Archie Bradley pitched six innings of four hit ball Friday night against the Cubs, allowing one run, walking three and striking out ten. Archie has been a highly touted prospect for a while, but hasn't really been able to put it all together, until now, dot dot dot, question mark? But the real question mark here--Betty or Veronica? I was always a Ronnie guy, because I am a masochist and I prefer a woman who hates my guts. Regardless, after struggling in spot starts in April and early May (2 GS, 10.1 IP, 14 hits, 9 ER, 7 BB, 6 K), and holding a plus-6 ERA in 10 career major league starts, Archie has returned to the bigs in a big way. In two starts since being recalled, Bradley holds a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 13.1 innings, with a 19/4 K/BB ratio that will make your fantasy team real happy happy. Slightly more impressive when you consider yesterday's start was on the road against a fearsome Chicago line up. I was gonna stream him, but then I was like, "nah." That was a mistake. I won't doubt you again, Archie. Bradley was rocking a 1.99 ERA, 1.08 WHIP with 47 strikeouts in 7 starts at AAA Reno this season, so it's clear he's ready for the next level. I would grab Bradley in all leagues where he's available. Grey told you to BUY and he gets a cushy match up with the Rays next week. Don't be a Jughead, grab Archie!
