EDGE Analysis

Of course, Green also added Jhoulys Chacin, Jered Weaver and "others" to the mix, per Cassavell, again proving this is an unattractive fantasy situation. The soft-tossing Richard hardly has the skills to make up for his lack of strikeouts. No Padres starting pitcher stands out as a must-draft option in mixed leagues, though NL-only drafters can take a guarded, cheap chance on them.
