(Stats as of before Wednesday's games)
Lopez gave you a week of good average, but that's only because he is part of a platoon. He didn't help you much in the counting categories. On the other hand, even if you just went from Lopez to Descalso in a deep league you got an upgrade, as Descalso gave you a run and four RBIs over the seven day span, and if you went Descalso then Rolen like i recommended, you picked up three runs and five RBIs along with a solid average to go with it. Rolen has been on fire in the four days since he came back and should be picked up in standard mixed leagues. This Wednesday we are going to take a look at starting pitching. While I write a spot starter column daily, I generally only supply opinions on readily available players when I do that. Today I'm going to be talking about players owned in more than fifty percent of leagues, one pitcher that shouldn't be owned as much as he is and another who should be owned in every league...
