And if you look at the underlying starts, it's not like he's hiding an injury, the velo is there, he just doesn't have good control at this point. As he showed last year, the turnaround to the guy from 2 seasons ago can come any game, or perhaps he's just a good, not great pitcher right now.
The strikeouts are a plus, the wins are solid, but he's become a total WHIP killer in roto leagues. And at his price, whether you're in an auction or redraft league, that is unacceptable. His valuation is starting to become more about his legacy than his current form.

Originally posted by revo View PostThe problem is that he has a 1.34 WHIP since the beginning of last season. Because he throws so many innings, he's going to end up with almost 25%+ of a fantasy team's IP by season's end, so that 1.41 WHIP of this season is likely going to torpedo any chance of contending in that category. In my 16tm redraft, for example, second to last in the WHIP category is 1.33.

There's value there, just not what it was in his prime."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

I really was hesitant to take him in RJ Mock #1....now I wish I would have passed.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I traded him for De aza last week. I feel guilty for stealing De Aza.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Is this an IP issue? He has piled up innings for a lot of years. Not every elite SP is Jack Morris.

He was traded in my league..yesterday..for Chase Headley!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
