BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo! leagues
ANALYSIS: Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull is through four starts, and is now being recommended as a deep league add in his third week this season. That's due to this 3.43 ERA (3.16 FIP) as well as his 26.7% K rate and 7.8% walk rate.
Turnbull has yet to give up more than three earned runs in a game, and his last start was a gem: 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. He has posted two quality starts, and was close in his first start - going five innings with three earned runs. At this point, Turnbull is dangerously close to becoming a mixed-league stalwart, as opposed to just a streamer.
However - he has primarily faced bad teams. His opponents this season: Toronto, Kansas City, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. That's going to change eventually, and how he handles high-octane offenses will go a long way to determining his fantasy value in 12-teamers.
Fow now, stream him where you can against poor offenses, and snatch him up in 14+ team leagues wherever possible.
