There have been a ton of call ups this year - it's the nature of a SPOIL'D season - and last night gave us Andrew Moore for the Mariners who dazzled with a 7.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks against the Tigers. Is he a Spice Girl? Should I be running to the wire to get him? Here's the low-down: He's a finesse arm that can be sneaky with command to elevate with his heater well and miss some bats with his Slider. His minor league numbers dictate a low walk total and about a 6.50 - 7.00 K/9. That's not something I want to bank on as I only like to make Three-Fists Compromises with pitchers who have a good track record of keeping their ERA/WHIP low in the majors. If I'm chasing a new arm, I want it to be a proper lottery ticket that can make a huge impact for my team and not with a ceiling of a Top 50 arm.

Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:

    Love the content, Nick. Thanks for doing this day-in, day-out. It’s one of the most enjoyable fantasy assets on the Interwebs!

    I’m in a points league with a heavy value in SP who can start in my RP slots.

    I have Nova, Bundy, and Peacock, but I really want Godley. Should I drop one of them, cut ties on a SP (Tanaka / Cole), or watch leave him on the wire?

    • Nick Pollack says:

      Really close across the board there.

      Bundy has more upside than Nova, but Nova might be slightly better floor wise. Peacock has K potential, but his time is limited.

      Tanaka/Cole I think you hold tight with.

      I’d say drop Peacock if you need long term help. Drop Nova otherwise.

    What about Tyler Chatwood at LAD tomorrow as a streamer? His home/road splits are insane!

    Chances Taillon goes more than 5 innings tonight?

  5. David says:

    You know last year during his great stretch Nola was throwing like 90-92. Or am I forgetting the +1MPH statcast thing?

    • Nick Pollack says:

      I’m not seeing the velocity difference. Looks like he’s doing the same thing this year that he did last season.

      (Actually, identical 92.6mph for both 2016 and 2017 according to Pitch Info).

    Trade Darvish and LeMahieu for Greinke? Need wins, ERA and WHIP. Set at 2b with Gordon.

  7. Scott says:

    4×4 roto format (no strikeouts). Where would you rank Nova?

  8. Max says:

    How do you feel about Bauer vs Min today?

  9. David Colasurdo says:

    My league is super deep so forgive me if this list is the same names that always come out… however ROS, Morton, L.Weaver, Karns, Biagini, Gausman, Rodon, H.Bailey, Strahm, Guerra, Volquez? Looking for 1-2 of these guys to add for 2nd half steals! Do you mind ranking them? I know a few of them are still hurt, but let’s say they weren’t hurt!
