Glenn Sparkman Makes Unfortunate Highlight
5 years agoKansas City Royals pitcher Glenn Sparkman was tasked with going six innings against the Nationals on Saturday to give the bullpen some rest, and he did his job. He allowed four earned runs in six innings to take the loss, but at least he didn't get lit up like last time he went out there. Unfortunately, a journeyman doing a mediocre job in a loss doesn't make the highlight reels. Allowing Max Scherzer to steal the second base of his career does. Sparkman's inattention to Scherzer allowed the opposing pitcher to swipe second standing up, though he would get stranded. Sparkman is of zero interest in the fantasy community since he strikes out a pitiful 4.76 batters per nine innings and carries an ERA north of 5.00. No one should be starting him against anyone unless they are utterly desperate.
