I'm tempted to pick this guy up. His last start was pretty solid and he still has good stuff. What does everybody think of him?

Definition of WW fodder that shouldn't be touched in my eyes. Maybe in a weekly H2H, I guess, but in roto guys like this can totally negate the good done by 1 or 2 ace starters.

Can't imagine he'd be the best pitcher available in leagues of under 14 teams with deep rosters. I liked him when he first broke in with the Phils, but he hasn't really progressed from his initial splash, if anything, he has regressed. I'd be looking for a couple more good starts at least before I'd pounce. K/BB of 1.60 doesn't portend well for future results, but he does have some raw ability.

It depends on the league. His stuff isn't bad and I think the K potential is there, but he doesn't have a lot going for him. He pitches for a bad offensive team with a questionable bullpen. The ballpark won't help all that much either, but, like I said, it depends on the league. If the league is deep enough, he isn't a terrible option with the right matchup. He has done a little better lately, but I'm not sure I'd be confident enough to start him just yet.

There aint crap out there on waivers, so that's why I was considering him. I'd like to think he still has some upside, but his team is complete junk.

Pretty much the opposite of what you should be looking for in a SP.

Underwhelming K/9: 6.84
Big time flyballer: 51.3% flyballs
Not good BB/9: 4.27

Bonus round: Pitches for an awful offensive team %-6

DO NOT WANT

He draws two starts this week versus LA and Arizona, then he'll be at Petco. i wouldn't own him, but if you were going to spot start him, now would be the time to do it.

I think he only pitches once this week. He goes Tuesday, and they have an off day on Thursday.
So he'd be a two start pitcher next week, @CHC, @SD.
