BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues
OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chris Heston has burst onto the scene for the San Francisco Giants as a viable starter as he is currently near the top of the NL in ERA (2.77).
Originally ticketed for the bullpen, the 27-year-old rookie stepped up when his number was called to replace Matt Cain, who was placed on the DL with a strained flexor tendon in his throwing arm. Even with his recent rough outing (in Colorado), Heston has allowed just eight runs in four starts. In his 26 IP, the right-hander has a 6.92 K/9, elite 2.08 BB/9 and a respectable 1.23 WHIP. Cain is still long away from returning to the starting rotation, so the job appears to be Heston’s to lose. There’s no reason not to ride the hot hand in any league...just make sure to bench him for future @COL outings.
