Every Friday I look at every projected two-start pitcher for the week ahead and detail my thoughts about rolling with them on your roster. There are four tiers: Definitely, Probably, Questionable, Bench. Definitely Start features starters that are no doubters for the week ahead followed by Probably Start with pitchers that look like good plays but may create a hesitation or two. Players labeled as Questionable are for deeper leagues or have one-of-two outings that should be skipped. Pitchers under Bench should be avoided despite their two starts in the week ahead.
Definitely Start
Jacob deGrom (@SDP, @SEA)
Gerrit Cole (@SFG, @SDP)
James Paxton (BOS, NYM)
Jose Berrios (@LAD, @OAK)
Zack Greinke (ATL, @STL)
Yahoo is projecting a 5-man rotation, with Clevinger as the odd man out, lining up Carrasco for Tuesday (LAA) and Sunday (@CWS) starts. If that happens, then he’s a “definitely,” right?
If that happens, definitely.
I’d really hate that though.
