10 Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy and Sell for Week 9
Sell Tyler Chatwood
The Chicago Cubs have a few issues in their rotation, and perhaps the second-biggest one -- after Darvish -- is their other free-agent off-season acquisition, Tyler Chatwood.
When Chatwood was on the market entering his age 28-season, the thinking was getting him out of Colorado would help his high career walk-rate of 10.7%. Instead, that walk rate has ballooned out of control, sitting at 20.3%. His WHIP of 1.76 is also extremely high, and the only thing that has kept his ERA as low as it is (4.10) is an extremely low home run allowed total of 0.37 dingers per 9 innings.
The Cubs are playing reasonably well this season, but Darvish and Chatwood have been weighing the team down thus far. Chances are Chatwood has been weighing down your fantasy team as well and should be dealt or dropped immediately.
