A.L. TWO-START STUDS

A.J. Burnett (Bos, @NYY) – For those of you who care about such things, Burnett has won six starts in a row. I still think the Brewers should have traded J.J. Hardy for him.

Felix Hernandez (Oak, @Cle) – Striking out none in his last start was a definite anomaly, but I think it’s just one of those things.

Ervin Santana (Min, Tex) – I wonder if we’ll ever find out what happened to Santana in 2007; regardless, he’s back on the course he set for himself in 2006.

 

A.L. TWO-START SCRUBS

Daniel Cabrera (NYY, @TB) – Never!

Kenny Rogers (@KC, KC) – Is playing the Royals twice in a week enough to get me to recommend the Roaster? Uh, no.

Kip Wells (Det, @Det) – Bad pitchers who play for bad teams and face a good offense twice in a week are not pitchers you want on your team.

 

A.L. TWO-START WILDCARD

Kevin Slowey (@LAA, @Oak) – Was the 12-strikeout performance significant beyond normal variance? Slowey will be an interesting guy to watch next year.

 

N.L. TWO-START STUDS

Rich Harden (Was, Phi) – Pure dominance.

Ricky Nolasco (@Ari, NYM) – The New Nolasco.

Jake Peavy (Ari, Col) – Last start was just a blip, and he’s at home for both this week.

 

N.L. TWO-START SCRUBS

Kevin Correia (SD, @Cin) – If you’re going to be as bad as the Giants, why not just go for it and be as bad as the Nationals/Padres/Mariners, in an effort to perhaps land Stephen Strasburg?

Paul Maholm (Mil, @Mil) – I like Maholm, but not facing a hot Brewers offense twice in a week.

Randy Wolf (@NYM, StL) – What a bizarre trade. Still not as weird as the Matt Morris one last year, though.

 

N.L. TWO-START WILDCARD

Brett Myers (LAD, @ChC) – Is Myers is finally good again?
