Struggling to decide on a pitcher add in my 12-teamer (roto, standard pitching cats).

I was the last to take a pitcher in my draft, so with Julio T as my nominal ace, along with Quintana and McHugh and a bunch of upside plays (as well as DL'd Cobb) rounding things out, I've had a bit of a rough go of it, so far at least.

Three names stick out on my waiver wire--Hendricks, Fiers, Hutchinson. (Dropping Ken Giles, for whatever it's worth.)

The latter two likely offer more SO upside, but BBM projections have Hendricks well out ahead, thanks largely to the WHIP projection. Is he my clear add here? Fiers' Ks really have me salivating. It does seem like Hendricks would be a solid if unspectacular ration contributor, though, a la Roark last season.

Hutch easily for me. Has the best stuff and K upside. Your WHIP is heavily weighed down by two starters (DeScla and Nelson) that I expect BBM will be updating their projections on soon.

I agree with Mvand Hutch is the obvious choice and is a must own in a 12 team league IMO. Kid is nasty and I own him in a highly competitive league in which I've received multiple trade offers for him. All in which I respectively declined.
