Best reasonable scenario of Verlander tomorrow...

Postby OneLoveBoomer » Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:48 pm

Verlander vs. TEX, @DET. I know, I know....bad idea.

BUT -- reasonably speaking, what's the best I could expect by starting him? It's getting to the end of the week. Few starts left.

He was hitting 97 on the gun in his first start. This is a good sign - it's all about command though. I'd start him.....

Is it H2H? If so, it depends on how the week is turning out. If you've rolled with Verlander in his 1st start, you may already be hurting in ERA and WHIP.

He's scary though. Verlander has nice career numbers against Texas. What will he give you? He could come out and do really well - I still think he's a quality pitcher who's still young and has been tinkering with his mechanics. It wouldn't be at all unexpected for him to pull it together. Or he could get shelled again. Personally, I'd like to see a solid game from him before I'd start him on my team. That is, if I had anything to lose (if I was way behind in ERA and WHIP in H2H, I'll start anyone who plays for a good hitting team and can get some Ks)
