Expectations for Hutchison in the 2nd half

[cardboardbox]

Hutchison by month:

ERA: 3.82 3.94 4.28 5.00
xFIP: 3.22 4.70 4.23 4.10
GB: 1.00 0.75 0.89 0.65
K/9: 10.36 5.91 6.59 10.50

Only about 57 official IP last year in the minors although I assume he had plenty of unofficial rehab innings.

Are we holding Hutchison or are getting ready to drop him? I think he will have more and more bad starts as he tires in the 2nd half. That GB rate is scary considering his home park and division.

I have Hutchison in our AL league, but would deal him if I could. His injury history and lack of innings are as big concerns as the stat trends. That said, I don't think he will totally collapse. I do anticipate plenty of Ks, but a bumpier ride in ERA.

It's Toronto - I expect he'll be hurt

I just traded him in my league - pretty sure his workload will be reduced in the second half, probably signficantly.
