Weekly 2-Start Pitchers - Week 20
By Scott Mickels
August 13, 2006, 12:02 pm
This column deals with pitchers with two starts each week. However, if you own pitchers with only one start, as we all do, sometimes it’s hard to decide between two similar pitchers, or whether you should go with the starter or the closer. If you have any kind of dilemmas like those staring you in the face each week, don’t hesitate to email me with them. I’m more than happy to help you out and get your team’s rotation pointed in the right direction.
NOTE: These starts are not set in stone. They can change for any variety of reasons; managerial moves, injuries, rain-outs, etc. Please keep in mind they are probable.

Weekly 2-Start Pitchers - Week 11
By Scott Mickels
June 11, 2006, 2:40 pm
This column deals with pitchers with two starts each week. However, if you own pitchers with only one start, as we all do, sometimes it’s hard to decide between two similar pitchers, or whether you should go with the starter or the closer. If you have any kind of dilemmas like those staring you in the face each week, don’t hesitate to email me with them. I’m more than happy to help you out and get your team’s rotation pointed in the right direction.
NOTE: These starts are not set in stone. They can change for any variety of reasons; managerial moves, injuries, rain-outs, etc. Please keep in mind they are probable.
