    Thank you Dane.

    That Jacob Turner guy he's on the Marlins right?

    I'm surprised to see Franklin Morales on there i know he has hit some rough patches but i think he does a fair job considering his home park is coors field..

    Morales has been okay at times all things considered, but doesn't miss enough bats and gets into trouble walking guys at times. Arrieta's ERA looks good, but he allows way too many runners. A correction is coming and you don't want to be around for it when it happens.

    I think he's hurt. He's arguably the worst starter who has enough innings to be eligible for the "era" title. Wouldn't surprise me to see him hit the DL soon

    He probably doesn't pitch in the majors anymore.

    Chris Volstad, can't wait till he gets another call up. Automatic fade everytime he has pitched for the past 3+ seasons.

    need to compile a list of active bad pitchers and have a certain criteria for them (e.g. allowed 3+ runs per start, a HR allowed per game, etc. for the past 5 starts). bad pitchers are a bettor's best friend, they provide consistency and almost guarenteed results. out of a full card, it's not difficult to pick out good spots.

    why are they still pitching? again, maybe they have big contracts, or they can't send them down or they're forced to start them because they don't have anyone else. some teams start bad pitchers and the game's an automatic write off.


    keep the good insight coming

    Samardzija - Leads team in ERA and K's, but 0-4 in 10 starts. He's the kiss of death -

    Royals signed RHP Joe Blanton to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

    He'll make $1 million if he cracks the major league roster. Blanton made just two appearances at Triple-A for the A's last season before shutting things down, but he's been on a normal throwing program this winter. The veteran right-hander held a 6.04 ERA over 20 starts and eight relief appearances with the Angels during his last stint in the majors in 2013. Now 34, Blanton is a long shot to make a real contribution to the Royals but isn't a bad gamble on a minor league deal.

    IMO the worst starting pitchers in MLB that are untouchable as far as being sent down to the minors or benched are these 2 gas cans


    Clay Buchholz
    and
    CJ Wilson

    i intend to start an 6 team open parlay and fade each of these pitchers first 3 starts.

    They both have what i call

    "NOODLE ARMS"

    Agree with CJ wilson. Always has some garbage sub 4 era and only started having a winning record when he started playing for offensive juggernauts (texas then l.a). He's like CC but worse.

    Ya being an Angel fan i have to agree, Wilson is awful and it almost looks like he doesn't give a shit.
