With that performance last night against a smoking hot team (Oak), you have to wonder if Jake Westbrook is starting to figure things out. I had him benched, but that was very impressive.
With that 8-12 record, he is probably available in several leagues, but b/c of poor run support early in the season that record should probably be better.
What about Kevin Millwood? His ERA is in the low 3's and a WHIP around 1.2. Another victim of poor run support ... only 4 Ws, but if the Tribe is starting to hit, as some have claimed here, wouldn't he be a good target for the last 1/3?
One name I don't here mentioned very often is Ben Sheets. He has been solid the past month or so and I think if poised to have a fine 2nd half. Also, some people dismiss him because of his record. What do you guys think of him?

I am glad I didn't see this before. Almost on cue, he has given up 16 runs in his last two starts.

I know two guys who seem very high on him for the second half:
1) Me, been trying various deals to acquire him for three weeks, and
2) His owner in my league, who won't let him go for anything.
