I'm a bit surprised that I feel the need to talk about Andrew Cashner, but after a start of 7.0 IP, 1 ER, 6 Hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks, I can see the tilted heads and curious eyes. Nick! He has a 3.17 ERA this season! Alright alright, trivia time! What is the lowest number of the following four stats? Which is the highest? K/9, BB/9, FIP, xFIP. Go on, take your time. Lowest = K/9 (3.99!). Highest = xFIP (5.42 pitching in Arlington!). With a 4.13 BB/9 and 4.65 FIP. Holy smokes that's a TEEs alright and you want nothing to do with Cashner. Seriously. Sidenote: We're designing a few shirts (Aces Gonna Ace, Cup of Schmo, Don't Trust A Knuckleballer) to put on sale hopefully by the All-Star break and we're brainstorming for a TEEs design for - obviously - a T-Shirt. Any ideas? Leave it in the comments and it could be on a shirt!

    Hey Nick,

    Looking for someone to drop Triggs for, who do you like best: Clevinger (i could afford to wait), Lackey, Delgado, Perdomo or Hoffman? I know the List right now says Clevinger, but I don’t know if that will change on Monday. Thanks!

    • Nick Pollack says:

      That will definitely change on Monday as Clev is in the minors (albeit, I expect him back this time next weekend for the Twins).

      I’d roll with Hoffman short term, but have a short leash if he doesn’t get his next start after today.

    • Nick Pollack says:

      I just saw “you can afford to wait”, which has me leaning Clev if Hoffman doesn’t stick in the rotation, FWIW.

  2. Love the site! Been using it for a few weeks that I found it randomly searching for old school pitching gifs.
    Gotta have a shirt with “It’s his Birthday Party” and a pitcherlist logo.

    12-Team redraft weekly lineup Roto (W/K/QS/ERA/WHIP) with move limits. Should I drop E Rodriguez and Peacock for either Jordan Montgomery or Hoffman and Biagini? Have Kluber, Carrasco, Manaea, Matz, Taillon, Odorizzi, Godley, Matt Bush too. Site is required daily visit. Thanks for all the work.

    • Nick Pollack says:

      I’d try to grab all three of Hoffman, Monty, and Biagini. You can drop Peacock, Odorizzi, and Erod for them.

      Glad you enjoy what we do here!
