Hope level that the following starters will contribute well the rest of the year on a 1-10 scale (10 is I expect it, 1 is lol, yeah right!):
1. Duff: 8
He was pretty good in April, and pitched a great game against the Tigers on 4/30
2. Yordano: 6
Sys or somebody pointed out that his WHIP is down this year, and all his perefial numbers are about what they were last year, yet he's had such a weird time with runners on. He had a few games where he was really, really good. The health worries me.
3. Medlin: 5
Just no way to know.
4. Cueto: 2
Its possible, I guess, but I'm not holding my breath.
5. Hammels: 1.
I don't know if we'll touch that contract.
Any game that we win with Blanton or Pino is stealing. We are stealing baseball games. If Duff comes back and pitches well, I bet we stay put at the deadline.
