I'd wait until the All Star break and see what rotations are looking like post break.
Since it looks like your waivers only run weekly may be best to just back burner until next week. Most of the guys you're looking at probably won't be pitching next weekend anyway. The top 3 guys in the rotation will go first in most cases. May want to check on matchups for teams with lousy rotations since they're more likely to go.Odorizzi, Hutchison and Bauer (minors) are all rostered.

This is kinda been Niese's M.O. Meh K's, meh ratios, bad team, can't stay healthy. His skills actually look worse on the surface, so his ERA looks due for a correction. His swgstrk and o swing have bottomed out yet his o contact is high. Low ERA is being carried by a low HR/FB and BABIP despite LD/GB/FB all being steady. Doesn't add up.
His curve ball has been working this year. I think he's a better bet to be closer to last year (less K's, more hits against) in the second half, but if you're battered and beaten by injuries Charlie Morton 2013 is not a terrible thing. Probably gotta offset the K's with MR's though.
he gone (if you were referring to me, if not, sorry, just wanted to write it in my hawk voice)
I was referring to you. I'm in a similar situation (####ty pitching) and have been scouring the wire as well.
Yet another reason to have this clown on your pay no mind list.....
pick an arbitrary date troll is my favorite kind of troll
28 days is what Baseball Ref has readily available, so it's what I used. Sorry it flies in the face of your barn theory.You go ahead and worry about April and May. I'm sure your lineup each day reflects what happened 2-3 months ago as opposed to recent trends.
Mrs. Limp is afraid to start anyone vs. that murderer's row? Say it ain't so...
tomlin is a completely different pitcher with that post TJ curve, still too gopher prone though.

I particularly like the second where Mac notes that he thinks Axford should get more rope, then makes it his idea that Allen got the job. But everyone else is a moron.

Dropped when the timeline was 6-8. Not running out to re-roster him again.

depends on who it's for. If he gets healthy again a repeat is likely. Or it could just be like post April Morse last year. I benched him a couple weeks ago in one and traded him in another a month ago. Stuck starting him in my other until pollock comes back or i find something on waivers.
The former is a headache. The latter just isn't any good. If I really need an arm I'm adding the headache, but if you don't staying away may be best. When he's on he can be elite. The problem is his off and injury switches are turned on too often.
Aside from his recent success, Miley wasn't even on my radar until I read that Arizona has told potential trade teams he's unavailable. What the hell do they know that we don't?
the same team that traded away Jarrod Parker, Trevor Bauer, Ian Kennedy, Justin Upton, etc although they do have new mgmt now.
Those are the keys. If it was old mgmt it'd be easy to explain, they don't know what they're doing.
