That's a lot of starting pitching.  Do you have an innings limit? I imagine you're doing well in wins and strikeouts which is what McCullers will provide\ mostly. You also have Fernandez coming back in about a month so he helps in those categories. I'm just wondering if he's worth spending a lot on if he's not a great fit.

lb1234  6/6/2015 11:19 AM

There is no innings limit. The constraint here is that we do weekly lineups. So I can only get 6 pitchers in each week. I blew my budget on my lineup and Zimmerman/shark which is why I have a lot of garbage starters to fill up the staff. So I'm trying to find a diamond in the rough sorta like Richards a year or two ago, or Mchugh to an extent last year. Also since it is weekly there's no real benefit to having bench hitters either. 

ken_admin  6/6/2015 8:39 PM

He's worth grabbing if you feel you need wins and strikeouts.  As far as a bid amount, he's projected near Lance Lynn the rest of the way if that helps.

lb1234  6/7/2015 8:53 AM

I bid 11, he went for 12. So annoying.
