Full Story »Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 13 (Part 1)
What’s not to love about Madison Bumgarner?

Full Story »Week 13 Buy and Sell Starting Pitchers
Solid showing on the buy side last week, as all three pitchers produced quality starts. Of course, both Scott Kazmir and Carlos Martinez spun gems of their own. At least Dan Haren had the courtesy to toss out a clunker against the Cardinals, although he actually pitched well. For once this season, the vagaries of batted […]
