Do I really have to dive into a deep talk about Miguel Gonzalez right now? After nearly going a CGSHO against the Yankees in under 90 pitches Gonzalez went 8.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks last night against the Royals, lowering his ERA to an even 2.00 with a 1.07 WHIP and...yeah. That's about it. His strikeout production is pretty lame, averaging five punchouts per start, though he's needed a 6.75 IPS to get that. Meanwhile, his xFIP is 4.53, SIERA is 4.29 and while 22.5% hard contact and just 11.4% line drives is nothing to scoff at, he's faced the Royals, Yankees, Twins, and Indians. Guess what, his one bad start was against the Tribe. This isn't your solution to your battered staff, nor is Gonzalez the guy you want at the end of a 12-teamer to help your ratios each week. He's going to hurt more than help, which means I'm have to say, Miguel...no.
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
