Cole Hamels, SP, Phillies
Scheduled Double Starters For Week 2 (April 9th – April 15)
Each and every Thursday throughout the season, the following week’s double start options will be listed below. They are listed in the order that I would prefer them in my own lineups.
The top tier of guys should be in your lineup regardless of who they are pitching against. You drafted them to be the core of your rotation, they need to pitch for you. Occasionally, starters with terrific matchups in both starts will find their way into this group.
The second tier of guys should most likely find a place in your rotation as well. In shallower leagues, perhaps you could play the matchups with this group.
The bottom tier of pitchers listed should be on your bench or started with extreme caution. Don’t say I didn’t warn you or your ratios.
Disclaimer: Generally, early on in the season there will be games rained out or cancelled on account of weather. Be warned that if you pick up one of these pitchers anticipating two starts, there is always the chance that he only ends up pitching once.
