BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl is stuck in the rut of his talent not matching his results, keeping him off everyone's radar. After spinning seven scoreless, one-hit innings on his way to eight more strikeouts in Milwaukee on Sunday, it might be worth taking a shot on him again. Kuhl's sinking fastball sits at 95-96 mph consistently, and he is using his slider and curveball in a more balanced fashion this year. The walks tend to be an issue at times (12 in 39 1/3 innings), but the talent alone always keep me coming back.
It is wise to have some Kuhl exposure when he takes on the Giants at home this weekend and, if he can put up a good performance, he is worth holding onto for a longer spell. Monitor his home run numbers (seven thus far this season), but, if he can keep his homers down, he has SP4 upside.
