Fantasy: Mr. Two Timers

4. May 2009  - Published by Dan Clasgens

Two games were rained out yesterday. The Mets and Phillies did not play and the Angels and Yankees were rained out as well. Here is the fallout from those two postponed games as it relates to two-start pitchers.

1. Johan Santana will get two extra days of rest and won't pitch until Wednesday. He is out as a two-start pitcher for week five. John Maine, who was supposed to start on Sunday, will go on Monday, making him a two-start pitcher. He should be categorized as a "Risky Business" pitcher this week.

2. The rainout has given Cole Hamels some extra time to heal as he won't be pitching until Friday. He's only starting once this week. Joe Blanton will start tonight against the Cardinals and is now an extreme "Risky Business" type pitcher.

3. A.J. Burnett will no longer be pitching on Tuesday. That task belongs to Phil Hughes. He'll be going twice this week and should be considered a low-end "Solid Start".

4. Shane Loux will still be pitching twice this week for the Angels even though he got pushed back one day. Anthony Ortega will no longer be going twice, but Joe Saunders will be. He starts Monday and Saturday and is a pretty "Solid Start".

COMPLETE WEEK 5 TWO-TIME STARTERS
