Ryan Franklin

Never thought much of him, but good number so far. Is this guy worth looking at or is it an early season aberation?

No M's fans out there with an opinion on Franklin?

he's always been a decent pitcher throughout his career but he has never gotten much run support. With the Ms' improved offense I think he can definitely win 13+games with good ERA/whip. He won't get you many Ks but if you are in need of a 4th-5th starter he's worth picking up

I am looking for a Gordon replacement in a 12 team, 5x5 Roto league. He, Ayala and Astacio (yuck) look like the best pitching options left for a bench slot. Some decent hitters fliers lurking on the wire including Lugo, Grissom, Miles, Castilla, Bradley, Spivey, and Branyan, but my need right now is pitching.
