This week’s entry marks the conclusion of the two-start pieces for the 2012 season. While baseball will continue on into October, the week of regular season baseball doesn’t amount to enough time for anyone to start twice. So with that, thanks for a good year, and hope to see you all back here next season.

This week’s starters include a pair of guys I’ve mentioned already this season, and since a third option was tough to come by, a trio of very low ownership types that could be worth a look. Read the rest of this entry »

This week’s two-start piece is an even balance of righties and lefties, with one legend and a trio of relative unknowns. Read the rest of this entry »

1. Cliff Pennington will be a top-five AL SS.

Not a good start, as Pennington wouldn’t be a top-five shortstop in California right now. It hasn’t been for lack of opportunity, either, as the A’s have let him trot out there 100-plus times before deciding Stephen Drew was a better choice.

He’s no longer in Miami, but while he was there this was probably close to true. Josh Johnson has more wins, but has also thrown 50 more innings as a Marlin this season. This wasn’t actually all that bold of a prediction, as Buehrle — who by most scoring systems probably is the de facto top dog — has been typical Buehrle, and the team has completely fallen apart, depriving most of these hurlers of their deserved wins. Carlos Zambrano and Ricky Nolasco need not apply.

As an aside, Mike Minor is also a great play this week, but I didn’t feel he warranted a big write-up because he should be owned in most leagues already, at least if owners are still paying attention. Anyway, on to this week’s crew: Read the rest of this entry »

This week’s two-start piece features a recently-dealt lefty, a young up-and-comer, a recent DL activee, and a deep sleeper who can get whiffs but thus far, not wins. Read the rest of this entry »

This week’s two-start group is a right-handed trio of entirely new faces. Reminder: number in parentheses is wOBA versus all pitchers of that handedness. Read the rest of this entry »
