Litsch

Jesse Litsch of the Blue Jays recorded his 7th win and has shown he belongs in the big leagues. But I am not sold on his performance as of yet. His numbers are fairly good but he has yet to prove he can pitch through an entire season effectively. The more I see this pitcher throw for the Jays the more I see a pitcher who will get banged up in the future because of his low strikeout rate.

His current ERA of 3.18 will eventually start to creep upwards and most likely land in the high 3's/low 4's. His ability to keep the ball in the park and also throw strikes does help his cause but at the end of the day, I believe this is a great candidate to sell high on. Try and see if there is a team in your league that needs some help in pitching and see if you can grab a mid-tier bat from them.

Jesse Litsch

Jesse Litsch of the Blue Jays just threw his first complete game shutout of his career against the Royals. So far this season Litsch has proven his ability to pitch at the big level compiling a 6-1 record with a 3.57ERA in 58 innings. This is a great option for all owners who are in need of help with their pitching. The only problem is he most likely will be on someone else's team especially after his complete shutout.

Litsch is a respectable 4-5 starter in mixed leagues because his inability to strike people out but with his low BB rate (8BB's in 58 innings) he is a good option. Bottom line, he should be owned.
