Tyler Skaggs

In the winter, BA wrote, "Skaggs profiles as a solid No. 3 starter right now, and he can become a frontline starter is his fastball and changeup develop as hoped." My question is, how is his development going this season?

I ask because I own him in a dynasty league. If he appears to be a #3, I could use his roster spot on something else since I already have Hanson, Romero, Hellickson, Teheran, Parker, Bauer, Lamb, and McNutt in the system with a 1200 IP cap.

Wouldn’t you cut Lamb given the injury?

Skaggs could make for a #2 guy

The #3 seems to assume, from what I understand, that he doesn’t add velocity. I believe he may have already added some velo (reports in ST were encouraging in this dept), and there’s the possibility for a touch more.

Not going to guarantee the complete accuracy of this, though. :-)

If you’re looking at a guy who’s actually going to pitch for a while in the majors, Skaggs>>>McNutt

What’s the knock on McNutt? BA had him ranked around 50 in the winter and listed him as one of the top candidates to make a big jump up the list this season. I know he’s had some health issues, but if that just means he settles in as a closer then that’s very valuable in my league too.
