BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
There's something to be said for the old boring veteran. They have proven to be able to stay in the rotation and deliver good starts often enough to help the team. That is Michael Wacha in a nutshell.
He currently sits a 4.06 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP to go with his 22.2% K% and 7.0% BB%. None of those numbers are very good, but none of them are bad either. The league ERA right now sits at 4.32, so he's beating that mark pretty easily. Last week he had a ridiculous 11-strikeout performance against the Royals. I mean it's the Royals, 11 strikeouts!? And he only walked one in that start – it was one of the best fantasy starts of the season.

He'll probably not replicate that again this year, but again – there's something to be said for having a guy like this on your fantasy rotation, especially if/when that Padres offense really gets rolling in the summer.
