i like floyd OK, but i like a higher k rate with my starters that's why wandy and escobar look good to me. i like wandy a lot this year and escobar is throwing 95 right now. obviously the risk associated with both is different - depends on what you're comfortable with. but if you're not feeling floyd, this is where i'd look. and keep your eye on buchholz

Flyod is decent but if you wanted to go with a new pitcher I think Wandy is the way to go.

I think he is a bit of a sleeper this year! He should get you more Ks

Of all of the pitchers listed, I'd probably go with Wandy. Hard to ignore that almost-9 K rate; I have the guy on a couple teams, and like him as a sleeper candidate.

Not sold on Floyd, but would probably go with him over anyone else listed.

Wandy - great K rate, and has trimmed the ratios
Duchscherer - due for a bit of regression, but still better bet for good ERA and WHIP than Floyd

I'd probably sit tight for now, but definitely keep an eye on Wandy. Also if you can snag Duke when he's healthy I like him over Floyd...
