--Danks, Kershaw & Porcello-- Who would you start??

[bmfote]

thinkin about benching Porcello to see what he can muster up, and going to start kershaw and danks as of now

please give me some advice on kershaw!

I think youre safe with Danks and Kershaw but I wouldnt give either anything better than 7 out-of 10 in terms of value. They wont get lit up but I doubt theyll put up anything awesome. I'd say both are must-starts though.

Porcello on the other hand I am going to start personally. My reasoning is that Porcello's 2seamer/sinker will be able to induce alot of low pitch counts per at-bat on a very agressive Toronto team. That and Porcello is still relatively unkown around the Majors and may be able to sneak a couple good starts in before teams catch up. I'm not confident in my analysis but hey, it's still early enough.

Off topic but, where would I get information that'd give me league statistics on teams .ba when playing day games after night games?

I think Kershaw is the best start out of the 3 facing SD at SD.
Dank and Porcello aren't bad starts either. I'd probably start all 3.

[Rance Mulliniks]

Definitely start Kershaw. I'd also start Danks. I have the same feeling as you and would want to see Porcello succeed in one start before throwing him out there. True the Jays have never seen him, but then again he's never faced major league hitting in a real game. Maybe I'm just too risk averse

IMHO: Danks will probably go 6IP, 2ER, 5K (win). Kershaw will probably go 5IP with a bunch of Ks, but ERs will be a major wildcard. Porcello's a straight gamble.
