Fizzlers and Sizzlers - Week 6

SIZZLERS Aaron Laffey (SP, Cleveland Indians): Talk about pitching depth. The Cleveland Indians have C.C. Sabathia (yes, he's on my "Fizzlers" list, but he's still a good pitcher), Fausto Carmona, Cliff Lee, Paul Byrd, and Jake Westbrook (returning from the DL) as their first five starters, and they also have Aaron Laffey, Jeremy Sowers, and Adam Miller waiting for a full-time spot. Of those last three, Laffey has been the one who has had the most innings to prove himself. Since Westbrook has been on the DL, Laffey has posted a win, a 1.83 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 8 K's, and just 4 BB's in 19.6 IP. In his past two starts, he didn't allow a run. Back-to-back shutouts. And this guy doesn't have a full-time gig yet? You have to think that the Indians are going to make a move for a hitter, so a guy like Westbrook or Byrd could be on their way out, or possibly a young gun like Laffey could too. Regardless, keep riding the Laffey bandwagon because he's good, real good.
