Trevor Cahill vs Rays?

[Hit Factory]

What do you guys think, should I send out Trevor Cahill to face the D Rays? They are playing at home in Oakland but they are facing a really dangerous Rays team, plus Kazmir is on the mound.

Trevor Cahill is extremely raw...how deep is your league?

Hey Forrest, I checked out your blog it was really good, very well done! I am in a really deep 12 team mixed roto league, I love to take chances with these young pitchers who have such a huge upside. However I am going to sit him against the Rays, I just have bad images of him having an off game and ruining my whip and era for the day lol.

Dude, don't get me wrong, I love Trevor Cahill. He has top of the rotation stuff. However, for this year, he is a spot starter against weaker opponents. The Rays are actually a very good OBP team, which could cause Cahill some problems if he struggles in the least with his control tonight.

Please feel free to visit my blog and leave any questions there if you'd like, even if they don't relate to the post!

I actualy like this matchup. The Rays are much better vs. lefties and you gotta like Oaklands stadium. Its a worthwhile gamble IMO.
