Work The Wire: It’s Gorzelanny Time!
If you are struggling for pitching you MUST pick up Tom Gorzelanny. He has been viewed as a potential breakout player for the past 4 years. In 2007 he threw 200 innings with 14 wins and 135 K’s as a 24 year old. Don’t be misled by his numbers the past 2 years he was battling injuries. Young pitchers typically aren’t experienced enough to battle through injuries and still be effective. Now in 2010 he has regained his health and command. In his past 4 starts he has thrown 25 innings, and struck out 31…RIDICULOUS! Pick him up NOW!
On a side note: Brett Myers has in 7 starts this year not thrown less than 6 innings, owns a 3.52, and sat down 32 batters in 46 innings. A nice compliment to the Gorzelanny move, adding the veteran will provide you some consistency and reliability.
