Nice article but i have just one comment. You mean to tell me that in the National league there is no must start 2 start pitcher? I would have to say that minus the blow up of last week by Oliver Perez that i would still have to start him because of his dynamite stuff. Oh yea you also forgot the J in Jamie Moyer..

I really don't like the matchups in the NL and I just don't feel that there are any MUST STARTS for two-start pitchers...I like Chris Young and was swaying to put him there. But, after watching the Braves offense yesterday, and the way the Rockies have been hitting, I can't say he's a must start. I'm sure owners won't take him out against either, but if you're looking for a win or two from him I think it'll be a tough matchup for him

Yea i agree with ya there. Jair Jurrjens has been a huge plus for my fantasy team. He had the one bad inning against the mets then he has just been dominate and you can't argue with that Atlanta line up who is just on fire.
