those are chris youngs earned runs in his last 6 starts(conveniently since i picked him up, though i saw none of this coming).

can someone explain where this is coming from? was he a highly touted prospect? and can we expect him to, maybe not keep this up, but maybe perform as a top 15 pitcher from here on out?

I expected this(false), that is why I drafted him(true).

I don't know much about him, but since he did very well last year in texas, I had high hopes for him this year in san diego.

I am not in a league that he wasn't drafted in. How was he available???

Unfortunately, I missed out on him in all but one league. He did well in Texas and a move to pitcher friendly Petco Park and this could have been forseen, but hindsight is 20/20.

The funny things are that he's pitched well on the road (including in Coors) but has pitched poorly at Petco for most of the year (the last 6 or so starts excluded) and get this...Petco is now HOME RUN NEUTRAL! Home runs there are up 33% this year that makes it ever so slightly home run favorable (just barely over a 1.000 park factor for home runs). I expected Young to be a solid #3 guy this year but he's pitching much better than that up to this point.

That's year to year park factors for ya I guess (also limited sample to a degree).

Here's the full story from Rotowire by the way:

Home runs are up 33 percent at Petco Park this season, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Several factors might be responsible, including unusually hot and humid weather, new downtown construction which might have influenced air flow, and the fact that the right-center field fence was moved in nine feet from last season. Petco is playing more evenly this season, and not strictly as a pitcher's park. This is good news if you own any Padre batters.

Yeah, I had high hopes for Young this year, as he pitched well in Texas last year, especially if one excluded the hottest summer months (where few people pitch well) in Texas, but he has pitched even better than I hoped.

Is Young a Sell High, or Hold on? At first after those 2 REALLY good starts I thought he was a sell high, but now he's making me think otherwise.

I see him as a HOLD guy, the name wont bring you much value yet. The numbers might look shocking (Which they are.) I say ride the cheap pony until it fall's aprt or becomes a purebreed.
