Pitch or Ditch for Tuesday, July 24
CORY’S PICKS
Fister @ Jimenez
Hellickson @ W. Chen
Blackley @ Cecil
Buchholz @ Lewis – Buchholz has been on a serious roll…
De Vries @ Quintana
Smith @ Richards
F. Garcia @ King Felix – M’s are last in MLB in runs at home
Maholm @ McDonald – Maholm is on a road but Pirates can score now
Greinke @ Lee – hang with ‘em (both)
Hudson @ Buehrle
Gonzalez @ Dickey – both are regressing but still deserving starts
Leake @ Harrell – Harrell worth a look for deep league gamblers
Kershaw @ Wainwright
TBD (COL) @ Saunders
Volquez @ Bumgarner
***ZACH SAYS “I’d ditch Buchholz. He was great last time out but did allow 9 ER combined over his previous two starts. For me, @TEX is an automatic ditch for non-elite starters. Also ditch Garcia. It doesn’t matter who he’s up against. I just don’t trust him. Agree on rest.”

Hi Zach,
Just doing some maintenance and wanted your opinion regarding these SP I have in my 10 team, H2H, mixed league with a 40-move max. My current rotation: Josh Johnson, Chris Sale, John Niese, Doug Fister, AJ Burnett, Shaun Marcum (DL), and Brandon Morrow (DL). Neftali Feliz will soon be coming off the DL and he is available in my league. I’m toying with the idea of finding room for him. Is it worth it? Thanks.

Rich,
It’s worth it if you have the roster room but I wouldn’t go crazy. There’s even a chance he will make more relief appearances than starts from here on out and I definitely wouldn’t drop any of you current SPs for him.

Hi Zach, I got some trade talk for ya.
Get Prince, Feliz, and Cespedes
Give B Phillips, Beltre, and Markakis
My other rostered second basemen are Zobrist and Espinosa
What do ya think?
*Felix not Feliz, my bad
Ben,
Absolutely make that trade. Fielder and Felix are the two best players in the deal and I really think that Cespedes will have a big second half.
