Where does Chirinos fit in here given hes starting today, instead of yesterday, and without an opener?
Sorry about that, just updated. Thanks for letting me know! He’s at #16.
Why so high on Wheeler given that he was just torched by Washington?
Because he’s a good pitcher and it was only his first start of the season
and he already sucks. so much for that
Hey Nick. Need to faab tonight. Cant decide between Montas (Balt,Hou,Tor) or Turnbull (Clev) thanks for your help!
Wheeler complete trash
