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
Clayton Kershaw (@SFG, PHI)
Chris Archer (@BAL, @TOR)
Madison Bumgarner (LAD, SDP)
Julio Teheran (@NYM, @MIL)
Stephen Strasburg (@COL, NYM)
Dallas Keuchel (@CLE, OAK)
Zack Greinke (SDP, COL)
Have 3 two start guys going next week, Vargas, Wacha and Gsellman. You have Gsellman over Wacha. Wacha has 2 starts at home, one v Toronto, with no DH and spiraling into oblivion. Gsellman has to go into our nations capital for one. Would you pass on any of my one start set and forget guys ( Max, Sale and Duffy@ CHW) to find a place for anyone of my third 2 start pitchers?
Drop Folty for Neris in a 6×6 dynasty roto league with QS? Could use some saves. Here is my current staff:
Verlander
Fulmer
Cole
Maeda
Ray
Pineda
Folty
Gsellman
Triggs
Giolito
Chapman
A Miller
Bush
Thanks!
Will you be posting an update considering the losses for this week?
Wasn’t planning on it, but I wouldn’t be starting Bumgarner’s replacement in standard leagues, maayyybe against the Padres if he impresses me against the Dodgers (which is unlikely).
Otherwise, not much to update unless I’m forgetting someone.. Just nix Strasburg since he’s missing one start.
