$1/last round fliers Starting Pitchers

[Erik]

Do Worley or Volquez go for $1?

In NL-only, no.

[Gregg]

I actually really like AJ Burnett this year, although 12-team mixed you may not need to go that deep.
Do Worley or Volquez go for $1?

Not if I am in the league.

Garrett Richards (LAA) - great stuff that hasn't translated into Ks yet. Needs a way into the rotation but the skills are worth a buck.

Given Weaver is back does Richards get bumped from the rotation? Is he worth hanging onto if you need pitching starts this week and beyond?

Williams has some health issues. I think he is the one getting bumped.

Thanks - I will hang onto him through tmrw's FAAB then and hope he gets the start vs LAD over the weekend.

props to DMT for the McDonald mention.

my 29th-year archrival was the only other guy in end-game with a pitching opening and an extra buck, so I called McDonald's name and directly asked my rival if he wanted to buy for $2.

"no thanks," he said.

[BuckyBuckner]

In my 13 team NL only league I drafted McDonald last year for $10 and traded him in a dump deal going for a title. The owner didn't keep him and I drafted him again this year for $4. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

I'm happy with my dart throws, but I actually did better scraping up people's drops than I did in the draft.

Mike Minor's last five starts: 31 IP, 1.78 ERA, .792 WHIP and 27 K. He seems to have done something different recently. Perhaps that's why you are giving someone with a 5 ERA for the season a C and not an F. His WHIP for the season is 1.286 which is pretty good considering the ERA.

[Porcello]

The only ones you hit on were the ones that weren't $1 pitchers.

Players drafted after round 20 or cheaply in auction - Sale, Dempster, Capuano, Harrison, Billingsley, Samardzjia, Niese, Aroldis, Homer

Players picked up in season - Minor, Fister, J Mac, Samardjia, Lynn, Milone, Burnett, Dickey. Happ was nice for a while too.

I'm happy with the results.

FWIW, I did give Minor a C because of his recent performances. I drafted and dropped him in a few leagues, but picked up him back up around July 4 - whenever the game against the Yanks was. Watched and he did real well early then ended up with a blah stat line after getting squeezed on a couple of pitches in the 6th. Looked like the light had turned on. Overall, my stats with Minor for the season are decent, I missed a lot of his struggles but can't ignore them which is why I gave him a C. Due to his stats on my team.

[Porcello]

Not too sure what your problem is.
