Last week I dropped Carlos Carrasco a few spots because he just wasn't living up to the incredible FIP/xFIP numbers he had been expressing all year.  I did it with a heavy heart, but felt I had no choice.  Since then he's had back-to-back nine inning performances including last night's 9.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 1 BBs, 7 Ks. Better late than never, and it's all going Carrasco's way right now, reducing his hard contact allowed immensely in his last three games.  He'll be jumping up like you did as an owner in next week's ranking unless he does a complete 180 against the Twins on Sunday, which is more doubtful than Yordano Ventura being a mature adult.
