This is going to be a quick opener today because we're talking about Tyler Anderson and his startling 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 6 Hits, 1 BBs, 10 Ks against the Diamondbacks inside Coors last night. Some may look at this outing, remember Anderson's surprisingly good mediocre 2016 and think "huh, maybe I should pick him up?" That's why I'm here. I'm here to tell you no. Don't do that. But his xFIP is 3.92! K/9 8.42! 2.97 BB/9! Totally get that. Anderson is not going to live up to those numbers - they were a pedestrian 7.26 and 3.26 prior to this start - and you have a guy who's a possible weak streaming option in only have the games he plays (i.e. outside of Coors) and not someone you want to own. Capisce?
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
You’re gonna be wrong on Anderson…just like Cahill.

If I was looking to trade Bundy for a safer pitcher, who should I target?
