This week Rotoman addresses the incessant need for pitching. And while the obvious answer is clearly not clear, it is clearly best to go for guys who have been good. Rather than those who might be good.
Unless, of course, you have no choice but to hope that those who might be good actually might turn out to be good.
The bottom line: Go for the guys you know are good. But go for the cheapest of the bunch. Don’t ever pay what you hope someone will be worth.
Then hope you get a little lucky.
That, of course, is a good reason for teams that are out of it to hope they might come back.
