Check out Week 14s Fantasy Pitching Planner by Eric Mack, a senior fantasy writer for CBS sports! I want to highlight a sleeper bullpen that has been overshadowed by the San Diego Padres bullpens
The Atlanta Braves who are now rejoined by starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens. All of the Braves starting pitchers matchups look good this week and my new favorite prospect is a “One-Week Sleeper” in this week’s pitching planner.
Atlanta Braves Rotation
RHP Derek Lowe – Faces two aces this week. Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay and the New York Mets breakout star Mike Pelfrey
RHP Tommy Hanson – Had been a little shaky of late but in his last start was back to getting Ks. Hanson has been a tremendous player for fantasy owners with some stellar outings this season. He does it big though, blowups included.
RHP Tim Hudson – is on the road facing the struggling New York Mets pitcher Takahashi.
RHP Kris Medlen – I’ve been telling you about Oakland Athletics young prospect Trevor Cahill, now its time to tell you about Medlen. In his last eight outings he is 5-0. On the season he is 6-1 with a 3.19ERA, 64Ks, 16BBs, 1.15WHIP.
RHP Jair Jurrjens – Recently rejoined the starting rotation, and had 2 solid outings after missing the last two months with a strained left hamstring. In those outings, he has recorded 1 Win while surrendering only 8 hits and striking out 10K.
Closer – Billy Wagner – Having a career year and if he plays one more year could be the all-time saves leader. He’s the greatest left-handed closer of all-time if he is somehow a free agent – make room in your lineup.
