Ian Kennedy & Jake Peavy are one star to high.
Dillon Gee & Chris Carpenter are one star to low.
Just my opinion.
would you drop scherzer and pick up kennedy for the long term? and how about aramis finally hitting a 4 bagger, has my power baby come back from the ivy covered depths of center field or am i dreaming
No, I wouldn’t. Is there someone else you can drop for Kennedy? I do like him, but not as much as I like Scherzer.
As for Aramis, he was due to breakout sooner or later, wasn’t he?
I don’t think Chacin is a two start pitcher this week. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Max Scherzer become one.
You are correct on Chacin, as he started yesterday. Adjust accordingly!
