Does anyone have any insight on what is wrong with Cahill? He has now allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last four outings and hasn't won a start since early May.
Do you think he will right the ship this Sunday against the Giants?

I was actually wondering the same thing. I don't know if I should drop him or what.

yeah I personally think he can get back on track since he is facing the Giants next, but Pablo Sandoval is back so that might change things.

Do you still think he will have a season close to what he did last year?

I would highly doubt that... if I had to guess, I'd say high 3 ERA with a low K rate... nothing I'd be too excited about, personally.

Bingo. And I wouldn't expect the wins to start flowing in either. He does pitch for the A's, after all.

Yeah, he got a bit lucky last year with a .236BABIP...he's currently at .278 which is more like it. HIS LOB% is also at about as high as I would expect but it may even drop a couple % also. He's a solid real life pitcher but not typically going to be a force in fantasy for no other reason than his K rate will be in the 5.5-6 K/9 range over a full season. I can see him maintain a low to mid 3's ERA but overall he's just not a must have in fantasy. He would have been a good sell high a few weeks ago.

He has certainly had a higher strikeout rate so far this year then he had this time last year, but you're right he probably won't be able to keep that up. But I still think he will be a very valuable pitcher for where he was drafted in most leagues.
