In keeping with our game plan of acknowledging good pitchers and avoiding bad pitchers during their GOOD and BAD months of the season, below is the list of arms to watch throughout the month of August. Note that the W-L records are those of the team in which the listed pitcher started over the previous three seasons.
Herein, I present a list of the BEST and WORST pitcher performance records during the month of August over the past three years. Note: a handful of pitchers on this list are currently on the Disabled List but could return to the rotation sometime this month. Keep a close eye on their status.
And, hey beer man, pour me another one for the road, whadda ya say? Enjoy...
