I had Tyler Lyons listed as a lottery ticket in the pre-season rankings, and while he hasn't gotten much time on the hill, Lyons can be a producer if given the innings.  Last night he went 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 Hits, 1 BBs, 6 Ks , which is a QS for stupid reasons, but is still kinda decent.  He'll hang around this middling line, which could be a nice extra push for some of you in the playoffs.  In his four starts he holds a 9.61 K/9, a 3.59 xFIP, and a 28.2% soft contact rate, which is a lot better than you were expecting.  He's pretty much untouched across the board - owned in only 0.2% of ESPN leagues - which means that he could be a sneaky add than subliminal messages during Saturday morning cartoons.  He'll probably get one or two more starts this season and if you follow closely you could get that value all for yourself.
