Gonna go out on a limb and say Porcello. There's some good options, but I really like him this year and he should be able to help you out.

Your pitching staff looks alright. I've gotta disagree on Porcello. He may pick up some W, but he's not a big K guy. Not many on that list are. I'd hold Lilly for now as he'll be back soon. One guy I'd consider dropping Neiman for is CYoung - he looks to be healthy, and will at least dominate his home starts. I'm personally a fan of Happ (and like him more than Neiman), but he's more of an ERA guy (moreso than K). The only other one I'd consider is Wolf in Mil - keep an eye on him.

It's out on a limb, I'm looking for his K/9 to improve. Young is probably a better idea though

Grab Wolf!!! The most under-rated starter in the MLB in my opinion. I'm loving him in Milwaukee, he could win 18 games there. Not a huge K guy but defiantly an asset to any fantasy team.His earlier numbers aren't great, but cut him some slack since he had to pitch in Philly. He had some arm trouble last season too, but he's healthy now and a steal off the wire.

I don't disagree that Wolf is underrated and I agree he could help (probably more than Nieman), but 18 wins? He played for a division winner in LA last year and only won 11. Outside of one 16 win season he's never won more than 12. How does he win 18? Still, he's not so bad in K or K/9 (better than Nieman).

I guess I just expect big things from the Brewers. Maybe 18 is a stretch, but again he was pitching through some arm issues of some kind last season (Wolf referred to it as "chronic soreness". Either way, he's a nice option to get for free, he usually helps get your team WHIP low too.
