RotoBaller Week 1 Sit or Start: Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitchers

As you can imagine, we here at RotoBaller.com are EXTREMELY excited for the start of the 2013 baseball and fantasy baseball season. To celebrate the kick-off, our staff experts have given their 'sit or start' picks for week one's fantasy SP hurlers. As you can see, we are taking a "tread carefully" approach.  A lot of pitchers are still rusty or making adjustments, and can get blown up early in the year.  You don't want that statistical clunker in your lineup off the bat...

By the way: some of the pitchers we recommend benching in week 1 could easily be solid as the year moves along.  But a wait-and-see approach in the first week of the season usually spares you much heart ache and pain in the ERA / WHIP departments.  It's tough to recover in ERA and WHIP the more you get blown up early on in the year.  Basically we are recommending that you bench most guys in unfavorable matchups in the first week, where we would be less bearish on them later on in the season...
