Eric Mack

OK, I have to shift gears on Jered Weaver now. He looks too risky to consider a must-start two-start pitcher at this point. He was beaten up pretty badly Wednesday.

I still trust he will turn it around and be a winner for you, but you might not want to take that risk next week.

Let's replace Weaver with a young arm that clearly is too good to sit:

Must-start two-start pitcher
Edinson Volquez CIN
(05/13) vs. FLA Mark Hendrickson 
(05/18) vs. CLE Paul Byrd 
95 percent owned 81 percent starting

-- Rich Harden returning Sunday ... Chad Gaudin to the bullpen
-- Gavin Floyd red hot ... is this guy for real? Yeah, he is.
-- Edinson Volquez is, too. Who do you like better Cueto or Volquez?
-- Sidney Ponson, too? Is he for real? Um, not really. High-risk for AL-only leagues still.
-- Bronson Arroyo struggling. What are the Reds to do? Homer Bailey?
-- Dodgers going without a No. 5 starter whenever possible? Jason Schmidt or Clayton Kershaw a candidate? Sure, around June 1.
-- Joe Borowski will return as the closer.
-- Eric Gagne struggling. How long can they stick with him?
