The Coach’s Office- Q1) What does my guest @Whudey expect from Mat Latos going forward? Can he be that fantasy ace that most teams are missing? Q2) Twitter Question- Who do we each like for the rest of the year from this grouping ( Marcus Stroman, Kevin Gausman, Chase Whitley) Q3) Because of the struggles of some of the top pitchers picked in drafts this year does it still make sense to pay for pitching in Roto leagues next year?
