Actually, I hesitated about starting him at Cleveland today, I had a bad feeling about this. But I still started him anyway. That cleveland line up is pretty sick, especially in Verlander's current state. Now I realized that he is no longer a must start. You have to play match ups with him now, which shouldn't be if he is the first pitcher you drafted. You should never play matchups with your #1 pitcher. I have no idea why he is struggling, he has the talent to only require 2 or 3 runs to win a game, maybe that whole tigers team is in a funk. Ortiz and Verlander were among my first 6 picks, so I am probably more frustrated than you, even.
