Oh Robert Gsellman. I liked you quite a bit entering the year as a solid #5/#6 for squads given the NL Easy and a solid skill set of pitches but boy has it gone south in a hurry. His first start was lackluster and he followed it up with an atrocious 4.2 IP, 8 ER, 5 Hits, 3 BBs, 5 Ks against the Marlins. I'm sure many of you have dropped him and I don't blame you. I own him in a good amount of leagues and I'm holding. Yep, his Fastball still has solid sink at 95+, Slider is there and Changeup as well, it just isn't going his way right now. Maybe playing against the Fish for the second straight week hurt. Maybe he just needs to rev his engine a little. Maybe he hasn't spent time praying to the old Gods and instead been focusing on the new. What I see is a pitcher who still has the talent that I'm not tossing to the wolves after two starts, especially when he gets the Phillies next. You gotta believe.
